Then they'd be broken. Otherwise, regarding the domestic politics involved, it's a process. You could start with something like "Honey, does this recording of Artur Rubenstein actually sound like a piano?". (Be sure to turn the bass and treble all the way down. No, wait, she'll know. Forget that.) Although she may have a more or less immediate response, the question will stick in her head. If you don't own a piano for her to compare it to, casually take her to a place that does, like a local jazz club or a music store. A week or two later, you might try this: "Wow, Scheherazade is so romantic. I bet the violin solo would sound awesome on some really nice speakers." Don't even ask for a reply, just let it simmer. Get the plan? I guarantee that within six months, she'll think that buying new speakers was her idea.
