Best Carver stereo solid state amplifier design


i would like to know what is the best design Bob Carver has made.Is it really considered hifi.What could we compare the sonics of his best designs to.Can we compare his stuff to mark levinson,spectral,krell.Many people are fans of him but we dont hear much about his work in hifi magazines. Does it mean its only good for home theater or what.Anyone out there can answer on the sound quality of his stuff.Any comparisons made to the big league.Thanks pat

I bought a TFM-55 and c-16 preamp right after college. I used them with CV speakers. This was a giant step forward as I left behind a Kenwood receiver and Pioneer tape deck.

I recall the term "MID-FI" being used allot in the early 1990s, but I haven't heard it in a while. It was used on stuff that was too low cost to really be considered a contender. "MID-FI" could be used to brand gear that was better than entry level, but not S.O.T.A - but the term was really a put down too.
