speakers are ugly in her eyes. *gasp* Hmmm, time to visit the Custom Wood pages. Let her pick woods and finishes...

Robb - to answer your questions on volume levels... how far away from the speakers are you sitting? If you're 20' away, I guess it'd be easier to understand if the receiver craps out at "average" volumes, but even then it seems unlikely to do so if it's working correctly. One other suggestion - look through the wall of fame for some of the truly beautiful setups some folks have put together with their speakers in full view. RickF's theater is a fantastic example.

I will also add to what Mark said... the custom finishes make a world of difference with WAF. My wife and even my mother in law (an even tougher customer) both think our high gloss cherry speakers are "pretty." That's not really a word a guy wants to hear associated with his theater... but hey, if it pushes the wife over the edge, it's worth it.

Us guys use the term purdy. As in, "Them sure are purdy speakers." *sip beer*

Any chance you have a voltage selector on the back you have set to 6 ohms?
I double checked, my rec'er doesn't have a voltage selector. Robb - to answer your questions on volume levels... how far away from the speakers are you sitting?

I sit about 14' from each speaker and the speakers are about 8' apart from each other.

Some time ago Alan made the comment that listening tests had shown using 2 pairs of speakers for mains- 2 side by side for left and 2 for the right,worked quite well. If floor standers are not an option, perhaps 4 m-22's as mains would be. It would avoid the "giant box" exclamation from the wife when they show up on the doorstep. Might be worth asking Alan about.

It won't avoid the why are there four of them question after unpacking. Other than that using double fronts works well.
