I don't know what your speaker sound preference is, but if you enjoy dynamics and speakers that will really get you involved in the music, I would suggest you see if you can give a listen to some vintage Altec 604 duplex studio monitors. What you will hear is the reason Altecs were the speaker of choice in recording studio's for many many years. They excel with accoustic and vocals. They are also great with Jazz and can really rock if called upon.
The big Altecs may not have WAF, but that is not what they were made for, they were made to make beautiful top tappin music. I have recently listened to some JMLabs speakers and while they sounded good, they were extremely polite. I prefer my old ALtecs for the boogie factor.
I didn't get into this hobby to make my wife happy. I do it because I enjoy the music. I have been happily married for 27 years and I don't see a wife leaving her husband over a pair of speakers, so I say get what sounds good to you. If she loves you, she will get used to it.
BTW, I power my Altecs with MC40 mono tube amps, and the combination WOW's me on a nightly basis.
