System pairing

correct the only thing staying the same will be the Carvers.

I am moving into a new place in the Spring time and wanted to use my current system in an extra room I will have with some bookshelves or other tower speakers, and build a whole new system for my main 2 channel.

I have put a lot of thought into each item, however just was unsure if everything would mesh well or if there was something better in the price classes that I'm looking at.

I know there are better speakers out there besides the Carvers, but for me I love their sound, and I love Ribbons.

Every component including cables and your room sounds different depending on whichever component each is operating with. No one on this forum can tell you what you like...its up to you to discover that...that is the fun of this hobby. I would be especially careful and critical, since the money for this stuff is being saved for...that is, its not just play money. Take your time and do it right the first time so that you don't spend this hard earned money and be dissatisfied when it all comes together.

If you like that 'style' of speaker, and Ribbons, I'd suggest a test listen to some 3-series Magnepan.
And with the Maggies, while the Pass works very well, you may like the Bryston 4bsst2, brand new-latest.
I am told that Magnepan uses Bryston as there 'demo' amp at shows.

To the 'list' I'd add a dedicated power line.....or 2, to the new serious system. And while you're at it, save a few Sheckels for room treatments. Even the BEST system would sound crumby in a bad space. Yes, even your Carvers....or Maggies.

Thanks for the suggestion with Maggies. I've heard a few pairs of Maggies and really enjoyed their sound so I will have to look into that model!

and ah room treatments, everything in a set up matters is what I believe, so room treatments will be a must.

Do you guys think though that a pairing of BAT and Pass will mesh well? I've only heard one set up to this day with that pairing but didn't have a lot of time with it to give it a true critical listen.

I'd re-think the Pass/BAT combo. Two different animals IMO. Sure the will play together, but they both are going in a different direction scenically. What about a phono stage?
