Things that live here now: Pair of C12’s
These are “Pape” C12s made in the 80’s from spare AKG parts including original Brass Capsules. They’ve quickly become favorites over here.
Though there are nice modern versions of C12s out there, I tend to be shy about any sort of “remake”. But of course, I can’t really afford the $25k AKG branded originals. These really hit a sweet spot in performance, uniqueness and cost. I also feel a freedom to play around with the internals in a way I wouldn’t with the originals.
