My wife is often not too observant about changes to my music room. For example she didn't notice when I got my Acoustat 2+2 or when I replaced them with Quad ESL63US Monitors, and even took a few days for her to notice my Avantgarde Duos. So a pair of Magico Q7's, I am certain, would not be noticed. However, a pair of the Ultimates would bring a response. Of course, it helps to keep the room fairly dark.
