moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's


My beloved B&W 802D's with their down firing bass ports would probably drive the neighbors crazy.
I am considering moving to a pair of Revel Performa 126Be bookshelf speakers and using a Velodyne DD-15 raised off the floor.  Anybody have any experience with both the 802D's and the Revel Performa 126Be speakers?

Put them on Townshend Podiums. They cut the bass leaving my room dramatically. They also controlled resonances that greatly making for tighter, deeper, but much smoother bass. Also make a great improvement in overall clarity, detail and tone. Instrumental timbre, nails it. Not cheap but the other stuff you can try won’t make near as much difference, not even close. With subs you can get away with Nobsound springs for cheap, or Pods if you can afford it. You could also try Nobsound for the B&W but I think the combination of downfiring port and immense improvement in detail will make Podiums the way to go.
