I've owned a few of Carvers Valve amps. The Crimson, was little dry for me. I come from a Mac background. The 275 had a ways to go to catch the magic of a MC240, that was just built good, nothing fancy.
It bested my MC275 GG, but not my 1964 MC275.
I didn't have Cary at the time..V12Rs, pretty tough to beat that EL34 sound...I don't think the Carvers could have done it..
I like them a lot like Mac, they don't go threw valves, they last a long time...Have a pretty neutral sound, low distortion, lots of power.
I'm a small planar LS and hybrid/LS guy, if that makes any difference..
Regards
