Hi All,I would like to know if these would work well together. These speakers are hard to drive, but I really would like to switch to tube amps, and these seem to be the minimum I would want to use wattage wise, that is within my budget.Not much info out there on the Carvers
Plenty of power, big transformers, with some drive. You are talking about a pair of the 350 monos for your 802d speakers, correct? If so, I'd call Carver and ensure you get a worthy preamp to drive the monos properly.
I'm sure your speakers are (as decooney say a great pre amp like an Octave 10 Audio) worthy of the 350s (Emma and Sheena) are my pair. They will drive those speakers like a rented mule (no animal cruelty meant) Call Frank or Bob. If you need a Phone # pm me BestMark
@decooney. In best Mandalorian voice. “This is the way”
those Carver 350s’ are amazing, plenty of power! Get a reference on a great preamp, probably solid state to balance and tighten the bottom end just a smidge. Great idea! Sounds like you know what you want!?!!
Enjoy,
when you have a couple weeks of listening, chime back, let us know how great your stereo sounds/feels.
