When I first moved in I got a knock on my apartment

Jeez, I wish I had that kind of understanding from my neighbours.....

I've got a lil pair of JPW monitors (don't know whether these are on sale
outside the UK) - which I believe are such good value because they are made
by the prisoners in Plymouth Prison. Only cost me £50.

When I moved in to my current flat.... sorry appartment, I got three quite
viciferous complains in the first two weeks. Funnily enough, one was at
10am on a Thursday morning (Nicolette lp if I remember) and the other two
were both before 9pm. Both complained that the bass was rattling their
living rooms two corridors away.

In the end, reading 'What HiFi' and read that putting your speakers on top
of cushions will absorb wallowing bass in concrete floored buildings. 12
months on, no more complaints. Oh yeah and now I've got a cool pair of
(fake !) dalmation fur speaker stands :)
