Carver AL-III Speakers

Carver AL-III Loudspeakers

• Original MSRP: $4000
• Asking price: $1200 or best offer
• Visual quality 9.0 out of 10 (near perfect condition) The Carver AL-III speakers are a "ribbon" speaker -- which is an variant of electrostatic speakers. With no real moving parts like a magnetic speaker, these have virtually perfectly flat frequency response down to about 400 Hz. Below 400 Hz, they have a built-in woofer in the base. These speakers are considered audiophile speakers. If you're trying to build an audiophile stereo on a budget, this would be a great place to start. Current listings on eBay range from $800 - $2000. These are in very good shape. The foam is all new. The "cap" on one of the speakers is loose (serves no functional purpose other than to hide the foam at the top).
