Audiophiles and apartments: Oil and water?

I live in an apartment, and am thus constrained when it comes to the volume at which I listen. However, I tend to view this as a glass-is-half-full kind of situation, because when I do have the opportunity for serious listening (when the downstairs neighbor is gone) I appreciate it that much more. How do you handle your situation in an apartment or other close-living quarters?

I respect the space and play my stereos at low to moderate volumes within the generally accepted hours (8AM to 10PM). I also would not use a subwoofer of any kind as it transmits vibrations, which are more annoying than sound. I am also the Coop president, so I really do need to watch my behavior, as well. Now, if only the other residents were as considerate with their televisions, which seem to be blasted at all hours.
