Hello!!

I recently moved out from my parent house to my own apartment, and of course I took my hifi system with me ;). Current setup: Dali Oberon 7, Nad C638 (+BLUOS 2I-MODULE) and a BOWERS & WILKINS ASW608 subwoofer.

I’ve had to leave my subwoofer behind because of complaining neighbors. Even without the sub they’re complaining. Is there anything you can du about this? (I can’t really change the positions of the speakers, at least not more then a couple of cm). I have some money over for ‘‘sound proofing’’ the room, or potentially changing to tower speakers to reduce the noise leaking in to my neighbors apartment, what can I do?? I’m sitting about 4 meters from the speakers.

I’m a 22yo student and pretty new to the whole Audiophile scene. Would appreciate any tips and tricks from a cunning veteran.

    I see you have something under your speakers but look at investing in some sorbothane padding they can eat up the vibrations going into the floor and into your neighbor’s apt. Maybe considering pulling the speakers forward away from the walls. Put some measure of absorbtion treatment behind the speakers. And if nothing works, then consider adding a pair of small bookshelfs for evening listening.
