Powerchord

I'm following this topic. I have a set of AL-III's and am powering them with two Silver 7 Mono blocks. I have placed them in every which way I can and it doesn't seem to change all that much. I have added a Sub-One powered woofer for a little rumble on the low end. My listening room is quite large so I have lots of options. One thing I don't understand is that the AL's were designed to send signal out the rear of the ribbon. I'm hearing that you should treat the back walls and sides to muffle that signal. In my mind, that's going against Bob's original design. I might add that the sound quality is very good. But am I missing something to make it better? ~ Terry

Lot's of good stuff by this Pacific Northwest power-trio. Check out their release "Shadow Lands". Tony Reed (Vocals, Lead Guitar) does some pretty good solo Country and Western.

Thanks AndrewJohn!

Thanks for the addition into the group. My first pieces of Carver equipment came by way of accident. I worked in Woodenville, Washington making custom furniture for a shop called "Regency Oak". Next door was Bob Carver's building. We traded a custom made cabinet to Bob and received a M-0.5 Amplifier and a CT-7 Tuner. I still have both pieces today. About two years ago, I decided to get an audio room together and met Greg and Jenny. So far I've added a pair of AL-III Oak trimmed speakers, a C-11 Preamp with the BillD mod, and two black faced M-500t MKII Amps. Right after getting these items my audio room (in the basement) flooded but I managed to save all the gear. The room has been rebuilt now and I can't thank Greg and Jenny enough for helping me along with this hobby. Electronics are "some kind of sorcery" to me so will be asking a lot of questions. The one thing we will all have in common is a love and appreciation of music. Thanks again, Terry
