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.
Since, like everyone else has already pointed out, the bass is the biggest issue… have you thought of maybe flipping the layout around? But the soundsystem where you’re taking the picture from, and put the sofa/table/etc on the wall-side of the room. The speakers being further away from that wall will likely make a HUGE difference.
Also, seeing that you’re about 4 meters from the speakers, you might want to sit closer to not have to turn them up as loud. Flipping the layout and sitting closer will most likely end the complaining.
