Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers

To each his own, but my first experience with the Carver Line source was the recent axpona show.  Three of us listened to these in two different rooms.  We left each of the listening rooms smiling and agreeing the sound was very good if not the best we heard in our afternoon.
I don't claim to have another pair of $19,000 speakers to compare them to but listened to many more expensive speakers at the same show.  None made my want list.

Since that day my son now 29 keeps asking when I'm getting them.  Would really love to know how they would sound with the old Sunfire vs the current Thiel CS 3.6.
I'll keep dreaming.

parkhurst,

Thank you for sharing that visit. 
Did you think the soundstage was set too high as some others have posted on other forums?

Ozzy, 

I really couldn't say that with the little time I listened jammed in a small hotel room with a lot going on.  I like the idea of the private listening session offered if your really serious.  You gotta love them to spend that kind of money.  

@ ozzy, Dude!, Frank just said  he would pay for your flight and stay to Chicago or Washington state to do demo, I would like you to do it,  and post here or email me about the sound and experience,  cheers 🍺🍹🍸🍷🥃

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.
