Actually though… I’m not sure that originally they had K15/40 bass drivers, I have a feeling they should be AK151. 
Well spotted.
Can still be ordered it seems:

I do run Animas yes 
OTOH I don’t use daft amps (IMHO) a JOB INTegrated of a push-pull 40W valve amp (almost always the JOB)
FWIW they are the first and only piece of HiFi kit in my 47 years of marriage my wife likes the look of!
She is a musician and happy to listen on her lappy speakers soo she didn’t care about the sound one way or the other, just the styling

Hels response - ‘If you’re converting the underground space then you need to budget for a pool’…
‘Hifi room? Fuck off with that or I’ll kick your ugly fucking speakers into the sea’
(I’m pretty sure that she means river, but this is probably an inopportune moment to even begin to point this out).

Yes because in a situation where I can lash out nearly forty grand on speakers I am clearly pussywhipped

I reckon my Lowthers cost me more than that in lost house price

As I keep saying, a divorce would cost a heck of a lot more than any pair of fooking speakers would set me back 
Seriously, a bold design, nicely finished, should get approval. Engage her in the process and do something amazing. Tell her it’ll save £20k which you’ll spend on the garden.

Sell the dream we are talking features and benefits here …Bi-fold doors onto the new, flat, easy to manage elevated garden terrace with superior views (Roof of new build) Log burner in her room or kitchen and plantation shutters for the whole house (I have come to learn plantation shutters get a man out of jail with the quickness) If you are brave of heart you could discuss (through gritted teeth) the ubiquitous kitchen ‘island’ that seems to raise the pulse.

Good lord no. Lovely as she is, she cannot make decisions or choose anything and would paralyse the whole process.
I’d lead with this!

Engage - let her know where things are, how it will be made subtle and tasteful in the room while being bold and assertive. Let her think she’s chosen the colour. Christ man, you’re a consultant, surely you can make her think it was all her idea?
