Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated

I have a Platinum modified McCormack DNA .05 and a Pass Labs First Watt F5 with which I drive my Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Triode Master speakers.  I have sworn off tube amps in the past, but I am intrigued with this new amp from Bob Carver.  Wally Underwood as well as Jimclarkstereo in Illinois are now selling them for about $2500.  I have never doubted Bob Carver's audio engineering genius.  I would be keen to get a 75 wpc tube amp and the price seems very reasonable compared to similarly-powered tube amps.    

I would be interested to hear what you lads think of this new amp.  Thanks for any input you can provide.

Carver current amps are completely amazing!
easy to bias, great warranty, hand wiring, no boards to flash out, and no fire hazard like sunfire, phase linear, etc.

 they are top tier amps made by one of audios royalty!

 If I had the scratch, the 350’s would be in my home!

While I love these Carver tube monoblocs, I would not spend the money for a measley 75 watts. Sell stuff, o save a bit more for the crimson 350s’
 
  You will need the headroom

 nod you will be much happier. 
 Just ask @ozzy. 
Wish I had the scratch for the crimson pair, they would have been bought and in my system long time ago.
