Are Carver amps worth a damn?

i have a system which I use for both home theatre (70%) and for music. It is comprised of a Theta data basic transport, a Nakamashi cr-2 tape deck, a Marantz AV-550 preamp /tuner, a panasonic dvd player and a proscan vcr. For amplification I have been using 2 Carver TFM-35's and a TFM-15 for the surrounds. I have an unpowered sub so I get 1 channel of 250w to the front 3 and the sub, and 100wpc to the surrounds. For speakers I am using Definitives all the way around. Are the amps my current weak link in this system?

regarding the silver 7's.
No I have never heard them,and if they are great then one
could use the analogy that "even a blind chicken gets a kernel of corn sometimes" overall I think most would agree
that Bob Carver cuts a lot of corners [typically on his power supplies] and his products leave a lot to be desired.
