Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce myself. I have been lurking around for a bit and found WBF to be very informative and cordial. I've been a music aficionado and in high-end audio since 1984. Is this the right place for an introduction? If so, I will be posting my music system photo and info here. If not, please direct me to the proper forum. Thanks.
Very nice. I recognize much of the hardware but trying to figure out what the almost flat rectangular box in the center of the room is? Some kind of sub (or maybe a high end table top stove )

It's the subwoofer that comes with the Carver ALS speaker. It's about 4 inches thick and flat down to 20 Hz. The preamp with outboard power supply in the bottom rack is big as most amps and is a extensively modified Aragon 18k with new chassis, inductive remote volume control, Zfoil and wirewound NOS resistors, film caps in PS, etc. I also have rebuilt Quad ESL 57, Raidho D2.1, Ridge Street Audio Sason speakers.
Hi, I've only had the Carvers setup for a week. So they're still breaking in, and I'm fine tuning the placement and subwoofer integration. They have many user adjustments I'm trying to figure out. But from what I hear so far, these have potential to redefine SOTA speakers. I'll post a full review when I feel they're ideally setup and broken in.
+1 Love, love the system. I had line source speakers for years (Pipedreams) and have always been fascinated by the Carvers. Have fun setting up the system for best performance. When you get there, let us know. You could be on Ked's next tour!
