Is this combo a good match for 2.3s?

Thnks for the input. Also, have an opportunity for a second 1.5 so I could bi-amp...

Thoughts?

    The 1.5s are not as well-loved by The Carver Faithful as the second-design (non-inverted) M1.0, and the M500 is not suitable for SDA speakers without the isolation transformer because all of them have one inverted channel. (Cannot be made common-ground)

    Any of the old Carver gear is going to need to be refurbished. Costs about the same as buying the component to begin with. There are Carver refurb specialists, though. You could ask them about pricing, scheduling, turn-around time, etc.
