Any updates?

Those were originally intended to be two way speakers with a quarter wave transmission line.

I had my original Carver Amazing Loudspeakers hooked up to a 1000 W per channel Carver CTS 2000. That was the best they ever sounded. The really came alive with the bigger power amplifier. Very fast and accurate bass. They were clean and coherent at any volume.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! You are all great!

Pictures please.

If you can get them for free, you may be able to find the original woofer for each cabinet, remove the lower driver, plug the hole where the lower woofer is, and bring them back to original working condition.

I believe that those were ESS AMT1 towers. They were originally supposed to have a single 10 inch woofer in a quarter wave transmission line with an AMT up top. Those appear to have been bastardized by a teenager that had no clue of what he was doing. They are totally ruined. I would have to...

The grill material looks an awful lot like what ESS used on their speakers, but I've never seen a pair of their speakers that look like that.

Nice! I had a similar pair except with the 15 inch Jensen woofer and a larger midrange horn and driver. I believe they were Allied model 2385.

No.

Bose always has their own dedicated listening room. Bose will not allow another speaker to be auditioned in the same room, at least that's how it was when I worked in an audio store and sold Bose. We actually did some side by side comparisons and the Bose products did not fair very well. To...

I know this thread is really old, but if you still lerk around here maybe you could please reupload those pictures. Thanks

Old thread! I now own all ESS Heil AMT speakers.

I believe this is a better option than an electrostat. https://www.precide.ch/eng/eheil/eheildetails.htm https://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/ess_amt_e.html

Naaah In my opinion ... They are too directional and have a tendency to beam leaving a tiny sweet spot/listening position. Typically they have terrible dynamics and don't integrate very well with cone bass drivers. Do some research on the air motion transformer that was invented by physicist...

Check out anything 'ESS AMT' if you're able. They hands down wax anything on your list.

I was surprised. My Onkyo TX RZ50 is being used for amplification on all my system except for the subs. My system sounds great! It never seems to run out of headroom. Now I'm thinking about selling some of my separates.

Can you please repost your videos? Thanks

They like high current amplification.

I had the original Carver Amazing Loudspeakers with the four woofers per side. I used a Crown CTS 2000 amplifier with a thousand Watts RMS per channel to really wake them up.

It sounded kind of dark and murky and didn't have very good control over the bass.

I run my ESS AMT 1B with solid state Soundcraftsmen amplification. I briefly tried a Fisher 800b and it didn't have the synergy.

Yeah, they don't sound good with tubes. They really need high current solid state amplification with a high slew rate and dampening factor.

How do you think the Carvers stood up to the Soundcraftsmen, sound quality wise?
