Carver Silver 7t's

WOW! WOW! and WOW!

I have listened to several amplifiers in my 6 years of this passion and I must say, for a solid state amp, the 7t's are dynamite! At about 16 pounds, these little babies kick out 585W @ 8 ohms, some ridiculous amount with the speakers I am running!

I have owned and listened to several amplifiers from McIntosh MC-300, MC-352, and MC-500, to Citation 7.1, Krell KSA-250, Plinius 250III, BAT VK-500, PSE Studio V's, and I must say I do put the 7t's right up there with the best of these!

I am using a Runco LJR for my CD and believe it or not, the Chiro C-800 as my preamp all through the B&W 801II (for what it is worth, I prefer the II to the III).

The 7t's are VERY warm, open, and a HUGE soundstage. I am not sure how this amplifier functions so well, but it is very light and has incredible power, quick, and very accurate and truly raises the stage!

Anyone else have these impressions or have I listened to the music too long and too loud, now heading towards deafness?

JAMESWEI and SEAN !!

Thanks for the GREAT insight! These amplifiers have a very warm sound and it makes sense now. I am pleasantly surprised that years later these amplifiers can still sound so good.

I also understand he tried to make his $40K amps into a commercial one to compete (with mags?) and is the 7t's that amplifier?

How does an amplifier that weight about 16 pounds do it?

Thanks again!
