So, on a prevention basis, is moving an option?!

Victorian basement, no sound insulation regs in those days. No one has
complained yet... Moving not an option, next move will be the ubiquitous
stone walled, detached cottage though. No more shared housing!


Looking at these.... anyone heard these?

I've heard the non-active version, and they sounded fine, with plenty
of bass for the size. Each speaker will need access to a mains plug I
would have thought, and the controls don't look too accessible.

I'd go for a second hand ebay integrated amp (NAD, Rotel, Mission,
Pioneer) and some named (Tannoy, Mission, NAD) bookshelf speakers -
cheaper, more versatile, and possibly a better sound.



Cheers Rob, thanks for the tips. There are power sockets both sides. Will
take a look at some of the names you mention too. I was drooling over the
Neutron IV's from AVI with an amp pack on the back. Seemed just about
perfect till i looked at the price...
