Dan D 'Agostino, Mark Levinson, Jim Thiel,

Did any of you see the new Bob Carver speakers yet?, Bob Carver company is still in bussiness!, The new speakers are called The amazing line source, There is a whole page advertisement there in the july/august Absolute sound, thought I would chime in here and give the good news to all!, BTW, they appear to be a awsome statement pair of speakers that will get noticed soon, I believe Bob Carver himself is pictured with the speakers, cheers.

Audiolabyrinth...unless you're joking or working for Carver...that add has run before and I think it's ridiculous, and although those with 5,000 sq ft listening rooms might like the speakers, that add does little to dispel Carver's reputation as somewhat of a clown. I also have to wonder what Carver is thinking with the 700 watt mono tube amps that look like tube testing equipment...just strange. I think he recently designed some nice little tube amps but his tacky demeanor just takes away from credibility, such as it is.

These brands will carry on because they are established. I will always be a fanboy of Thiel loudspeakers. Simply the finest out there at this juncture. It is amazing to see the innovations that Pass, Carver, Curl and D'Agnostino are doing currently. Sometimes, leaving a comfortable postion to explore an unknown postion is warranted. Happy Listening!

I am not joking, No, I do not work for any audio company, nor am I a dealer, I am suprised at your post, you may not know much about carver speakers?, I have exsperience with the Carver speakers called, The Carver Amazing speakers, they were from the late 80s and early 90s, They were a panel speaker with 4 twelves on the panel along with a giant 5ft ribbon mid/treble, with out board cross over, they, to this day are one of the most transparent speakers I have listened too, They are just like electrostat speakers in all aspects, way ahead of it's time for speakers when they were produced, so if the new carver speakers are up-grade over these, I would like to listen to a pair, I would be amused if they better the originals!

Surprised that I think Carver is an annoying freak? I might be the only one who feels this way, but he seems insane.
