Some big changes in my system!

I am now in the tube amp world. I picked up a set of Bob Carver Cherry 305 amps! I have also added some other cool stuff. Jon Van L speakerworks speakers, True Image amp and a Marantz TT.

I am enjoying them very much so far. I knew what the amps could do but the Jon Van L speakers keep suprising me with how well they sound.

Very, very nice I think those Carver Tube amps were well worth whatever deal you had to strike to acquire them. Very good on both sides. =D>

Small world. I know Jon Van and used to work at Van L Speakerworks on Western Ave in Chicago, though I'm not familiar with the speakers in your photo.

Re: Some big changes in my system!

That is a big Sunfire I have in there. I put it in there for now but it will be moved to join my ALIII's again. I just had to put it in there to make a cool looking setup.

First off, congratulations on the amps!!! Is this the rig you will be bringing to Carverfest?
