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.
Some cool Carver stuff!

Re: Some big changes in my system!
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.
What are you using for amp stands?

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.
Some cool Carver stuff!
Re: Some big changes in my system!
Hey tuffman, congratulations on the amps! When I bought mine, I knew it was an investment for life, well worth the money. Did you buy yours new using the new distribution channel (Bob is not selling them on ebay for obvious reasons), or did you but them pre owned from someone? Just curious =)
