Tone control. Sometimes that harsh sound is in the source and you have to adjust. I'm a big Santana fan and sometimes the guitar work just gets to high - so I chill it out with about 3db less than flat.

JT - thanks for the start. I'll look into 3M and Corning.

Okay! A 300 hundred watt power amp and a pair of cornerhorns set-up in a townhouse does place a certain amount responsible noisemaking on the owner. Since I make a mortgage payment and go to sleep early just let 'em try and evict me. The horns stay and I'm looking at a bigger power amp. (Surround sound you know...) ... at 20% effort the guy three doors over knows about Hornsby and his "Noisemakers". The question isn't about music traveling next door. The real issue is how to keep some of that bass in my livingroom. I feel like I'm missing out on some of the music recorded in the source. I'm getting good bass response at low amplification levels down to about 30hz. Anyone know of an acoutic sub-flooring system that will help my next doors hear a little less and me a little more? Should I fill my crawl space up with concrete and rebar?
