What @myjostin said, and…
What you get in a car is called "Cabin Gain"; large drivers in a confined space. You can solve this in a house by adding a lot of large drivers, most musicians playing bass prefer 4 or more 10” drivers right now for a modest club, multiples of that for larger halls, rather than 2 12’s or 15’s, for accuracy sake. (A random fact made by musicians buying performance speaker cabinets.)
Or, to everyone else’s point that you could possibly be the most hated person in town, you can build a small room within a room in a basement or garage, as an example, where the listening chair is in the middle, and the drivers are modified surface mounts and the cabinets external to the listening space. Say 6’x8’; with all surfaces dampened with fabric, carpet with padding etc. This takes Nearfield listening to the extreme. And it doesn’t take scads of power to pull it off.
If properly constructed, even people outside of your "cell" in your house won’t be too bothered, because you don’t need windows and instead of sheet metal on the outside you can use fire rated ⅝” Sheetrock on the inside and outside, and of course if built well, you can fill the insides of the walls and ceiling with sand or some other such vibration dampening material. So essentially a soundproof booth.
Frankly, I’m glad you brought this up, because I’m going to design one for my garage and build it. I love thunderous Rock and Classical, as it’s the best anti-depressant I have found. 😉
And I can execute a tasteful low wattage prissy system for my family room for showin’ off. 😂
A spectacular system could be built for around $5-6k.
I dub thee the “Sound Cell Supreme" listening room. ©️2021 William Pietrzak.
2- Scan-Speak 32W/8878T11 Revelator 13" Woofers, $1,400.
2- Hypex FusionAmp FA501 (250W 8 ohms mono), $1,000.
5- Seas Excel C18EN002/A (E0060) 6.5" Coaxials, $2,500.
1- $2,500 5 channel surround sound receiver of your choice.
1- Building supplies for room and speaker enclosures, $2,500.
Total, $10,000. And peace of mind that no one will bother you, and you will bother no one.
(I already have an Arcam surround receiver and 2 KEF subs to handle the power end and bass, so I’ll settle for those in mine.)
