Possible Carver Amazings(for me)

The ribbons alone are worth more then that if they work! Grab 'em up, at that price u can flip 'em easy if you don't like them.

my fingers are crossed...

Awaiting response on the AL III's.

For that price, It would almost be like 2 for one?

I wouldn't commit to anything on the Amazings until I was able to check them out thoroughly.....

What should I be looking for?

I know the drivers need surrounds.

I was told the ribbons and cabinets are in good shape.

Buzzing from the Ribbons and Miss-placed Magnets also look for tears and re-pairs on the Ribbons! Female Vocals and piano are good testing tools and some good Volume - Just wire up the Ribbon section and forget the low end as you already know the issues there and/or AL III's are easier to re-place with drivers as too the Amazings so go test Ribbons only! Good luck

He said he is currently using them(Amazings) with a sub.

I will have a listen when I get there Sat.

There are AT LEAST two comprehensive threads on what to look/listen for when auditioning Amazings. I'd link them but on my Droid now & it's difficult to open multiple windows to cross-reference. A search should bring them up.

Hope it works out Chris!!!!!

Thanks again guys!

I'm checking out some of the discussions on them.

No response from the AL III ad...

... it really pours!

I also just saw a pair of (I think) Original Amazings, around 4 or 5 ft tall with the wood cabinets? It was at a new local estate sale company.They are supposed to call me with a price tomorrow.

All drivers and ribbons intact. How much should I offer, vs. taking the 120 mile trip(one way) to pick up the Piano black Amazings with blown drivers?

Either way, by Sunday, I will own Carver speakers!

4-5 feet tall would be Silver editions.

Thanks! What would be a good price for these? Or how high should I be willing to go vs $350 for the ones 1 1/2 hours away?

Yeah! 'bout damn time!

As of right now, no call or email back re: the AL III.

I am (supposed to be)getting pricing on the Silver's tomorrow.

If that doesn't go through, headed out of town to pick up the black Amazings!

WISH ME LUCK GENTLEMEN!

I live close and have a set of AL-lll's if you would like to have a listen. Aurora IN area
