I'd only do that deal if it was my best friend......can't imagine giving up a TFM if I had one.

Welcome!

Bought my mom a pair of 2.5s a couple yrs ago. Sound very nice with a Pioneer receiver I had. Of course around Christmas she was also in need of a turntable. Off went my other Pioneer.

Pixies Doolittle

Dennis has been great. My C-1 is still trucking along. Been awhile since I've been on the site. Good to see good deeds still going on here.

Welcome John. More Carver with pics please.

Welcome! When I still had my Bose 901s I drove them with a M1.0t. It got real loud in a hurry! Good choice on amps.

Sad. I spent the early 90s listening to Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. Recently started listening to Soundgarden again. Amazing vocalist. My other favorite is STP. Lucky for me my neighbors like to hear it too.

VERY DIFFERENT! Not sure if Steve is ready for that trip.... Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

Try Bitches Brew as well. Really different from Kind of Blue.

Probably too far apart. Start at 4ft apart and slowly like in 1in increments move them apart. The image should pop into the center. I use one of the Bob Seger Greatest Hits to center the soundstage. His voice ends up directly in the center. Other CDs tend to have a left or right bias so I set with that one. Need some space behind them. I have 3 to 4 ft with my RS-1s. Others can chime in on the amps you are using. I use Thresholds on mine. Still need to give them some volume to get the sound right. Good luck

This is basically the idea I used. Find speakers you love and intend to keep. Then do whatever you want or need to do to keep em. I've already picked up a few extra drivers for the ARs.

Solen caps in my AR-90s and Infinities. I don't intend to sell or ever have to do them again....in my lifetime.

Depending on the model you were thinking of you may be better off saving for an Audio Research. Probably a PV-10A

Yeah really want to try a CJ PV tube pre. Just gonna have to save to get one.
