I'm not so sure, there are a couple of data points in the OP's dialogue that deserve mention.
(1) His wife obviously has exceptional hearing if she expelled from her home and summarily banished a pair of B&W's and,
(2) She agreed to jointly build a home on a golf course.
There is a special place in heaven for all of our significant others (if there happens to be a place in the cloud for us at all). The problem here may rest with whether we deserve our good fortune or not. A footnote to this story as well...since they were building, the OP could have specified a purpose built listening room and he did not. Therefore, if splitting hairs, this is a self inflicted challenge the OP must overcome LOL. Best to all.
