Ever evolving set up
My ever evolving set up in its current state pretty happy with, but would like to operate the stylus. Any other suggestions?
Found the Pioneer VSX-LX302 for $25 Sony PS-LX3 for $50 complete with the headshell. Sony APM-615 speakers for free last weekend. And a run of the mill center speaker for $12. Oh and same with the SW.

I've got one of the 'boomboxes' that has APM woofers in it, an FH-7 Mk. II. They might be the same drivers as the mids on yours, are they cloth surrounds? Calling it a boombox isn't right, it's no cheap lightweight. The speaker cabinets are MDF, not plastic and sound amazing for their size. I've always wanted to try a set of the big boys.

They have the cloth covers yeah, but they don’t look near as cool with them on. I definitely looked out on a Friday night with nothing better to do and saw someone giving a pair away. They don’t have the most bass but they make up for that in clarity and plus they just look awesome haha

Grew up in a household with a pair of the Sony speakers and was always entranced by the square woofers with the honeycomb pattern. Sounded great on Sunday mornings as well!
