Carver M 1.5t
There is some older gear that makes sense to consider because of the reputation of the gear or the designer...but that doesn't apply to the Carver...it was trend setting in its time and it sounded decent...but $500 is too much...maybe at $250 I'd ... 
Carver M 1.5t
The M1.5 @ $500 in is the ballpark of what hifi shark says they have sold for...BUT....why buy a potential problem (10 years old) when you can spend less and get a brand new amplifier that will sound as good and probably better, easy resale if you... 
Raven celeste competitors/alternatives
I heard the Raven Celest at the 2020 Florida Audio Show...not sure which Raven amp they were driven by....the show rooms are not great rooms...maybe 15x25....speakers set up on the long wall, seating position maybe 9’ back....they were not polite ...

My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong
I’ve never had a warm up issue with my 2Cherry...sounds the same if it’s been off for 2 weeks or on for 2 hours.  
My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong
If you really believe class d can’t sound good... there are a lot of cherryamp owners that have owned other amps and would disagree. As for one approach to the technology and how to extract good sound... this is an interesting read. https://positi... 
Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system?
Since the mini Lores are pretty high sensitivity, you don't need much power to get them going....so, here is another option that is well reviewed, has a remote, blue tooth connectivity, phono connectivity, and more....total price of speakers and i... 
Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system?
My 2 cents...the system needs to be easy to buy, easy to return, look good, easy to use, phone section, remote and sound good...with those in mind: Cambridge Audio AXA35 Stereo integrated amplifier at Crutchfield Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-... 
Class D for a Tube Lover
Don't ignore all recommendations....BUT realize that we all have our own sense of what sounds "right".  Instead, recognize that everything that has been listed above has a fan and therefore MIGHT meet your needs...but as you know and has been said... 
Class D for a Tube Lover
I'd like to suggest you give one of the Digital Amplifier Company Cherry Amps a try.  They don't use a class d module purchased from a 3rd party, instead they have their own class d circuitry.  There are several versions, all with similar voicing ... 
Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer?
@atmasphere Ralph said "So if you have a balanced output on the preamp and a single-ended input for the sub, the ISO-MAX Jensen box is the elegant solution". Question/clarification...since the ISO-Max transformer has a single ended input and a ...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I suspect the reason for the interest is that maybe Ohm Walsh is the ultimate "mystery speaker".  They have been around for a long time.  Many of the older folks remember the Ohm F and how great it sounded when properly amplified.  Not many have h...
