I have to figure out how to compress the pics small enough to upload so it may or may not ever happen lol. I can only post a couple random o es that are small enough to fit.

Nice. Im off to post some pics!

We used to have 3 boy dogs until recently. 2 have crossed the rainbow bridge. Pepper was a 6 pound miniature poodle who live a full and happy life until the ripe age of 19 and his old pal Stewie was my black pug and my bestie buddy. He lived until he was 18, he went the year before Pepper and now we are down to our Papillon Benny who is 14 now. We called them the 3 amigos they were inseperable. We thought he would grieve for the other 2 but he had one for a year and then he was the only dog and he really took to being the only boy and he has spent the last year or so getting all the attention and spoiled rotten. He loves being the only dog and that makes us happy that he is happy. Other than having exactly zero teeth and being on soft food only, you cant tell he is 14 by looking at him or by the way he gets around, still very spry.

If I had the space I would make the 3.3 my main 2 channel system mains but I do not. I am a big fan of the NHT sound and the 2.9s do great in my 7.1.2 system. I am running them full range, center as well, and they are stupendous for surround work at least to me that is. YMMV of course. I was lucky enough to find all of the NHT speakers in one large lot and bought them all from the original owner who was downsizing into assisted living and he had all NHT everything even the sub amps for the 3.3. I think they are SA2 not the 3 but still super nice amps. I no longer use those due to the Hsu and the 2.9 or 3.3 need no help in bass thats for sure. I like the speed of the 10 over the 3.3 is 12" in my room the deep bass is handled by the tn1s quite nicely so the 2.9s just cruise right along. I have some NHT 1.1 and 2 sets of Super Zeros and one set of c3s still to incorporate when I use the rest of the lx505 channels. Its nice to have so many same voiced matched speakers for a killer cohesive sounding Atmos setup which is what I am working on now. Trying to find a way for the rear heights to look good in a open room with odd measurements and a 15 vaulted ceiling isn't easy. It has to be right or im not going to do it I will stick with the 7 speakers and 2 subs. Sounds pretty good to me like it is so no hurry.

Thank you for the welcome and I am looking forward to sharing pics of my systems. I also have a very nice set of the 3.3 but I prefer the 2.9s in my room and the depth of the 3.3 wont work where I need them to so I will leave them in storage until I need them again. I am a NHT fan for sure but I also really enjoy my second hand set of Krix Lyrix floorstanders with the tfm42 behind them they sound really nice too. I am re foaming some DQ-10s right now and just finished recap of a set of B&W602 bookshelfs. I am going to try them with the Cinema Grand next when they are ready just to see how they sound with power behind them. Looking forward to sharing pics with everyone.

Hello my name is Tom and I am a longtime Carver fan like all of us. My current Carvers in use are a very nice m1.5t and for my surround system I am using the 17" wide Arcitects Choice Cinema Grand Signature edition. It has the upgraded torodial power supply and it is marvelous. I currently have this as my two channel system: A Sansui 5500 pre outted to the 1.5t into a restored pair of Large Advents with the masonite woofers and fried egg tweeters. I also will run a set of stacked Advents every now and then to show them off to friends. My living room system is a Pioneer lx505 with all pre outs to the front 5 into the cinema grand which I bi wire a set of NHT 2.9 voltage source for the woofers and current source for the tops and use a NHT Classic 3C center and 2 NHT C1s for rear surrounds and bedlayer speakers and the front heights are NHT-SB1 powered by a B&K stereo 120 and I have 2 Hsu VTF-TN1 subwoofers. I am quite happy with it and I do not use any Dirac or room correction. I like it better flat and no eq or room correction applied. It sounds monstrous and delicate. No complaints. I am sending the 1.5t and my other tfm42 in to Nelion this coming February and having them both completely redone and upgraded. Anyway, hello everyone.
