Can anyone provide pics/info on wiring of a pair of Original Amazing speakers? Recently purchased set appear to have been worked on by an amateur, i.e. taped splices, bad solder joints, flipped ribbons and terminal cups, etc. All eight 100 W, 4 ohm Taiwan drivers and 4 ribbons emit sound, albeit very little even with amp near clipping. Using all Carver head gear including a M-4.0t amp. This source setup blows me out of the room with a homebuilt pair of bass reflex using a Dayton 12" woofer (4 ohm), crossover, mids and tweets from Parts Express. Needless to say I am underwhelmed and not amazed by the Carver speakers. Any help with factory configuration, suggestions for bi or tri amping such as 2 M4.0t for woofers, 2 or 1 M-400 for ribbons, of course with additional crossovers and wiring from terminals to drivers. Purchased at reasonable price, could replace all crossovers and use 3" coil 450W RMS woofers for decent upgrade cost. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I have a budget to be able to make some updates to my carver m1.0t, which would recommend me at present, I want to know about the experiences of those who had the opportunity to do so and make the right decision well, if they could give me the diagrams it would be

Welcome to the site Carlos. At a minimum you should replace the electrolytic capacitors. There are no exact replacement for the large high rail capacitors. You will need an adaptor to fit a replacement capacitor. Greg at Nelion Audio has these adaptors. You can contact him for the specifics. You can also PM here @Nahash5150. There are some Service Bulletins that should be accomplished. They are outlined in the service manual avail here on the site. There is also the mkII modification. There are several post here that discuss this popular mod. Greg can do that mod for you.
