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.

Hello Tom, and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us!

 

Nice selection of gear you have there. All of the Carver items you mentioned are popular here, and so are the NHT speakers. Several here have the 2.9s, and I think there are four of us with 3.3s. I've not heard or read a bad word about any of them.

 

Once you get to Novice status, please consider uploading some pics of your systems in the Members Systems area. We all like pics of all kinds of stereo and home theater gear.

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.

and I think that makes 5. I have the 3.3s as the front speakers in my home theater. Each one is bi-wrired with an M1.0t mkII opt002. If I turn it up enough to bounce the LEDs off the bottom, I can't stay in the room and Bo, my Golden Doodle owner, is long gone.
