Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings

Madisound is in Madison Wi.

They are really good doing what they do.  Credible guys and worth doing business with if they can help you.  If not, then someone may want them to fix them themselves.  

To answer your question, I'd audition the Maggies, Vandersteen's, Quads and the Sander's system (you must buy them with his system though), depending on your budget.  Vandy and Maggies come in lower price ranges depending on what you can afford. 

bdp24.  Please take this the right way.  Nothing is the best value or the best, unless the person listening feels it is. To you it is, but to many it's not. I have owned a pair for a short period of time and have heard the latest variant.  It's a great value and a good speaker to my ears too, but I like some others better. I personally don't care about what others think about a component as that's their ears in their system in their home.  That's the caveat about all gear obviously.   

There are many speakers in that price range that are outstanding and loved by many, but it's a great suggestion of course and most often forgotten by many of us.  I too would put that on my short list if I had remembered to.  It's a great option.  Again I hope I said that the right way.  Nothing negative meant.  Thanks.

Thanks bdp.  I know of a few folks who do the same thing.  If you have a chance, get a hold of a couple of the new Vandersteen subs for 2500 each and cross it over around 100hz or so.  Possibly 120hz and dial in the EQ to smooth the bass in your room.  I know of one person who did this and he said it changed the system greatly for the better.  This way you get the best of both worlds.
