| Are you sure you're not playing them louder? Bose hifis (especially the sub/sat ones) tend to sound much louder than they really are because they're really having to work to push the sound out.
Your KRKs on the other hand will be able to play louder without working as hard, and hence will actually 'sound' quieter...
+1 for the isolation pads. I'm in student halls, and don't get any complaints about my A7s... |
