Jaws 15 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hey All, Just a quick hello to everyone. Thanks for accepting my membership. I look forward to interacting with the community. My first question is: can someone please help me to determine which model of Carver Awesome speakers I have? If so, what do you need from me to do so? I've been trying for two days to find a picture or description of the different models but no luck. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Jaws 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk1Bum 9,860 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hello Jaws, and welcome to thecarversite.com. We're glad you're hear. There is a lot of information here, much technical know how, and a pretty good bunch of folks that are happy to help. Do your Awesome's have 3 woofers or 4 (per speaker) ? What is the length of the ribbons in your Awesome's? Do your Awesome's have 2 input terminals per speaker or 4 terminals per speaker? Once you get to Novice status, please consider uploading some pics of your gear in the Members Systems area. We all like pics of all kinds of audio gear. In the meantime, kick your shoes off, turn up the music, and welcome aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaws 15 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi Sk1Bum, Thanks for the quick reply! My Awesomes have 3 woofers per, one set of input connectors and roughly a 48" ribbon. And they're black. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk1Bum 9,860 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My best guess is they are Silvers. Others may have a better idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk1Bum 9,860 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Now that I think about it a bit more, they're "Amazings" instead of Awesome (though they certainly are awesome to these old ears). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws 15 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Right. I must have called them "Awesome" for the same reason... 😋 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodH 4,820 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 3 Woofers + 48" ribbons = ALS Silvers Awesome is appropriate if not technically accurate! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws 15 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Thanks RodH! At least I know what I have! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodH 4,820 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I am running a set of those in my vinyl/analog system. Still sweet after all the years. Hope you are enjoying yours! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Admin AndrewJohn 8,142 Posted January 4, 2022 Community Admin Share Posted January 4, 2022 Welcome to the forum, @Jaws Nice handle. My (very attractive) sister in law had "JAWS" on her license plate on her convertible..., and, well..., got some interesting reactions (and propositions) at stop lights... LoL. In reality, JAW or J. A. W., were her initials, and JAWS was just a way to say the possessive, that it was her "Audi A-5 Cabriolet"... It's amazing what conclusions people will draw. 😉 (and, no, I'm not drawing any conclusions here..., just sharing a funny story ! ) For the record, my wife is better looking so no one draws the wrong conclusion about me in my story above... Hah! Seriously, @Jaws, glad to have you aboard. In a bit, you should be able to poste pictures. There were some variations during production of the Amazing Silvers. And, it can be an interesting forensic hunt to figure out which you specifically have..., changes to drivers, and to crossovers..., which, probably don't really matter in the grand scheme of using your amazing and awesome speakers..., unless you want to experiment. Lots of info can be gleaned here, in the Manuals library as well as the schematics posted there, and even from some threads. Great (Amazing) speakers those are really awesome. Post some pictures of your set-up. We love pictures !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrus Gumboot 317 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Yes, please post some pictures of your Amazing speakers? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_at_HHH 2,609 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Welcome to the group, @Jaws! I can't offer any guidance on which speaker you have, aside from perhaps, not one I have, since I have no Carver speakers. I'm sure someone here can assist you in which you have. For now, join in the fun, and remember to enjoy the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothyrdykes 9 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I would love to find a nice set of Amazing’s. I remember drooling over them when I would see them in the stereo mags back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
