Carver Amazing Platinum

Hello, I recently purchased a pair of preowned Carver Amazing MkIV platinum loudspeakersand have a couple questions.

1) Does anyone know what the impeadance is for these?

I know the 60in ribbon is 4 ohms. I thought I read somewhere that the woofers were 16 ohms each. Wired in parallel that would be 4 ohms for all four. I'm not positive about the woofer impeadance though since I'm recalling this from memory.

2) Do I need to know anything special to bi-wire these speakers?

These speakers have a control panel for the hi and low freq
responce and for the Q damping. I haven't pulled the controls out of the unit or anything yet. I don't imagine this is anything difficult to do however it doesn't hurt to ask if I should be aware of anything.

I tried calling Carver(Sunfire) with these questions and was
refered to a guy in Fl. However he only repairs the ribbon
drivers.

Thanks
Chris

The guy you need to contact is Fernando Mac. He rebuilds these speakers and supplied new drivers to Genesis Tech.
They used the same drivers in some of their speakers.

Sometimes you will see Fernando selling the Carver Amazing Loudspeaker on ebay.

Call Sunfire back and ask them to give you Fernando's number.
