This counts right? I am technically listening to it and a TFM-35's powering the front channels... (just got it earlier this evening... late night testing). Plugging in M-1.0t next But also listening to this... lol!

Got lots of helmets... for real like 10 of them, so I can rotate.

TOTALLY! Birds of a feather flock together? So this is what I was checking out when I got busted: https://www.superfi.co.uk/p-14346-discontinued-acoustic-energy-ae1-classic-speakers-pair.aspx Never experienced them in real life... but unless there's a huge conspiracy out there, every single youtube clip of these being tested sound just absolutely amazing.

I was just scratching (window shopping for B&W's) as your notification came thru... I just got so busted. LOL!

For sure, I can already tell we all share the same passion for this... we're not the types to sit around and just settle... we like to push the edge. Maximum performance. Stock is just so boring. I do have a bit of remorse as I also bought a Klipsch R-12SW on Friday for less than $300. Also got a steal on a taller server rack... (but now it's going to be a tight fit again). I pulled back on the M-1.5t cuz there's time and it does have a very noticeable hum. I'm sure maintenance can take care of it... it's in good physical shape. A lot better than completely DOA. I think I will take a minute to pick some brains. Other than that got the cube for less than $300 shipped... And I got this other random estate sale going for a Marantz MM7025... the bid is at $200 and the thing looks brand new. Not sure what Im going to do with it... most likely re-sell and pass along the savings.

...and oh yes it's bad... I am definitely not in denial. Fully aware about the excessiveness... Because well, all this is actually for a computer. This is for basically gaming. Long story short, got into auto racing a few years ago and decided to build a racing simulator... A lot cheaper to just hit "restart" than losing your car to a fire (true story). Well, the project is ongoing. And uh... I'm fully aware I probably don't need 16+ speakers in a 3 by 5 foot space... and then needing the type power to drive all of it. We get the picture. LOL!

Thanks everyone! Awesome to be here! LOL, I know all too well about the force... we all know about the force and it's ok. Birds of a feather flock together... LOL! BTW, I think the forum just crashed (not the server though)... Just thought I'd say something...

Hi. My name is Jim. So, not sure what or how this happened but... I ended up here after buying my first few Carver amps. Yes, first few tonight. At first, it was the Cube on eBay... thought to myself: "Boy this cube amp looks cool and packs a punch... Yes, please. Sign me up!" Then it was the M200t... "This little thing puts out what? I gotta have one..." On the hook for that... Kinda got lost after that... it all got fuzzy... perhaps it was all the different wattages... Ended the night with a TFM-35, M1.5t, then uh oh... what the hell is this MKII stuff??? Can't say "no" to a M1.0t ... Absolutely yes, gotta have the OPT2 as well.... I think bed, sleep, NOW is probably a good idea... Thanks for listening... I will try to bring some donuts next week and leave something for the coffee jar. LOL!
