Again, thanks to everyone for being so helpful and kind. I just ordered the circuits and concepts 4 cap upgrade. It looks like a good way to get my feet wet into electronics again. i'll try in the next few days to get some pics on here. the reson I went with the bose and carver was that I had a very nice Yamaha system driving kef speakers. I thought it sounded great. Bose turned up at my base in england showing off their new acustimas speakers. Not impressed. So they hooked up their 901s turned out the lights and played strawberry fields. It brought tears to my eyes. I didn't feel like the Beatles were in front of me on stage playing, I felt like I was standing in the middle of the stage with the boys playing all around me. Mind you, I was 20 feet from the speakers. Talk about unbelievable. when the song was over, the lights turned back on. I wiped the tears from my eyes and asked how much. While I was writing the check I asked what they were running the speakers with? They pulled a little panel off the wall, and there they were. A carver c-1 and a m-1.5t they said all bose had ever run for demos was those 2 pieces. After the 901s were loaded in my car I went AAFES and bought my Carver. KEF is gone Yamaha gone. sorry to bore you to death, but that's my story

Thanks for all the feedback, i'll post some picks when it's all done and running and when my wife figures out how to. ( i'm a computer moron I don't know how ) even though this system was in it's original boxes, it was in a very hot attic ( I know, my bad ) it still looks brand new except for a little discoloration on a little spot on the C-1. is there anyone who sells a cap kit or an upgrade kit, or would I have to buy these individually? Thanks for not dogging me on my 901s I know a lot of people think there overrated. I love them.

Hi all, new here. I have the c-1, m-1.5t and the dtl-100 driving boss 901 VI that I bought back in 1987. still have never heard a better sounding system until 15 years ago when the power switch blew on the c-1. long story short. I just got all my equipment out of the attic to put in my listening room I custom built in my basement sized and shaped for the 901s, replaced the Alps tv-3 switch hooked it all up. Turned it on and SMASH!!! It sounded like a trainwreck. I have a new foam kit coming for the 18 drivers now. Since my system is down again for now. Should I recap everything including the active EQ or just the c-1? any help would be great
