Air conditioning for audiophiles.

I live in a small city apartment which gets pretty hot in the summer. My window air conditioner is fairly noisy(it's supposed to be one of the quieter frigidaire models.)

However I cannot in any way shape or form enjoy the subtleties of my music or stereo soundtracks of movies. I might as well be a kid again listening to Cousin Brucie on a transiter radio. People have suggested the Vornado fan which helps if it's not too hot but as you know it can get to a point where a fan just blows hot air around.

ChillWell is a small portable air conditioner which is supposedly very quiet and cools your personal space which is all I need when I'm listening seated in one place.

It is doing a lot of heavy promotion with a cheap price. But whenever I try to look up reviews they all look like PR blurbs.

Anybody have any experience with this item?

Thanks.

FYI,  I have a one ton Mitsubishi split that instead of taking up wall space like a hotel unit, is installed between the rafters and all I see is a plastic grill in my ceiling.  Anyway it was expensive, but is fairly quiet on it low and medium speeds. It does good job of cooling and an OK job of heating the 330 square foot room it’s in.
