I still hope to come up with a pair of 3.3, someday. but now they are 20+ years old..., so the next question will be how to rebuild/restore/repair if needed. 😉

Since we've seen a few of your 2-channel configurations..., I'm curious to ask, @Daddyjt Mark, what is driving your Atmos (I'm sure you posted it before - but I forget). What kind of carver amplification is driving your atmos setup? I know @loner_t used to swear by the Marantz 8805 (IIRC) as a preferred dolby atmos head unit. What do you use for your processor/preamp system? I'm limited to 7.1 at the moment - but planning a future move a few years from now - dolby atmos likely coming into play. Thanks for the post, and keeping us on this leading edge of audio reproduction and experience in this thread.

Welcome to the Carver Site!! Very nice group of Carver equipment. Looking forward to hearing about the repair on the CT units. Much talk on the site here about the CT-6 and its power button, either broken or missing and the possibility of 3D printing replacements if one had an original one to scan. I have kind of felt that maybe the power button on the CT-17 might be the same as the CT-6's. The CT-7 has a rocker type which looks to possibly be a better application for on/off duty if one possibly wanted to convert the CT-6/CT-17 to rocker style switch. I don't have anyone of the three CT's mentioned here so its easier said than done for a conversion. These are just thoughts but...... Again Welcome!!

Good morning fellow Carver fans. I have been a Carver owner since the mid 80's when i purchased my first Carver gear, a C-2 pre-amp and a M1.5t amp during my college years. I had them put away for close to 20 years and within the past 2-3 years have started to re-assemble a listening room as the kids have all left the house and i can claim use of the bonus room now. I have had the M1.5t fully service from Nelion, and have acquired quite a bit of other pieces over the past year. I now own 3 M1.5t's, 4 TFM6'c, AV405 C-1, C-2, CT-7, Ct-17, CT26V TX-2, TX-12, and a Sunfire Ultimate Receiver. Some of this gear needs some attention and some work great. I have replaced all the caps on two of the tfm-6c's and will be doing the other two soon. I am new to repair work, but i am not afraid to try, and I enjoy the learning experience. I have downloaded the service manuals for most of the pieces I have and have referenced them for the repairs i have done so far. I want to thank each of you for the support you have given me to this point, and welcome your input. I am currently tinkering with the CT-7 ass the power switch intermittently does not seem to work, and i currently have the CT-17 as the display is quite dim. the CT-17 is a nightmare to disassemble, but again, i don't mind the challenge or learning experience. i have been reading about the typical issues with these units display problems and will continue to chase this down. Have a great day, and crank it up to 11!

Welcome to the site!!!

I have a CT17 I picked up off eBay over a year ago as a parts not working unit so this will be an interesting topic. I've never plugged it in or tried to fire it up and I don't have a remote so let the fun begin.
