Quoted from Calfdemon:Well, our house has no carpet anywhere other than the stairs, so with hard floors throughout the house, everything is loud. The wife has been complaining that ACNC is too loud and I have it set at 1. At 1, it is louder than both SS and WOZ which are right next to it and while others are playing them, they cannot hear anything if a game of ACNC is going on. The firing coils and ball are one thing, but when you have a sound system in a pin like Spooky uses, well, headphones will make a difference for sure.
When no one is home, ACNC goes up in volume, but when others are around, the headphones are a nice touch.
We have our ACNC on 2 and it is the bass that carries through the house. I know where you are coming from. Sounds great though.
