System updates. All 3 apartment systems have been getting some love lately.
First off, grabbed a pair of ADC SS-215s from Meggy for a good deal. Got one working in my computer system (my dad gets the other one to mess with). Got that going right now as I type.
My dining room system got an upgrade as I found some EPI Series 3 Model 120s for cheap. I replaced the tweeter in one of them with the help of Huw Powell from Human Speakers. They sound quite nice, especially over the Technics SB-CR55 they are replacing.
The Technics are either going to a friend for his vinyl system or being sold elsewhere. One way or another, they are going
soon.
And finally, the main system got one of the subwoofers of my dreams: a SVS PC12 Plus! I found it on Craigslist for an excellent deal. I had been leaning towards a sub upgrade after selling some stuff anyway, so I jumped on it. Man this thing is a real upgrade! That Klipsch sub was too slow and didn't dig as deep as I wanted, so this does the trick nicely. Maybe overkill for this small apartment power-wise (even the Klipsch was and it had less than half the power), but it was the upgrade I wanted.
I also added bass traps in the corners about a week ago. That really took care of the standing bass there.
The Nakamichi PA-5 is going home in a couple days pending repairs. That'll likely be more of a long term project since I used a fair amount of funds on the sub (I've got more stuff on the selling block so that should cover it; just gotta move em). I decided upgrading the sub took priority over the amp fix since the I'll be happy with the Toshiba amp for a while anyway.
