Fair point. Just wondered about a general vibe from people in flats with them. No point getting one if you have to make them so low as to be pointless.

I have been living in a number of flats in the past two decades, which have been really quite different in regards to how much of an issue noise / music was. Both because of the buildings were different and because of the neighbours were different.
Regarding bass it really depends a lot on the thickness of the walls / whether it's brick and mortar or drywall etc. (more mass absorbs more bass : )
At the moment I live somewhere with a lot of drywall, and also wooden floors, this is basically the worst combinaton.
Isolating your speakers (subwoofer in your case) does help a lot though!I agree with timmah that a soundbar will probably be a nice upgrade for you already.

Yeah, so the soundbar speakers are small so their natural frequency is gonna be pretty high, so you just need a sub to fill that gap in the audible frequency.
Unless of course the soundbar has DSP and goes down to 40hz then I wouldn't worry about it.
Also if you isolate the sub you won't use the floor as a baffle extension or your neighbours ceiling too much.
Also the little DALI speakers can be mounted on the wall if you'd prefer that, but start from about 65hz (fine for most things)

Really depends on the flat / how thick the walls are, and on how much your neighbours appreciate peace and quiet I'd say 🙂
