Currently planned upgrades are to go in a new direction with the speaker system. Currently looking at Paradigm Signature and Studio v.5 series and JL Audio f113 as a subwoofer replacement.
Since we have a new thread, I think I'll take this as a chance to *** out my pathetic gaming/living room setup. Check my sig for the link to my pics.And lets keep this thread a little cleaner condition than the last one was left off in.

I would assume you picked the 113 over something like the less expensive ED A7-900 due to cabinet size ? You are sure to have a huge grin when you fire that 113 up , be sure to remove any hanging pictures from the walls ( friend of mine learned that one the hard way ... BOOOOM ... CRASH ... ) . Oh and the built in CAL works really well , should be able to obtain a near perfect calibration in no time . The 113 with the Paradigms is going to KICK A$$ ( hope you get your room tuned as well , I'm sure we all agree that gear deserves it ) !-DGP

BTW - I paid less for the 113 than the ED A7-900 lists for.....don't know it's street value though. Yes, the 113 is new/factory sealed. I am pretty excited to hear what it sounds like in my room....even more excited to see what two of them sound like. I was sold on the 113 when I read a thread on martinloganowners.com forum about the Descent v. 113. From what everyone said, there was no contest. Given how good the Descent is...that's saying something!
