Just signed up, was a Carver owner in the mid-80’s. Had a m1.0, C1, and TX11. Had kids and sold it all, you know for food and mortgage... anyhow, back in the game for the past couple years. Built a home theater with 2 carver amps m0.5t and a AV-405 with a emotiva UMC-200 pre-amp. (I wanted HDMI switching). Polk LSI15’s for the mains and matching center channel. I use Mirage nanosats for the surrounds and rears. Carver sub is also in the mix. Coupled that to a 129” projector screen. Movies are great and plenty of power on tap. I'm building a 2ch system with a C1 preamp and a m-200t amp driving a set of magnepan MMG’s that we’re given to me. The C1 has the Billd mod and the M200t has been rebuilt. Starting out with fresh components. I do have an issue with the m200t it randomly overloads on the right channel then goes very low volume and extremely fizzy.... was thinking it was the magi’s low impedance but hooked up a set of 8ohm Boston Acoustics with the same result... probably have to send it out for service but any suggestions would be appreciated pat

Long time lurker from on and out of the hospital. Now this is sort of a bucket lolist item but the bucket is not to have regret with things I that I can do now. I don't know about others but when you are with most women you have a living room. When not one has a man-cave. Which right now I am trying to settle in one which involves a whole face lift and trying to put items in places that work for me so no pix yet as it is a work in progress. I started getting back to listening a couple of years ago. At the time I had m200t's for me. Then I felt some electricity on one of them and moved to the bedroom Both need refurb any of course I needed something quickly. So a pair of TCM-15CB's. As I have walked away from 3 times already I figured that would be as far as I would go. Speakers were Definitive 10 a's. I would double check but too tired to go look. As my interest was rekindled I picked up a pair of Martin Logan esl's. Some might noticed that I went for a m1.0 MkII's. This was one piece of gear I really wanted to listen to since Stereophile threw the flag in after accepting the Carver Challenge. Now paired with Martin Logan the thrill has been so enjoyable. This is a semi quick intro as some gear not mentioned but will fill in some blanks next time. One last side note. If a woman has trouble with 5 feet of speaker shes not for me. I don't need a "Living Room" anymore and decided to always have a man-cave. I've wasted too much and want to enjoy the rest of this ride. I did notice others living in Florida. I'm in the West Palm Beach area maybe some sort of meeting/gathering if others are interested.
