Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers


Since I now own the Carver Raven 350 amps, I have become very interested in the Carver Amazing Line Source speakers. But I have not been able to actually hear them.
Can anyone who has heard them comment as to the sound quality?

Thank you

I've had a pair for 2 years, and can't listen to them enough.  My listening room is impossible - roughly 20 feet by 25 feet, but with six walls and 3 huge open arches, and a 14' ceiling. I've tried many speakers in this room, and finally decided that I needed line sources to fill this wheat field.  A visit to Bob in Washington convinced me that the speakers were great, but the question was whether they'd do the job in this room.  The answer is definitely yes, albeit supplemented by 2 SunFire Trios as well as 2 SunFire subwoofers.  So with 76 Bob Carver speakers firing out of a McIntosh 452, I couldn't be happier.  The last movement of the Mahler 10th literally shakes the walls, but string quartets and viola da gamba solos have loads of presence and resonance.
