I think that you understand what I'm saying. The sounds aren't bass heavy. So, if that is the effect in the next apt, then the higher frequencies are being filtered out.

I have no acoustic treatment per se. I play softly - no louder than normal tv or stereo apt volumes. Outside of my front apt door, the sound is not audible period.

The monitors are Adam p22A's - I don't think that they are hyping the bass, and I'm not boosting the bass in any other way.
