Hi gochurchgo,
In times past I have lived in an apartment for many years. With careful tweaking, I managed to get excellent sound that would put me well in the music zone for hours with thorough enjoyment. The living room was pretty big at 24’ x 15’. Its not impossible to get great sound in an apartment, but I had to compromise on setup and seating position to get everything balanced. I need a strong bass foundation - its a big priority for me personally. I’ve had modest full rangers that can put out plenty of bass if positioned optimally. I always found placing the speakers along the long wall to sound best, but I managed to get decent results with the speakers etc along the short wall too. If you can manage a decent entry level vinyl system, the bigness / wideness of the sound will hold together really well in an apartment. Just my experience. Cheers bro, Adam.
