moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's


My beloved B&W 802D's with their down firing bass ports would probably drive the neighbors crazy.
I am considering moving to a pair of Revel Performa 126Be bookshelf speakers and using a Velodyne DD-15 raised off the floor.  Anybody have any experience with both the 802D's and the Revel Performa 126Be speakers?

I would let the speakers go and get a RAAL SR1a earphones. I wish I had these when I was in an apartment. The enjoyment factor with these will be exponentially greater than any speaker in an apartment. When I was in an apartment, I tried monitors and desktop speakers and they did not come close to the sound quality and freedom I now have with the RAAL SR1a. I use them late at night in a house.

People are comparing the sound out of these to mega expensive setups. My SR1a setup is almost as good as my floor stander setup. No joking on the quality of these phones. They are not like headphones.

You need some warm electronics to make them shine. You can also use their dedicated amp which is also very good and I have demoed for a few weeks. It has only 2 inputs though, so I use a 2 channel setup for the SR1a that supports multiple sources.

- CODA 07x preamp
- AudioMirror Tubadour III SE tube DAC
- Gustard X26 Pro ESS DAC
- Tuner
- SACD player
- D-Sonic amp (though I have tried many others, KRELL, CODA, Benchmark)

Listen as loud as you want with a 2 channel sound presentation. You also have the added benefit of removing the biggest obstacle to good sound, the room.

I heard Stereophile will be reviewing the SR1a and the dedicated amp in an issue soon.
Invite the new neighbors to a movie night? (Make absolutely sure the beloved speakers are playing at a 'reserved' level, attached to the vid?)

...well, at least the ones' closest to your new digs? ;)

Survey their musical tastes?

Outright bribery? *L*
Yeah, good advice here ... if you love them that much, I'd figure out a way to keep them.

Darko, gave overall good review of Revel but said a little light on bass so you'd probably need a sub ... then you'd be managing the same issue!
