Modification of Carver Amazing Platinums... Help


I recently purchased what I believe to be the BEST bang for the buck, the Amazing Platinums. MINT condition piano gloss for only $800!!

Anyway, I was extremely disappointed to find that not only are they not bi-wirable, but the binding posts were outfitted with crappy plastic lugs. I want to vertically bi-amp these speakers with an Aragon 4004 mkII on the subs and a Music Reference RM-9 on the ribbons.

Can anyone with experience please explain to me what needs to be done to accomplish this, or point me in the right direction for modification instuctions?

I've posted this question to the Planar Asylum and done extensive searches on the net (with what little time I have) to no avail.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me!!!

Thank you, Sean.

If you have a minute, would you please give me your opinion based on this schematic I dug up?

I value the opinions you make here and I could feed them to a buddy of mine who I know can do the work.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Thanks to all for the continued responses to this thread.

I've emailed (and it didn't bounce) Rudi, but I haven't gotten a response. I haven't tried to contact Dave yet. Not enough hours in the day for me here recently.

Bob, I would love to see your schematic. My first choice (obviously) would be the active crossover. If I can't get Rudi to respond, I need to do the upgrade that you have performed. I NEED (read: want) to get two amps on these suckers ASAP.

Sean, four (4) amps is a great idea. And I'm more than sick enough to do it. This disease has really taken root.

Best to all,
March

A public thanks to Sonicbob who not only entertained me on the phone last night for 20+/- minutes, but who is also sending me schematics on how to complete the job.

I'm sure the guys over at the Planar Asylum will be equally tickled when I share the information that Bob is providing.

Still no response from Rudi!!! Looks like I'm going the passive route!!

Regards,
March
