Welcome to CS... Kawiphil, I have a "Good" pair of  used Flip Flops..Will trade for C-1  

Doug, after a year of being on the CSite sidelines, we our honored to have you "in the game" so to speak as part of our active forum. You have amassed a wonderful combo of Carver and Polk beauties over the years my friend.  ...& the glass etched Carver/Polk signs add a nice touch.

 

When those Polk's first came out, I used to drool over the magazine ads showing Dr. Polk leaning on them. I think I even taped a few of those ads up on my college dorm room wall.  Are you running everything at once or do you have A/B speaker switches?  I count 7 speakers up front.  Talk about a wall of sound! 

 

Tell us about that day in 1991 when you discovered Carver. Dealer demo? Friend's suggestion?

 

Again, welcome aboard the Carver express--where OCCD runs wild. You'll fit right in. 

 

 

 

 

 Well Jack,  I was just like you drooling over the ads. polk SRS 1.2 and Especially the Carver Silver Seven's. Oh... how I wanted a pair. (still wanting!!) To make a story short...From 1989 to 1991 I worked 16 months in Moscow Remodeling the U.S. Embassy. I was browsing through the AAFES catalog and seen the Carver Audio section. It was worse than porn. I must have looked a thousand times over the months and being I could'nt afford $32.000 at the time, I went with the TFM-42's.I knew the Polk's could handle 1000w. so with a month to go on my contact I ordered them and the other gear had them shipped home...(close to  half price). Got home, Went to purchase the 1.2's auditioned some polk 3.1tl (all they had) ordered some 1.2tl. took the 3.1's until the 1.2's arrived. Took about 3 weeks. Lol (Short version). Been hook ever since. No more surround hooked up. 2 Channel only, Tv runs through CT-17, ( because remote) TFm-45 and the 2.3tl's.. Audio through C-11 (want remote added),Silver 9t's, 1.2tl's. Sorry got long winded, will update when the remodels complete....(Entertainment center)  Thanks  

Welcome and thanks for sharing !!

 

I too love Carver and Polk - My SDA SRS 1.2TL's are awesome and managed to take the place of my ALS III+ - Not an easy feat !!!

 

Enjoy and welcome to the looney bin !!!!
