Hifi and domestic harmony
I want to thank who ever posted a link to the Ikeahacked site ...
The wife is waining :> 
I feel your pain j-j. I'm in a similar situation.
In our old house we were happy with all the hi-fi kit in the living room, but we've moved to a slightly more stylish flat and even I have to admit the look of the place would be spoiled with our current gear.
I'm looking at various options: Active speakers, small standmounters plus a sub hidden behind something, wall mounted jobs, petite floorstanders and various other things. Can't really make up my mind what to do, or whether to do anything at all, as whatever I do will be a compromise.
The Denon CEOL, AVI ADMs, some of the smaller PMCs and one or two other things have been 'approved', but I'm currently sulking as she really didn't like my preferred B&W CMs! She'd go along with it if I really wanted them, but she's spent a fair bit on this place, so I don't want to make her put up with something she doesn't like.
Thank goodness for iPods 
It could be this bad.
What's the problem with that ? It goes nicely with the chintz three piece suite and matching curtains !
Aye! Tastefully framed by the three flying ducks on the wall behind as well eh?
Are these flying ducks a new acoustic treatment i am not aware of ..
Possibly if once were real, and now stuffed. Much more attractive than egg boxes....
That takes me back! I hardly think he is going to get a wall of egg boxes approved by his other half, so the ducks it is then! PS Rumour has it that Anaglypta wallpaper has the same effect...only on less of a scale!!

I really think Anaglypta wallpaper would be the wrong choice in this case . You would get a much warmer , softer , and dare I say it , fuzzier , sound if you were to use flock wallpaper .
