Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?

courant, I l hear you, live in a condo as well .
My solution was to find a unit with a outside wall onto a 8 feet wide stairwell, and a 20 foot bedroom on the other side of my living room.
Floor is 3 feet of concrete as it is roof of underground parking. Haven’t heard anything from ceiling in 3 years so whatever it is OK.
No sweat to listen at normal volume at 3 AM . Took me over a year to find it .
.Oh, also put thick cork mat over inside of door .

Move out of the apartment and buy a house gives a lot more room,
might even be able too have 2 systems like me.

Most of US is in a bubble on housing , an 100 grand a year job won't get you a house  in many places . Most houses in Twin Cities sell for over listed price, often Far over , and are financed by  the Bank of Mom & Dad .

Move out of any apartment.

Hi Guys,

I know the ideal situation is to move to the wilderness and build your own home with a separate home theater and music room, and most of the reviews in Stereophile seem to pretend that is the only consumer of good audio gear.

The purpose of this thread however is to explore gear that is much more friendly to modest spaces and systems. Perhaps not just in modest homes/apartments but also offices.

Let's try to keep the focus on good gear for smaller spaces and budgets please.

Best,


Erik
