It does show one for sale in Michigan for $249. We're all politicians here. We LOVE spending other peoples money. I hope that helps.

  3. I've never heard any of the Kappa series speakers, and I like the RS IIIa's, just not enough to keep them any longer. The NHT 3.3s are a level up (or two), and the Martin Logans are just perfect for my old ears.
  4. We both working in a factory, and they required us to start wearing earplugs in the mid/late 80's. I was wearing them anyway, but he worked the weekend shift. No one was there to enforce it except on his Friday shift.
  5. I've listed them a couple of times at $500 or best offer. I had one seller that "had to have them" at my asking price. I offered to deliver them, and we agreed to a date the following week. I never heard from him again, and I sent 3 emails with my phone number. I never got a reply. This recent buyer and I chatted on the phone for over an hour. He's a vintage gear collector, and he owns a few pieces of Carver gear. He said he can't find anyone to work on his Carver gear as no one understands it. I told him about @Nahash5150 , Nelion Audio, and I invited him to thecarversite.com. He and his wife are vacationing in Mexico this week, and he said he'd call when they get back. I'll call him in case he forgets. The agreed deal is I'll deliver them to him for $500, and he insisted on taking me to lunch or dinner at Half Sauced. Who am I to refuse the best BBQ in Missouri? I don't have any dislikes about the Infinity's, and I love their appearance. The scalloped edges, tall, thin, gorgeous in my opinion. They're a very good speaker with very good highs, mids and bass, but I have a couple of sets of outstanding speakers. I just really have no need for the Infinity's, and they take up quite a bit of space. One friend of mine likes them better than my Martin Logans. I tell him he's been riding Harley's and shooting guns without ear protection for far too long. He has a Pioneer Spec I or II setup with Pioneer HPM 150 speakers that he plays at almost full volume in a room with solid wood walls and no treatments. It's very bright in there, but he loves it, and that's all that matters even if no one else does.
  6. Oops, sorry about the confusion. As far as sales go, who knows what will happen until cash is in hand. I would like to replace the NHT 3.3s with ESL 9's or ESL X's.

  8. Yes, thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

  10. Well, I think I've sold my Infinity RS IIIa speakers. I've had them listed on craigslist and Audiogon for about 3 months. There was a guy in KS that had to have them, and then he ghosted me. I'm supposed to meet up with another gentleman when he returns from vacation. I hope the sale goes through, because I can deliver them to Osage Beach MO. That gives me an excuse to eat at my favorite BBQ joint in MO, Half Sauced BBQ. https://halfsauced.com/ Now, as much as I like my NHT 3.3s, I'm considering parting ways with them. I don't know how serious I am though. They're the main fronts in my HT setup, and if I do sell them, I want t replace them with some Martin Logan ESL's that are at least one bump up from the ones in my 2.1 channel system, and those won't be cheap. I wouldn't let the NHT's go cheap either. Like I said, I like the NHTs very much, I just like the Martin Logan ESL sound more.

  12. I It's a link to another thread. If you click or tap on the dark area where it says "Custom surface mount "C9" for sale" it should take you to the thread that AndrewJohn referred to.
  13. My daily dose. The Rippingtons, 20th Anniversary (album) Listen up kids, this track is six four, not six seven.
  14. Hello oldenit and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! I don't recall reading about DIY Sonic Hologram circuits, but I do recall someone, maybe @Nahash5150 offering Gundry PCBs for sale. For my lack of knowledge of the circuits, I think the Gundry mod is modified Sonic Hologram circuit. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the circuits and the mod will chime in. I hope that helps.
