soufle 0 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I have desired an audio system with Carver gear since approx. 1990. Recently, my brother in-law asked if we would like to buy his Carver CT-28v and AV-405. I snapped them up! The brother in-law is a great guy, it was a very good price. I have them hooked up to a pair of old Klipsch KG 4's. I look forward to revisiting my audio enthusiast days of past with the current benefit of actually being able to afford some newer gear. I look forward to participating here on the forums as well. Additional speakers are next on my list. I was thinking some KEF 300B bookshelf sized speakers and a matching center speaker. Certainly open to suggestions here! I found this site while attempting to locate a manual for the CT-28v preamp, which has been an unsuccessful search to this point. I see there are possibly other parts of this site, for which I don't have access that may hold some hope (e.g. denied access to the database). With that short self intro … a new "howdy all".
BarryG 2,853 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Welcome to TheCarverSite! This is a great place to share our common interests in audio gear! There is a lot of info to learn just by browsing! I been here a while and I am still learning. A lot of helpful technicians if you need it! We love photos! Stick around, kick off your shoes, grab a beer, turn up the volume and enjoy! As always play it loud and enjoy the music! BarryG 1
Nahash5150 10,701 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Welcome to the Carversite! Sorry, it doesn't look like we have the CT-28v manual in our library. All of our manuals are free to download HERE 1
loner_t 2,568 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Additional speakers are next on my list. I was thinking some KEF 300B bookshelf sized speakers and a matching center speaker. Certainly open to suggestions here! See THIS thread. The CF speakers are very highly desirable and excellent. ... and welcome... 1
dcl 3,276 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Welcome, it's nice to hear of your dream materializing. That you get to hear it is better yet! Loner_t pointed to the 2015 Carverfest speaker story, it has been very well received. In KEF have you listened to the LS50? As I recall loner_t has a pair as well the 2015 CF, AKA Sonorous, you might check with him. 2
zumbini 6,147 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Howdy soufle and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you on board. Congrats on your new (to you) Carver gear. Please post system photos! 1

As I recall loner_t has a pair as well the 2015 CF, AKA Sonorous, you might check with him. The LS50s are very nice too (and very neutral). The Sonorous are new, and should bloom after a bit of break-in. The LS50s have about 100-120 hours. You need find an excuse to come this way and hear them, dcl. 1

RPA-1 Man 615 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Welcome soufle. You came to the right place to talk Carver and learn Carver. 1
rhedrick1674 13 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 It took most of us at least 25 yrs to get to where we are today, but it never ends, the search is always for more and better, it's addictive and it's called OCCD.
