I was looking at the same amplifiers to drive my Eidolons and settled on these because of their power, ability to handle difficult loads, build quality and location, and features. Read the Olsher review carefully especially the chapter, "The Circuit." Tim de Paravicini and Carver's partner Bob Farinelli did a large part of the design and refinement.

This was the least expensive place to purchase them new that I found. Unfortunately, I haven't taken deliver until 7/21-25 / 2012. I have an MFA D75 on hand to compare directly when they do arrive.
