Attached a sketch for visualisation The only thing with that is twofold: that kind of speakers do not carry bass frequencies. The basses are generally carried by a quite heavy and large subwoofer that sits on the floor. The other aspect is that for small speakers there are out there on the market 'cushions' that sits on top of a speaker stand that would absorb any lows, saving any trouble playing with sand. I do not use any for the HS5 speakers since there's not much bass coming out of them anyways, most bass comes out of the HS8s subwoofer. So the problem would rather be with the subwoofer, for the people living below. For me, the audio workplace is in the basement (making underground music after all) and it's safe to assume that the neighbours below are roughly at a distance close to the diameter of the Earth. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
