Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
Yea, about any amp above 400.00 will work. LOL That is 1990s tech, along with the flat earthers (fuse and cables make no difference crowd).When folks quote "Blind test", Including the name "Carver", BS!!It’s real obvious you don’t know too much ab... 
A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers.
Mercy with kids around you couldn't stay out of the emergency with that one. I can't EVER remember getting cut. I'm not kidding either.Mechanics and cuts go together BUT dash work was a killer for me when my forearms would get to big.. Go get the ... 
Full circle and thinking about speakers
High sensitivity speaker can have a VERY high floor noise, they pick up every issue and let you know about it.. 92-3 is very high. AND as high as I'll go.. It just leaves NO room for valve noise or a cable being just a little to close to a PS or P...

It's not superior, I just like, same way with RtR I hate most of the crap they recorded on RtR. I do have 3 that are wonderful. The Doors, Cream and Chet Atkins. The digital versions are better and higher quality playback.  I play the vinyl remast...

Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby?
CROSSOVER?, Your kids will be running the other way.. CROSSOVER?Start off your will by saying "No listen, no Dough" :-)Explain the more they like it, the more of YOUR stuff they will get. It’s better to learn about the best, to get the most, from ... 
push pull or single ended
I'm going to add, there can be a pretty good amount of weight with most well made valve amps.. The exception is a Crimson-275 Carver. It's still pretty hefty. 25-30 lbs. I think.. You said disabled! Weight and issue?75+ watts per channel 5  year w... 
Building a house
Don’t hit your thumb, it hurts.. I rebuilt my house and doubled the size, added shops and a basement.. I did it all by hand, by reading books and my family’s collective skills. Something about driving 99% of the nails by hand and fixing most of my... 
Should I trust movers with my equipment?
Guys pay attention.. he moved 6+ months ago..To "the Dark Side of the MOON"!!!Yup,  bad reception up there!!Regards 
Newbie question
It's always good to have more than you need, but you got the cart before the horse.. The type of watts you're seeing are typically for BASS work.500-XXXX watt not uncommon. The issue is "GREAT watts", you have on hand.. Say WHAT? 20-100 watts per ... 
Ever wanted to know, what your phono cartridge sounds like dead flat??
Well if I can have it, I'll take TWO...Regards
