LOL Yeah. My neighbors are close too, but no shared walls (thank God) I USED to have a pair of JBL Studio 5's hooked to my Sony receiver coming from my SB card. That was a bit overkill. LOL These and the Altec sub are more than enough. Although, I like using my earbuds off of my SteelSeries keyboard's headphone jack(only when the wife is here tho) hehe. When she's not, the boy and me game with the spkrs on.
