« on: September 27, 2010, 07:40:03 PM »
Just throwing this out there.....
I want different stuff. I am looking for a very nice power amp or a pair of very nice speakers. As trade bait I have a Nakamichi PA-5 and a rebuilt (by NATOE) Dynaco ST-70 for an amp. In trade for speakers I will trade my Mcintosh XR-16s, the dynaco, and a Definitive supercube sub if necessary. I love the gear I have, I just want to try something different. To be honest, this is all caused by Oldiesbutgoodies and his proacs and mccormack gear. I know the gear I have isn't worth anything near the proacs, but it's the direction I want to go.

New offer to throw out there... The ST-70 and $300 for a nice Solid State amp. Looking for something in the 150 per channel range. More power isn't a problem  ;).

No, sorry.  Fair trade. Please. I paid $500 for the ST70 about 2 months ago, and I used it for about 3 cds before deciding it wasn't a good match with my speakers.

Sorry, I misunderstood and didn't realize you had so much work done to it. I've had bad experiences with Carver gear in the past, so I am steering clear. PM sent on the ST-70 details. Thanks for the interest.

I was waiting for OCCD and his posse to counter Ed's comment!!!   You can do almost anything in these forums - but critiquing Carver stuff is asking for a lynching!   :o

The Sunfire stuff is pretty good,  I must admit.  I borrowed the Carver C-4000 pre and could not get it to match the McCormack's musical, clean sound - but it got pretty close.  The C-4000 is much more than a stereo pre,  with the Sonic Holography stuff,  which I did not test at the time.  I need to borrow it for the weekend now that the room is set up with more speakers! 

All hail Bob!

I have no quarrels with sunfire gear. I wouldn't mind having a 300-2 in my set-up at some point.

Ed, I'll drop the ST-70 back off at your house after work tomorrow if you're going to be home.  Let me know.
