This is it, the ultimate Carver speaker ever produced. Full 60” ribbon + 4 built-in subwoofers. Fully restored in 2005. This pair is in piano black. Sonically excellent, cosmetically a 4, with some paint flaws and one crack in the veneer, not the wood (see pictures).. A rare chance to own one of the best sounding speakers ever made, these will outclass anything under $10,000. Regrettably, hearing loss forces sale.


One recent reviewer:

“These Carver Amazing Platinum MK IV speakers produce superior articulation and power in the bass, with far greater ribbon transparency, air, openness and ability to play loud, unlike other dipole ribbon and electrostatic speakers I’ve experienced. These Carver's are truly a full range speaker and can play dynamic full spectrum musical passages at sound pressure levels beyond expectation; when sufficiently powered  If you ever have the opportunity to purchase a clean and well cared for pair of these speakers, buy them without hesitation, if you have the space and amplification in which to accommodate them  If you are looking for a great world class pair of dipole ribbon speakers, that can play at lifelike levels, then these are the speakers you should ultimately own”.

Things to consider:

They require lots of amplifier power - I recommend at least 300 watts per channel.

They do better in a larger room, and better 3 feet out from the back wall.

They are big - see specs and pictures.


Carver published specifications - Frequency response: 22 Hz to 40kHz - 3.0 dB from reference; Impedance: Nominal 8 ohms; Maximum SPL: 113 dB symphonic music power spectrum, 110 dB rock music power spectrum. Crossover: Ribbon operates full range to 40 kHz, subwoofer augments ribbon below 120 Hz. Recommended amplifier power: Up to 750 watts per channel. Weight 110 Lbs. each. Dimensions: 30" W x 10" D x 66" H.


Local Pickup in Los Angeles strongly preferred. If you must have them shipped, I will have them professionally crated and shipped at buyers cost.
