I thought manual copy should be the best solution since it's only 2 files....

You need to learn how to use globs in pathname expansion. In your example the following command would work:

# mv /monitor/abc.def?.wav /data/wav/

The '?' means match any single character. Refer to bash manpage, pathname expansion, Pattern Matching for more information.
