I had a similar problem with my M100's, but I suspected the transmission below was due to the nature of them being coupled to the floor. I was hoping that the rubber would decouple the bass from the floor, hence reducing transmissive acoustical energy. The building we're moving to has done much testing and acoustical isolation between apartments and floors. From my [albeit limited] reading of acoustical principles, there are 2 components to sound transmission: air and impact. I didn't realize that the bass energy from a sub was that great thru air as opposed to conduction thru solid surfaces.

Will do! I'll wait until we actually get moved into the apartment before purchasing a sub [groan] - we probably have another 9 months before construction is completed.
