I would just tell her there is no point in purchasing something that you will regret owning the moment you get the receipt (that is of course if you can't find anything you like for $200/pair). $300 in the long run, should you actually like the B&W bookshelfs, will not be much of a difference over $200 but it will be a big difference to your ears.
Everything I've got is B&W, so I think for this system I'm going to switch gears a little for a different sound. Thanks for the suggestions though.
