Scarabeo's System

You know, it does look like a door frame. Does it have standard door dimensions?

NAW, its 30 1/2" wide X 62" High so 4" shorter then the Platinum's. Very thick and heavy wood with a solid frame.

OK a little update

I Just got a pair of CARVER ALIII Plus Speakers!!!
Jump in if you have any good ideas as to how they sound best

CRAP WHAT AM I DOING???? I have the "DOORS" PLATINUMS and now ALIII Plus,,,I need some more AMP'S!!!!

What are the dimensions (LxWxH) of your listening room? That will affect proper setup for the AL-IIIs.

Also, make certain all four fuses are 4 amp slo-blo (available at Radio Shack).

Congrats on the ALIII's great speaker.

I guess the only room I have left is a bedroom that is 15' X 12' & ceiling 12'
I will use a sunfire pre-amp and one of my 1.5t for now but that is temp! I Plan on selling the "DOOR" speakers so that will open up more options. I will check the fuses and I still have some slow burn ones from my Platinums that I will check.
I got the ALIII Plus for a great price or I would not have got em - Just a lucky freak deal My Platinums are still KING around here but I Likey those ALIII's...

Set them up on a "dead" end of the room, preferably the long way, with the "live" end where you sit. Both you and the speakers should be at least 3 feet away from any walls, especially the ones behind the speakers. Toe in SLIGHTLY to taste, put your listening position about 2' back from an equilateral triangle with the speakers. Start from there, then use the Sonic Holography CD to tune to taste.

The 1.5t amp on the bottom is the one I am selling - The top 1.5t amp was sold

Very nice sir. Those rectangular speakers sure look intriguing.

Thank you and intriguing they are, At one point these were at the M & K Factory and I wonder if they made them, Most likely not and I have been told that they are old Martin's,,,Wish I known 100%.

Thanks everyone for your warm welcomes

This is definitely the best place to start as far as speaker placement goes. This diagram is the most recent diagram that Mr. Carver published. Give it a try and see what happens..
