Newbie's system

Are those acoustic panels behind your ALSs?

What happened to the Sunfire amp? Do you prefer the A-760x? Nice setup by the way!

Thanks. Sunfire is in the shop. Rabbit - My basement is almost completely underground so it's cinder block, wood studs and 70's thin paneling. I'd get weird echos/noise off the back wall, this fixed that issue.

That looks like a USAF beer mug on the table......?

Very very nice setup. Congrats

Yeah, i'm going with the C-4000. Love the phono channel.

You are going to like it. Next you will be wanting a C-19.

The C-16 is black and will give the C-4000 a run for the money. Very nice system and welcome.

I didn't realize how old this thread was before I posted. Oh well......................

Nice match on the TT and speakers.

Nice Match on the Speakers and the EAR!!!

Yea, see what you mean. Those panels got me reading on room design and speaker placement.
Apparently that is more important than I thought.
Now my brain is confused with sound waves, reflections and stuff guys like you know all about.
I am learning everyday from yall though.

Nice.....

It's been a few year so I figured i'd post an update. System as it stands now: Carver C-19 (modded by vintagehifi), Carver 305 Tube Mono Blocks, PS Audio Superlink DAC, Apple TV, Philips CD-80 cdp, Funk Firm Vector TT, Pioneer RT-707, Sunfire True IV sub, DIY Speakers (48" carver ribbons + 8" woofers)

Nice!!!!!

Hey Rev, tell me about your speakers.

They look like homemade ALS'.

BTW beautiful set up.

Thanks! Tom at vintagehifipgh and I had been talking about this for awhile. We wanted to make a modified amazing silvers that had the drivers facing the sides and a few other ideas. I went with this. A 48" ribbon /8" driver /9.5" width /15" deep with a slotted port on the back. I think they are 59" tall. The cabinets are made out of oak and some plywood. The imaging is awesome and little driver does a good job of providing a punchy bass.

Here's a few pics of the building process. I guess I should have started a new thread.

Awesome System. Thanks for posting a few pics of the speaker build.
