I appreciate the warm welcome from each of you. This forum will be fun. I hope to get to know more of you and expand my exposure to Carver fandom. My name denotes my allegiance to The Ohio State Buckeyes, but "oldtexasdog," I live in Austin, Texas. Are you in TX?
Turbo, nice GTO! I'm a musclecar fan as well and still have my "71 Cutlass from HS.
If any of you are also in the Carver facebook group, you've already seen a short video clip of my 2ch rig playing Muse's "Maddness."
Dennis47,the speakers in my 2ch system are ADS 910's. I bought them about a month ago. The M500t Mk2 I've not had a week yet. I also haven't had the house to myself yet to stretch its legs. A critical listening sesion comparing the two is still forthcoming. Wattage wise, there isn't much difference as the 910's are 4 Ohm speakers. The stock M500t hits 450w/ch vs. 420w/ch for the Mk2. But I can attest the stock amp hit a peak of 108Db's before running out of gas and my fear of pushing the speakers too hard. They are 40yo speakers afterall.
Newbie question, it seems there is a file size limit when posting pics to the site. Is that a function of the capacity or my novice status?
