  1. I see not only are you a Carver fan but also run a set of forte's in a 2-channel rig. I picked up my forte's at Vintage Hi-Fi of Pittsburgh at the beginning of October for $200, got them home and have been listening to them ever since. Very nice speaker!! I've had a couple of TFM-55s, a TFM-45, a pair of TFM-35s, an M500T, several Carver receivers, and 3 Lightstar amplifiers. Now, let me qualify this next statement, this was my experience and my experience only, it applies to me and my rig. Now with that one little caveat I noticed if you don't need alot of power the M-500t is a beautiful amp and it sounds good but the mids struck me as a little closed in or crowded. The 55s are nice, I ran mine bridged to a set of Amazing Silvers. Now in my rig the TFM-45 had more accurate bass and seemed to have a better overall frequency balance. Sadly, the cost of vintage Carver gear keeps escalating. Ebay, sheesh!! Try looking at CarverAudio.com. Someone there might have something that would meet your needs. Look in the Sales for new members. good luck!! ray
