Center Speaker from Carver 5.1 Surround Speaker System. http://www.matronics.com/Carver/

There is a gentleman on Ebay that has been advertising Carver Ribbon repair for a while and I was wondering if anyone has any feedback they can share on his work?

Welcome Aboard This site is very different from most other audio sites. I meant that in a good way.

Yes, I am sick, and don't want a Cure. Thx Guys

After staying away from searching for Carver Gear for awhile. I fell victim to a CL find. A pair of Original ALS only 250 miles away from me. Long story short, I just spent my entire weekend driving back and forth to pick up the speakers one by one in my VW CC. These will probably serve duty as rear surrounds in my 4.0 system replacing my Apogee Columns. The Columns will make a move to the bedroom.

NHT Super Zero are worth a audition.

Mine are listed in my signature. They will be placed through out my new home when I move at the end of the month. 11 sets I think.

Looks like I am going through the early stages of OCCD. Flying out today to pick up a CT-7/M-4.0t combo. They will be part of my bedroom system. Considering a pair of Cinema Ribbons and a True Sub as stable mates.

Here are a few crappy iPhone photos of the TX-11 the previously mentioned amps that were sold on Ebay and the Scintillas they were used on.

If you plan to actively bi-amp the originals, you have to be mindful of the passive crossover's built-in notch filters (to ameliorate the cavity resonance of the planar transducers). BillD and Reese went down that road with Platinums: http://thecarversite.com/yetanotherforum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=12933#post12933 Yes, and this site is a treasure trove of information. I am grateful to those that have shared all of there experiences. This is one of the great things about the on board DSP on the amps. Great flexibility with slopes filters Q and on and on. All settings can be saved as file to compare and tweak.

Thanks 2 all. The ALS are 800 miles away at my daughters place in Tampa. I flew down last week to make the purchase and the buyer delivered them to her place. I will drive back down later next month to pick them up. From previous active amplification of the Apogee Scintilla. I have found a amp the can drive .3 ohm ribbons without shutdown. This will more than likely be a long project as I plan to run them in full active mode.
