Carver Electrostatic Speakers And Magnetic Field Power Amplifier

What’s Included • Carver Amazing Loudspeaker Pair • Original “Amazing” model – full-range planar magnetic ribbons with four 12” woofers per speaker • 60” ribbon driver for stunning transparency, imaging, and dynamics • Requires high-current amplification (4 ohm load) • Condition: Ribbon panels are working and sound incredible. Woofers need re-foaming or full replacement (common age-related issue for this model). Cabinets are solid, with normal cosmetic wear for age. • Carver Magnetic Field Power Amplifier (M-1.0t or M-4.0t) • Designed by Bob Carver to drive low-impedance loads like the Amazings • Delivers massive power (up to 500W @ 4 ohms) • Condition: Fully functional. Recently bench-tested. Woofers need to be refoamed. ⸻ About the Carver Amazing This speaker was Bob Carver’s flagship and is still revered for its wide soundstage, lifelike midrange, and nearly electrostatic-like transparency—but with rock-concert-level dynamics. Each speaker has four 12” woofers integrated with a 6-foot ribbon that covers most of the frequency range. Once restored, they rival speakers in the $10,000+ category. ⸻ What Needs Work • Woofers: All eight 12” drivers need new surrounds. You can refoam them (DIY kits $35) or replace with matched drivers ($100–150 each). • Cosmetics: Typical edge wear, but structurally sound. Ribbons and crossovers work well and have been tested. ⸻ Price & Value • Asking Price: $1,500 O.B.O. for the full system • These speakers alone have sold for $2,500–$3,500 in restored condition • The amplifier sells for $400–$500 by itself • This bundle is priced to reflect woofer restoration needs, offering a huge value to audiophiles or collectors ⸻ Pickup & Shipping • Pickup in Los Angeles area highly preferred – these are large and heavy (each speaker ≈ 130 lbs) • Shipping possible, but buyer must arrange freight (I can assist with packing and coordination) ⸻ Payment & Contact Cash, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal accepted. Happy to provide demo videos, close-up photos, or inspection by appointment.
