Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers

According to the brochure I picked up at Axpona, it says height 89" (minimum ceiling height of 93" required for setup and assembly).

Thanks that is the amount it says on their website also under the specifications.
But Jordon from Carver says that is incorrect and they are more like 91 1/2" tall. Actually the review in Absolute Sound lists them as 92" tall.
With these dimensions it will be very tight with my ceiling.

ozzy,

If you have the height clearance to accept the speakers, getting them on their large base stands would be a challenge at best.

If you do decide you want them, maybe cutting out a couple of temporary holes in the ceiling could be a solution.

In any event, best of luck to you.

BTW, if you plan on auditioning them, bring a tape measure.

lpretiring,

Well, I went ahead an ordered them.

1. My plan is.. to assemble them in a room that has 96+" in height. Then carry them into my audioroon horizontally.

In the center of my audioroom the ceiling is actually 92 1/2" tall. (Although the final placement will be in an area that is 91 1/2"+ tall. And I must add that it is very difficult to get an exact measurement of the height of the ceiling with a tape measure).

2. Lift them up at the 92 1/2" area and then slide them into the 91 1/2" area.

Bob Carver thinks that will work, Jordan from Carver is not sure.

So I would appreciate it if someone can measures their speakers and/or verify that my plan will work.

Thanks,
ozzy
