Thanks to all those who tried to answer an impossible question. A few reactions:
-The new KEF mini-sub is the answer to all my problems. But $1600? I just don’t have it. Same issue with the larger KEFs.
-I’m sure the sub dude is a good product but if it can’t go under the couch, it’s just not going to work.
-Theater Solutions Sub 8 must be the Monoprice model with a different name tag. That’s what kicked off this post in the first place. And it’s still a possibility. I’d get it from Amazon and be able to return it if there’s a problem.
Have you heard it? How is the sound?
-Rocray: Right? And I mean listening in the mid-90s, peaks over 100.
The husband and wife downstairs are both computer engineers and both are working from home. She first bought up the noise subject by apologizing for their newborn, who she said cries all the time. I told her that I’ve never heard a thing—true—and that if anyone should be apologizing, it’s me. She also said that she’s never heard a thing.
In the stairwell, you can hear the sound clear as a bell, both up and down. If the windows are open, you can hear it on the street.
My landlord, who is a contractor, bought a building that was crumbling into the street and rebuilt himself, brick by brick. I’m sure that he’s done very well on his investment, as this four story brownstone is probably worth close to $2MM. Whatever he put under the floors must be magic. I’d ask him but I don’t want want to even bring up the subject, don’t want to go anywhere near it.
Living in the city means all kinds of trade-offs. I guess chest-thumping bass is one of them.
