Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
Hello everyone, In our three labs, we all get around 75 watts @ 1% or less, 90 @ 2%, etc.  From Jordon Gerber, ex-partner, degreed physicist and co-founder: The units are about 75 to 90 watts depending on the measurement technique. . I kept a re... 
A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true?

I am Frank Malitz, owner of the Bob Carver Company. I should be addressing capacitor and resistor questions. But, I would like to respond to phantom. here’s what he said about my company:"I used to own the Black Beauty, It ran very difficult speak...

UPDATE:1) Ken Kessler, possibly the dean of the British audio press, just ordered a 275 for his own use.  2) The Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Aston Martin Owner's Club selected The Bob Carver Corp products as the only US audio brand to combine the tr... 
Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO
I would rather not dominate the thread but I thought you might like to know that I scrupulously avoid talking about the performance of our products on these types of forums. I think that’s for you to discover. That’s why I stuck to the legal issue... 
Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO
I myself have used the phrase, "putting out fires" for years. As the founder of Onkyo and Integra in the United States, imagine what I went through when they started using cheap power supplies in the early 80s and suddenly the most reliable produc... 
Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO
It's time for me to jump in. I have to warn you that I'm rather upset. I've been accused of being overly sensitive but it's primarily because of so much incorrect mythology about my partner; I find myself defending him far too often and it's alway... 
Carver Crimson 275 tube amp
Just to clarify, although my partner was able to duplicate, precisely, the sound of iconic Mark Levinson and Conrad Johnson premier power amplifiers, the 275 character is not based on someone else's amplifier. The original Silver Sevens were an as...

I'm terribly interested too! As an experiment, we tried the 275 on the Amazing Line Source loudspeaker which has a sensitivity of 82 or 83. At home, I use the 350s and wouldn't mind more power when I'm really cranking. I'm going to bring in a set ... 
Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated
I'm a bit late here, but we voice the 275 to sound identical to the 350s which sound very much like our top-of-the-line silver seven 900s. Using Bob's transfer function testing, we can make all the amplifiers sound identical. They are all based on...

I'd better jump in here. This will be a very long post because I'm addressing several issues. At the outset, please accept my apologies. My eyes glass over when I see long posts.I own the Bob Carver company along with Bob and our young partner, de... 
Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated
The tubes in the Crimson 275 are warranted for five years. Our competitors give three months. Prima Luna, an excellent product, gives six months. The tube checker is built into the amplifier. You can check your neighbors' tubes at full operating p...

Lancelot,A little thin? If there's anything we're guilty of, it's too much low end, especially if Bob's there. He LOVES big bass. Fortunately,it's completely adjustable, of course.We're like kids with car audio. Can't help but kick a little ass. P...

Hi guys,No commercial blather here bragging about performance (I'm Frank Malitz, partner and CEO of the Bob Carver Corp). Never believe anyone; listen for yourself. Instead, I have a few comments about the shows we attend and our unusual policies....

KNGHiFi,Had you or your brother spoken with Bob directly at that time, he would've been delighted to send out free tubes. Unfortunately, with the Emotiva situation being stillborn, Bob had little to say about anything. The company never came toget...
