The way you are describing it sounds sufficient for this installation. It does not need to be perfect, just good enough, and more than good enough to still enjoy the experience.

Basically think of it as taking 90+ dB in room down to normal what you would consider acceptable leakage for a person with a TV in the room next to you playing faintly.
I guess this goes some way to saying that in a residential setup with adjacent rooms its very hard to get to 100%, which is why my new build is a garden room 60' away!
