I search on amazon.com for SACD's listed by price, & sometimes find some ASTOUNDING deals on them. I picked up a 5.1 surround SACD of forest sounds (VERY relaxing) for $.99.

I see you never found an answer; hope this isn't too little too late. The Symphonic Reference series were a low-budget option by Sunfire. Really good sounding amp/preamp, but NO parts are available for these now so any issues that can't be reverse engineered means it's a boat anchor.

Those definitely are NOT the original woofers. DynaVox makes the only true replacement woofers for these. If you have the later woofers, the DO NOT match your crossover! Those look like the DynaVox replacements for the Platinum version of the Amazings. If you go with active crossovers, it...

Before you waste time doing anything with the spider, check the impedance on the woofers. Sometimes a VC that has been overheated will distort in shape & cause the VC to rub the magnet....

DO NOT use Brake Kleen! It will eat up parts! CRC or deOxit is a great idea. Great to use on old, tarnished switches & pots, too.

http://www.bobcarver.com/ They will list at about $20-22K. He's competing with systems in the $100k range.

You can't refoam properly. Anyone who says they can will screw up the frequency responce/Q of the woofers. Orevox now charges about $80 per woofer for replacements....factor that into what you're willing to pay. Not a terrible price, but I'd certainly check them out thoroughly first.

Zune:

Looks like the Microsoft Zune logo..?

A quote from a guy I know attending AXPONA: "I'd just like to add that these speakers are easily the best of the show. With the side firing drivers that are basically floor to ceiling the soundstage is huge, and more importantly the SWEET spot is equally huge. In fact there was not a bad seat...

Parts Express is a little cheaper, but overall more expensive unless you can get free shipping. Sweetwater has THE BEST customer service/support (lifetime guarantee on ALL sales) I've ever experienced in my LIFE. I can't recommend them highly enough. I ordered 2 cans of DeOxit 2 years ago...

.....in Jacksonville, FL this weekend. To continue this trainwreck of a thread: http://www.carveraudio.com/phpBB3/index.php Details here on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/94906064623/10150610381904624/?comment_id=10150613545839624&notif_t=like Flame away~

FYI: CarverFest is held annually near Bryson City, NC. Check here for details: http://www.carveraudio.com/phpBB3/index.php You'll have to join to access. The next one is in Sep 2012.

The problem with small, compact subs is they MUST develop tremendous power to overcome the lack of cabinet volume. You don't get something for nothing. A tiny cabinet must overcome a lot of issues to present huge bass. It's basic physics. Bob overcame that problem & there have been a HUGE...

The amp has DC protection built into the outputs.

These are almost full-range ribbons drivers (crossed over @ 190 hz) that are capable of running down to 100 hz (but it's hard on them to do so at higher volumes). I run slo-blo fuses, but no protection caps. It is my understanding that a cap is only used if you're running lower frequencies to...

No, it's Source > Preamp > XO > EQ > Amp > Speakers Right now, I'm using the EQ for the top end only as it approaches clipping at the upper limit with the full range through it.

These are very similar to the design of the Sunfire Cinema Ribbon s CRM-2 speakers, which sound WONDERFUL, especially for their size: So I'm sure the same (or similar) rules apply to the phase/polar mapping of the ALS, as they share quite similar side mounted woofers.

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. I never called anyone a heretic, just knew that Bob had designed the ribbon & I honestly didn't know it was the same one that PE sells now~ :D Bob states the ribbons will easily accept 200 watts. Here are some original posts: My post: "Also, the...

Thanks! It's a labor of love~

The extrusions are @ 89"--overall height will depend on the final configuration of the top plate & base/feet, but will be no more than 92".

In response to the recent closed thread on Bob's new Amazing Line Source speakers---- (original CLOSED thread: http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=390387 ) Direct from Bob Carver's mouth: Bob Carver here. I've been reading the commentary on my new speaker and find the interest very...

I'm packing everything up & taking it to CarverFest in Almond, NC, next week. If anyone is near there, PM me & I'll give you directions to the cabins where CF is held, 10-20 September.
