"Original Carver Amazing Speakers. These have the Carver 60" ribbon upgrade. These ribbon tweeters were rebuilt less than two years ago and are in great condition. Comes with the Carver Speaker Control System with Hologram Generator, trim levels and subsonic filter. I also have a pair of Carver Silver 7t amps to drive them. $1350 for the pair of amps. If you are reading this you know what a rare combination this is! With the rebuilt tweeters and Carver speaker control System this is a fantastic deal! If amps and speakers are purchased together I'm willing to work a discounted price. Email or text for more info."

    The Amazings go for WAAYYYYY less than that. If it was a package deal with the amps then maybe, but if the amps are 1350 on top, not even close to a good deal.

    4-800 for a pair in decent shape tops, assuming no work needs to be done.

    What about $40 for a set of S10's? I just scored a set of S6's last week for $20. Thoughts on the S10's?

    I haven't managed to try them out yet. Too many things in my sound room, but I am anxious too.
