So i live in a 1 bedroom condo in downtown and ive been itching to use my 5.1 system instead of the sound bar and woofer that came with the purchase of my TV. The only reason i havent done so is because im worried about possible neighbor complaints with loud sounds and vibration. Im no expert in surround sound calibration so ive always gone the same route of just wiring everything then making a few volume adjustments on each speaker and subwoofer and off it goes. Normally if i really wanted to feel the surround sound id have to pump up the volume higher but of course that isnt an option anymore. Is there any way you can still get the surround sound feel of a 5.1 without having to crank up the volume as loud as how movie theaters usually have it?


For those wondering what my system is:

Martin Logan motion 4 front and rear speakers
Martin Logan motino 8 center speaker
Martin Logan Dynamo 1000 subwoofer
Pioneer VSX 520 receiver

Any sound experts here please chime in on your opinions.
