Hi
Maybe you should rent the apartment over you? Nice place for sub horns,
with opening in the ceiling like our japanese friends do 
I am planning subhorns with floor-to-ceiling mouths in each corner of the front wall of my listening room, with the hornmouths fireing into the corners, just for the lowest frequencies, say under 50-60Hz. In that way I hope to reproduce "some" of the low frequency space normally found in the concert hall.
We will see how that turns out.
I have had some not-so-good experience with basshorn toward the ceiling,
feeiling that I missed some of the physical "weight" of the bass that way.
That might have something to do with how I personally "place" different frequencies in my brain. I don't know.
I have allways prefered to have the music reproduced the way I sense it is in the concert hall, with a lot of "height" and vertical space, but I tend to have the midrange horn over the treble horn with disturbes some of my music listening friends, who tend to think that everything sounds to big. Since an orchestra is much bigger than my listening room I don't see it that way
cheers
