Too bad, sorry to hear that.

Maybe just the VP150 would make her change her mind. The extra clarity while watching movies can do wonders. You could then just build it up a pair at a time. I have friend that is going to do this and he has the lowest Pioneer on the market right now, he picked it up for just over $200. It does the job.
