An unusual problem


I recently moved into an industrial loft.  It tuns out the wall of windows extends into the next apartment with the wall butting up against the pane, sealed, but shared none the less.  An 11:15 knock at the door revealed that my subwoofer causes a vibration in my neighbor’s place.  Besides turning it down, can anyone suggest a solution?

I actually just got rid of an awesome REL simply because it provided a 15% gain in sound quality for me and a 75% gain in irritation for my room mate.  
I’d look into finding enjoyment in a set-up that doesn’t bother your neighbors.  Sell the sub and put that $ into upgrading the transparency, resolution  and musicality of your set-up!

Magnepans might be something to consider as I’ve heard that they don’t transmit bass through walls quite like conventional box speakers.  Magnepans are more directional so they may not sound quite as good when walking around your loft but that directionality may help you out as well since it sounds like you have glass along the entire 1 side of your listening area.

Good Luck!
