Agree with Audiotroy.
No speakers or digital correction will cure bad room acoustics. In your case there is a solution and you won’t need wife acceptance because she will not notice it.
10 inches of rockwool on your ceiling supported by grid/strings and covered by
sound permeable fabric. You can do it cheaply yourself. Of course thick carpeting and more sound deadening furniture would be helpful too.
