Nice catch Chess on the "Soundproofing". I used that term just to make it more "newbie" friendly, but you are right on the mark. I can't imagine the cost of a fully "soundproof" room. The sound coming outside of my room is *significantly* quieter than inside the room, but you can still hear it of course. Those LFE sounds are very difficult to stop. I am still glad that I spent the time and money to do what I did. For about $1000 more (plus a LOT of elbow grease), it was a huge improvement over anything else I've ever done.
And this is the #1 question when i've had any people over.
Is the room soundproof?
No i tell them, it is sound controlled or sound dampened.
Their next question is inevitably, so can you hear this upstairs?
Again i answer, no, not really. The most you hear upstairs is some bass.
Of all the questions i've had over the years, those are still the first ones i get asked.
You would think people might say oh, nice speakers, where are they from? Or, hey, these are great loungers, what brand are they?
