Hi "jw" - I did do a pair in "piano black" (the Black Betty's). Be aware, the gloss black will show EVERY imperfection. Take your time is probably the very best advice I could give. If you have veneer popping, try to get a little something under it and glue it back down (i.e. save it). I use 3M wood filler to fill in the bad spots. Lots of sanding and get them as smooth as possible. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

This is my friends setup that I was telling you about. Now this is a small room. It sounded fantastic! The photo was taken from his couch, listening position. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Keep the sub, you will like having it with the Scala's. This is the pair that had the thick and difficult tinted varnish. After many sheets of sand paper, bloody knuckles and desperation, completely stripped to raw wood. And ultimately, they became "Plum Crazy" again, you can do this, Alex! We are here to help Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

It is very simple, get to sanding my friend. The most difficult pair I restored were covered in several coats of thick varnish. They were murder! I wanted to give up half way through. Black paint will be a breeze, comparatively. Just gonna take a little determination and elbow grease You could always skip the very hardest part, getting inside the folded horn. Just leave em' black back there. No one will ever know once you slap in some sweet custom cane bass bin grills You can do this! Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

NOOOOOO!!! Alex, just today I visited a friend/customer who I sold a pair of La Scala to last year. His Scala's were so close to the listening position, literally less than 7 feet. It felt like you could almost reach out and touch them. I thought they would sound bad. They DID NOT !!! He is using an old Marantz and the Scala's sounded fabulous, even that close. If you can convince the remainder of your household some tolerance, try it before you make the FINAL decision. You worked so hard to find and get these babies up and going. There has to be another solution? Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

As much as I would like to have those horns, resources running thin. Good luck with your sale. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Did you read the description of the m1.5t priced at $375 ...I certainly wouldn't buy from this seller EDIT: I kindly mentioned to the seller, he was doing himself a disservice by the long. drawn out description pulled from a google search. He listened and changed the item description to a more accurate assessment. Good job seller This other ebay seller however, I would have no problem doing business with. He has several, recently serviced, m1.5t units listed for sale. As well, he has excellent feedback for many high end audio component sales. Looks to be a trusted seller to me... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carver-M-1-5t-Vintage-Power-Amplifier-/201694717377?hash=item2ef5f125c1:g:gdoAAOSw8w1YBu26 I ran an m1.5t on a pair of RF-7's for a little while. It was spectacular and I would highly recommend this unit. Just my two Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Yes, at that price I would think you already have them in the trunk

nope, the RSW series is no longer in production... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

It was my pleasure, Shaun I am glad the Custom Chorus finally found a good home. Now we just need to get you some good juice. They are going to blow your socks off Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Rattle can results can turn out OK

WHAT? me, never Excited, another forum member picks up his Custom Chorus from me tonight. Can't wait for him to see and hear them on my tubes

...and not to mention pair "Plum Crazy"?

NOOOOOOO!!!!.

Highly recommended!

Yes, I have the proper collectors, too ...with reverse flow muffler inserts to help keep er' peaceful Next weekends project. Along with a variety of other fine tuning additions and adjustments Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Very nice of you, Mark - I will be visiting another friend in Columbus this summer. Maybe I can arrange a detour in there somewhere? I am excited to hear them sing "JW". I ordered two different sets of muffler inserts for the collectors, the backflows as well as maximum flow. They are easily swapped out, depending on my mood and needs. Running them open is likely not a good idea to remain friendly with the neighbors. It was hard enough smoothing them over after some window rattling music sessions Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

I am curious "MG"? How old is your son and how did he happen across this car. Fabulous job, Nick!

Cool car

Perhaps not what you were imagining? Pretty good lookin' none the less Likely the last of the major modifications to my '69 Corvette before winter sets in. The past 3 weeks of work have led up this beautiful finale. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ ...been a while since I have visted - Hi all
