Apartment Drama

Cerrot...back then In brooklyn you lived in a building that was not new-
construction as did I; plaster and wood walls which helps keep the sound
in. Not great for accoustics, but it can be treated. As a teenager I practiced
drums every day with minimal complaints; but I did it at a resonable hour. I
think neighbors were a lot more tolerant than they are today.

David99... you are located in the worst possible area of your building. You'll
have to make nice with the neighbors if u are to play music in the way in
which u are accustomed. If it was me I would get new spkrs.

Earphones or move. Actually, you can get better sound from good earphones/dedicated amp than speakers anyway.

I would suggest to a couple of others who have responded that behaving at the limits of what is legally permissible will not necessarily be in anyone's best interests over the long term. In this and in most other situations that involve co-existing with others.

+2(Frogman's 4-3 post). You will always catch more flies with honey then vinegar! Whenever you have unhappy people in a confined living area any disturbance will usually be blown out of proportion. My best advice is try to politely reason with this person, if to no avail be the first to contact the property manager regarding the issue. This should give you the advantage(with management)with any future conflicts.

So do you use honey to catch the flies and then kill them with the vinegar?
