Apartment Drama

I lived in apts my whole life and hated those neighbors with the thumping coming thru the building. Now that I have a house I can be lord of the manor.
Elizabeth has it right, it's the bass, you'll never be able to use cabinet spkrs in that apt. Maybe some small monitors on strands like totems. But she has a proven solution...why not give some Maggies a try. And a good set of headphones for late night listening.

But you will never be able to crank it up again in this current apt.

Cerrot...back then In brooklyn you lived in a building that was not new-
construction as did I; plaster and wood walls which helps keep the sound
in. Not great for accoustics, but it can be treated. As a teenager I practiced
drums every day with minimal complaints; but I did it at a resonable hour. I
think neighbors were a lot more tolerant than they are today.

David99... you are located in the worst possible area of your building. You'll
have to make nice with the neighbors if u are to play music in the way in
which u are accustomed. If it was me I would get new spkrs.
