Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings

Hi All,

a while back, I posted a question titled “Secondary/“vintage” system speaker replacement options?” in this section. However, it didn’t get many responses.

However, perhaps the above simpler title will elicit more responses. Just trying again.

if you’d like more background info, please see the above titled post.

All the best and many thanks.

They are really good doing what they do.  Credible guys and worth doing business with if they can help you.  If not, then someone may want them to fix them themselves.  

To answer your question, I'd audition the Maggies, Vandersteen's, Quads and the Sander's system (you must buy them with his system though), depending on your budget.  Vandy and Maggies come in lower price ranges depending on what you can afford.

Thanks again ctsooner. I’ll contact them and see what they can do. Thanks also for your speaker suggestions.

Everybody knows about and buys Magneplanars, and for good reason; they’re great and an excellent value, the best in a planar. EXCEPT for the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, the best speaker value in all of hi-fi. Just ask Harry Weisfeld of VPI, who described the midrange of the LFT-8 as the best he has ever heard, at any price. I wouldn’t go THAT far (the Quad 57’s are still unequalled in that regard), but for $2499/pr they can’t be beat. Add a pair of the Sound Anchor stands for a coupla hundred and you’re all set.
