RE: Acoustics question

>>Are you proposing that the overall level is not too loud for a shared ceiling/floor/wall situation? <<

No--or not just that. First, my downstairs neighbor is a batty spinster woman in her '60s who loves to play loud rock music. She's an angry, unhappy person who's not going to change (fortunately her unit is for sale so maybe she'll be gone soon). On the other hand, if I were to approach her politely and offer her a solution which I pay for (perhaps together with the other neighbors), and which is not too visually intrusive, we might be able to mitigate the problem. In essence, I'm trying to approach this like a grownup.

Second, I DO seem to live in a building where certain (low) frequencies transmit pretty easily through the floors and walls. If I could find a cheap, easily applied solution, I could make it available to others in the building as well.

I guess there is a third reason. I own two units that are joined together. The unit where my system is has no neighbors above or below. So right now I'm lucky. But that situation can't last forever--someone will move in eventually--at which point THEY might start complaining about ME.

CHEERS,
Jim
