Bob Carver tube amps

Hello, looking for Carver amp info the read out there is a little sketchy. Is that place still in business? And who is actually making the amps? Do the have a factory in the Pacific Northwest….I live in the Pacific Northwest so I could drive there if I had a problem.

I need a tube amp for my Klipsch speakers, you tube heads out there is this the brand I should buy or is there a better option?

I can still remember in the 70s when my father in law went to the factory and grabbed me a Phase Linear amp and preamp off the factory floor..I had more problems with that thing, once and a while it made a super load pop when you turned it on..

The greatest issue, concern and potential problem, failure, and breakdown mode of any Carve rproduct is FIRE. He is famous for his flaming amplifiers nicknames "Flame Linear" and "Sure Fire" you will want to be cautious regarding their placement and installation and keep them away from any flammable materials.

None of Carver's businesses last very long he is great on ideas but not much else.
