I wouldn't hesitate to install headphones/headphone amps on your TV system. I don't have neighbor problems but I still find headphones highly preferable. Most sound problems IMHO with TV comes from clarity of speech and you minimize this issue by using headphones. The volume issue disparity between you and your partner is another - two sets of phones/two amps, and with open phones you can still have conversations.
The only problems with phones is that you really do hear 'everything' that passes thru the TV tuner, good bad and indifferent.
FWIW I use Senn 598's and a Fournier tube head amp on my TV and Senn 650's and a Woo headphone amp on my main system. Both are good matches and that little Fournier is a sonically outstanding inexpensive unit.
