If I had windows, that's how loud they would play . I took all the windows out so that they don't interfere with my listening. And all the drywall is 5/8" in 12' long sheets, glued and screwed.

Window vibration problem is over. It took way too much time (laziness), but some time ago I had "improved" the problem a bit by simply using packing tape to "stabalize" the small window square that caused the most problems. I had also identified the problematic frequency (140hz) using the "bass traps tracks".
It is only today that I finally got off my butt to play a looped version of the offending track while I poke at the window and used some more tapes. GONE! No more vibration causing cellos to something sound as if played from within a tin can.
Back to music as my neighboors are gone for 4 days!!!

My SVS has actually broken my house too. Two windows, anyway.
I live in an old house with old windows; double-hung with weights in the walls connected with ropes. My SVS has caused two of these ropes to snap. The windows are still usable, so that's a good thing. But I still find it amusing that my system has, literally, broken my house.

I guess we'll have to start asking for HT-complience certifications from realsters!

Well! Apparently, I have to deal with my windows differently for summer and winter. The window problem has reappeared. After a few unsuccesful attempt, it turns out that, for "winter" I have to lock back the window.
So I guess when we change time, it will also be time to unlock the windows for summer!

Just change the switch on your window so it vibrates 'in phase.'
OK Sorry, I need either sleep or coffee.
