Magico A3 price increases 50%+

I have been doing a bit of research in my search for a new Loudspeaker upgrade .
since 2018 The Magico A-3 has gone up from $10k to $15k in 3 years That is dramatic .
and that doesnot even include the better feet they are a $1500 option . They are a good speaker but no longer the great deal they once were , and their Xover uses the low cost Average at best ,
Mundorf Evo capacitors, when they should have at least Mundorf Supreme , and Mundorfs cheapest $2 
Green resistors, the M-resist are only $13 retail  they get over $50% off them in a $15 k speaker going cheap? Having done Xover mods for years . If I find a good used pair ,I will use the Excellent VH audio Odam capacitors , and superb Path audio resistors which are noticeably better then even in their best speakers ,which use Mundorf supreme silver gold oil capacitors  which I have used several times  in the past.

achieving car spl levels in a home, particularly with good sq is a hell of a journey, time consuming and expensive, having said that, ymmv
as a former car audio guy i understand the desire, as pointed out, easiest quickest way is small room, treated, multiple subs, all nearfield, equalization

neither headphones nor transducers will achieve the desired effect
if neighbors are a concerns, forget all this and learn to love bass in its other forms
