  1. I noticed a “blueprint” image appeared along with my screen name and sig info, but I did not add the image myself . Did some kind person or moderator add that, or is there an algorithm built-in the does it automatically? Anyway, thanks for adding that! I had a similar image of my 2002 Audi TT Coupe that I used on an Audi forum with the blueprinTT name.
  2. Welcome Hal! I just joined this site on Feb 3 and also have a C-1 and M1.5t in need of a refresh. I’ll keep an eye on how it goes for you while I continue to absorb as much as I can from the wealth of knowledge on this site.
  3. Thanks for the speaker info Daddyjt. I’ll definitely check out NHTs and some of the others in the Speaker Shootout! Back in the day, I compared my shop-built speakers to some Klipsch Heresys, but mine sounded better, since mine were a little bigger with better bass. Very non-scientific comparison, I know.
  4. Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. I think I’ll most likely just settle-in and stay for awhile or several years, and hopefully contribute too, occasionally. -Scott
  5. It’s funny, I think my speakers sound so good to me that I haven’t put much thought into trying out other speakers for a long time. I know there’s a whole new world out there that I’ve been missing out on. Money was always a factor back in the day, but now that I have the M1.5t and C-1, I definitely need to try some other options! I’ve come to the right place.
  6. Yeah, they’ll definitely get loud! I had my current set-up at an 40-50 person outdoor wedding at our place last fall and it was a hit with the younger 20-somethings. We just plugged in the I-pad and IPhone and played through the C-1 Aux RCA with an adapter. May not have been the best quality recorded source, but it served the purpose well I think they appreciated the vintage technology and the 70-90s music too. I look forward to leaning more from people on this forum!
  7. Hello everyone! I just found this forum this week while looking for owner’s and repair manuals for my Carver M1.5t and C-1 preamp. I bought them both off of E-bay back in 2019. The C-1 came in its original box along with original manual, which was inside of a larger shipping box. The M1.5t came loosely packed in a too-big box with a corner of the amp actually sticking out of the box. Everything still works though. I haven’t opened up the cabinets to see if everything is ok on the insides, probably should one of these days. Lol. I was an amateur audiophile back in the high school and college years back in the late 70’s and through the 80’s. I started off playing around with guitar and PA amplifiers and experimenting with my own shop-built speakers. I loved messing around with all of the equipment more than actually learning how to play the guitar. In college I was the Stereo guy who provided the music for a lot of parties. A good friend had a Carver M1.5t and Yamaha preamp that would drive my speakers really well at all of the parties. Each speaker cab had an Electrovoice EVM 15-B woofer, altec horn with a Jensen driver, and two piezo-electric teeters. They were great party speakers and still are now in the new cabinets I rebuilt in 2019. So now, I’ve recreated my college party system again since I got my own M1.5t and C-1. I’m probably going to eventually find or build some more refined speakers one of these days. I’ll list the other equipment I have in the near future, but I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else is collecting and creating around here. Edit- I should have also mentioned my first Carver was an HTR-880 Home Theater Amplifier around 1991 or so powering a Bose Acoustimass II surround sound system that I still use today in the Greatroom.
