mach-1 19 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Hello all- new to Bob Carver and the smiles that his gear can give! I am retired and got the CT-17 Pre/tuner to use as a bedroom stereo. Starting with an old QSC amp.. powering homebrew monitors. More gear to be added soon. 3
RodH 4,866 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I like it! What are those mid-horns? Welcome aboard!

Blues Pwr 766 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome to the forum, glad you found us. I like the speakers kinda of remind me of Klipsch Decorator Cornwalls, TT is pretty cool too. Enjoy the music and the site...........
dennismiller55 4,815 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome. Great first post with pictures.
CWT50 60 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome to best collection of very smart and giving people on any audio site. If you have any problems or questions, someone here will be able to help you out. You have already sent pictures of your system, so that is taken care of. Watch out for OCCD, it will get you. Again welcome, Wayne 1
UncleMeat 1,173 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 WOAH! Those are some mighty 'bookshelf' speakers! Nice setup! May I make a suggestion? You might want to turn the speakers so they are pointing further toward the focal point at your listening spot to get more of that magical holography soundstage the CT-17 will provide. You will be 'immersed' if you get them set correctly (unless they are already). Welcome aboard! 1

Again welcome, Wayne That was the bedroom nearfield system. This is the living room front setup. The madness started early here.
B-Man 4,781 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Come on - you can't dangle a juicy carrot in front of us like that without details... Spill the beans - inquiring minds want to know !!! Besides, I want to see if you get a chance to detail the parts before Phil sees this and we get an encyclopedia article on your gear !!! 2

To further the madness I made these as rear surrounds for the main rig. EV powered Belle clones.
BluesMan57 1,411 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome to the forum mach-1. Glad to have you sir................
fill35U 1,846 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome to theCarversite, Mach! Thanks for the pics. Wow, it looks like you could hold a rock concert in your bedroom! That Powerlight probably lives up to its name... What kind of music do you listen to?
Retriever 1,128 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome Go big or Go home I guess!! Love the pics! Admire the setup! Something special about DIY speakers!! Regards James
dcl 3,276 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 A very cool introduction, looking forward to stories behind the gear. Welcome!
BillWojo 542 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Love the bedroom setup. Guess you don't fall asleep with those speakers rocking. Cool setup and welcome to the forum. BillWojo
CWT50 60 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 How does the Thorens TT , Rabco arm work? Always been interested in that arm. Thanks, Wayne
Gene C 1,748 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome to the forum Chris! I still fancy the CT-17 myself, great choice on a pre.
UncleMeat 1,173 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Now that's what I call: 5.1 Surround!!
UncleMeat 1,173 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 How does the Thorens TT , Rabco arm work? Always been interested in that arm. Ya, me too, I'm considering getting one currently. I thought these arms only came on the HK TT's; but HK was just supplied them by Rabco?
RodH 4,866 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 An Ortofon MC-20 with a CT-17? Are you using a SUT?
