I found a pair of mint Carver Amazings


A friend of mine had a pair and I think for there age they sound pretty good. My question is What amp will wake these speakers up and really make them sing
Thanks in advance

I listened to a pair of these Friday afternoon. They were powered by the biggest Bryston stereo amp and a current model Levinson amp rated at 200/400 wpc. Neither of these amps could get these speakers to open up. I was thoroughly unimpressed. To be fair though, i did notice that one of the ribbon tweeters was moving in unison with low frequency input, so my guess is that something was very wrong with at least one of these speakers. Sean

I listened to a pair of these with a big Levinson amp and a big Bryston driving them. Both were completely inadequate for these speakers. I don't doubt that the Krell would be a better match, both in terms of sheer grunt factor and tonal balance. Sean
