4-year-old VSA VR-7s have been upgraded in the past 6 months to "Mk 2" status, meaning new bypass caps on the crossovers, totally new Delphi internal wiring and new high-performance mid-ranges. The urge for new speakers (to match my new VAC Statement 450 monos)has come and gone, as what I have got a whole lot better. Also, now up to Velo DD-15+.

Recently added an office system driven by SET Melody 845. Using Angel City Audio's Trinity speakers with upgraded crossovers. Imaging is just ridiculous - approaching and exceeding "jaw-dropping" at times. Amazing below-the-radar speaker due to minimal advertising. Betters speakers 5x its price, which is very reasonable.

My first Woofers were a pair of 18" Eminence replacement type drivers. The first thing I did was mount them free-air in the trunk of my 1986 0lds Cutlass Supreme 2Dr. I sealed it all up and used a Hi-Fonics Hercules amp to drive them. My god the chaos I inflicted on the poor residents of Suffolk County, L.I. Still I was only 18 and that was the coolest thing I have ever owned up to that point. Aw, I can hear Pink Floyd thumping away like it was yesterday.
