Neighbor Complaining...

Toufu, your Quad 12L2s are rear ported right? These speakers are not really high output so maybe the rear port is vibrating the wall. It would not hurt to try the opposite wall but it will depend on the size of the room vs the standing wave. Do you have a subwoofer also?

Older apartments have paper thin walls, not sure if you are in modern condo with concrete-likely not.

I agree with talking with your neighbor to establish an agreement on level and hours. like in the city, eh? sometimes moving to a nicer apt means fussier neighbors where the other buildings tolerate all sorts of noise. Depends on the neighborhood. Are you in SOMA or downtown?

Let me know about the DAC demo too when this gets settled.

cheers, ed

Headphones.

So when there Toufu is having friends over for dinner they pass the headphones around?

use in a 'nearfield' manner

Thanks guys... I am in San Francisco and just got a loft downtown in one of those old office building converted to condos... The floor seems solid, probably concrete, but not sure if the walls are concrete... Not even the new high rise buildings would have concrete walls, no?

Anyways, I am going to work with them and move the speakers to the other wall and see if it still bothers them, and maybe work out a schedule when I can enjoy my music.

And Ed, yeah, I would definatly want to get together still... Will let you know... probably in a couple of weeks or so..
