Family rooms are full of compromises. Especially when you have a family. I dont suffer from WAF, but I do share the same concerns that most wives do. I want the main room to look nice. Im lucky enough to have a dedicated room so compromises in the family room are fine, but if I only had the one living room setup I would be opting for nice looking speakers, even if sound quality suffered some. I'd likely do a 100% in wall and in ceiling setup in that case.
