I don't have space for this stuff and spend too much time bitching every time I need to move things around.

So for a limited time (until I realize I really want to keep all this), I am putting up for sale a complete 2 channel rig. Local pick up only, $500 for everything.

-Monitor 7B's with peerless with upgraded crossovers; one or two spare drivers, two spare Peerless. Includes original black stands. Very good shape overall (stands have some peeling but should be easy to fix).
-Carver M500, recently overhauled by Rita. Scratches here & there, meters/lights work perfectly.
-Carver C1, recently overhauled by Rita. More scrathes here and there. Have a printed manual.
-Denon 2910. manual, remote and generic power cord. Pretty decent shape, and very good sounding redbook/SACD player.
-Will throw some very decent interconnects and cheap speaker cable.

This rig actually sounds pretty good.

I might post some pictures later, but for any local just come see/hear it.

Won't ship or separate, don't ask.

Yeah, feeling a little crazy today.

Local is in the Cincinnati OH area (20 miles north of the river).

    Be VERY CAREFUL guys...

    There are stories that Ricardo (AKA R. Hannibal Lecter) lures unsuspecting audiophiles into his basement with cheap deals on great gear...and they are never seen again. Seems they are forced to listen to a EMO/BOSE/M rig for hours upon end. Then as they begging to just die, he stuffs fava beans in their ears and does a nice chant. Oh the horror.

    You've been warned. :eek:

    Just a little more info.

    -The crossovers were upgraded with Dayton caps; not sure what the resistors were, but the improvement vs the old stock parts was very noticeable. So no, no Sonicaps.
    -Pre and amp should be good for another 20 years. I am not sure exactly what was changed, but most Carver diehards around here have said very good things about Rita.

    The Venezuelan stuff. Pricey but good. Ditch the leather bag.

    Ricardo was local for me. Almost ten hours one way. And a wonderful host, though he didn't offer me any fava beans.

    Buy with complete confidence. You won't find a nicer person.
