    Engtaz.....great purchase. I have a set of Platinums and their sound is breathtaking! Very open. I was worried about placement and the only place I had for them was upstairs in the loft. My A-framed sloped ceiling as well as placing the backs of the speakers toward the railing seems to have worked out perfectly......I guess I lucked out but this placement allowed them to be away from the side walls and gave them 30 feet of open space behind them. Made them sound beautiful...lots of breathing space!! I power mine with a Lightstar Reference 2.0 amp. ENJOY!!!
    Sell me your lightstar :D




    REGARDS SNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Sweet Jesus, man he's friggin GIVING them away. You kids keep playing with your pint sized speakers.

    I guess it's like I always say: "Those who don't know, don't know that they don't know..."

    Put 'em on the 'Gon, man. Screw it...


    Ant'y I could not have said it better,, I honestly did not think that these would ever be so difficult to pass on.The price is more than fair,their condition is very good,,maybe it's the economy. They are also linked at the carver forum, I'll put em' on A'gon towards the w/e if nothing happens here.Thanks--george

    Early, you have the room to keep these downstairs while construction is going on. If you can wing it, make it happen. You think you have good sound now?

    I'm just sayin'.............

    I've been thinking about it-I even thought about making a drive to GA :eek: :eek:, but then I took a reality check (upper cut actually), and realized that my wife would definately know that I have been buying more gear again :o. Simply no way for me to hide them. Or explain why I had to drive to GA.

    I got confused along the way, what model speakers are these? Amazing Silvers? With 3 drivers?

    Ben, I'm sure you could quickly sell off some of your parts surplus and easily get the fundage for these! Go for them man! As you said, these were one of your dream speakers.

    This is where I NEED to start with my rig held ransom by the ex. Jeezus... I don't even have the amplification to fire these up, but opportunity is squirting me in the eye right now. Let me make some calls and shake some hands.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Not so sad anymore. Still not this forum's greatest moment. At that price, from solid George? Those should've been gone in a flash.

    Yeah... in my infinite stupidity, I sent last night's PM to Bill and called it a night.
    PM sent to the actual owner this time.

    Thanks Ricardo. You're truly a class-act. But I suspect you already know that.
