Crimson 275 amplifier
December D uring Enjoy the Music. Their answers may surprise you! Robert W. Bob Carver is an American designer of audio equipment based in the Pacific Northwest.
Educated as a physicist and engineer, Bob found an interest in audio equipment at a young age. He applied his talent to produce numerous innovative high fidelity designs since the s. He is known for designing the Phase Linear , at Watts per channel the most powerful consumer audio amplifier available in He went on to found the Carver Corporation in , Sunfire in The new owner of The Bob Carver Corporation takes pride in every piece of gear they ship.
At the beginning of , Mr. Malitz brought in EJ Sarmento of Wyred 4 Sound in California, and together, they formed the holding company called Glass Audio which, poetically, will specialize in tube type brands. At the same time, they acquired the exclusive rights to the Bob Carver brand and formed the new Bob Carver Corporation.
EJ runs the factory and functions as president while Frank focuses on market and product development worldwide. Bob Carver remains as chief designer. My father was an operatically trained and sang in the house every day. I was also given a small toy record player at about five years old which was amusing but everything changed later with Elvis Presley. At that point, barely six years old, music, and especially rock and roll, became my life's passion. My brother needed a job, any job, to pay for dental school.
We had already developed a love for popular music and classical as well. When our mother's lady friend told my brother she could get him a part-time job at Allied Radio Corporation, the largest hi-fi dealer in the world, twice the size of their nearest competitor, my brother jumped at the chance. We already had a two cabinet, large blonde, Motorola stereo. We thought it was great. Every night, we would alternate choosing the concert for the evening.
Always classical, an year-old and a year-old, laying on the floor in the dark, going to the special place music takes us. I remember how we discovered that if we towed in the loudspeakers, we suddenly had a soundstage. This was back in the s. My brother was my hero, so I got a job there too. The place was so big, there were six full-time adults in the tape-recorder department alone and two part-timers-- my brother and me.
We loved selling audio so much, that we outperformed, sales-wise, the full-time people! We quickly moved at the general audio sales.
Little by little, the factory representatives got to know us well, knew our sales numbers despite still being college students, and showered us with gifts and cash awards. We were now part of the audio culture and would be for the rest of our lives. The next step was to assemble a true hi-fi system, the mighty Thorens TD with the tonearm from Empire Scientific, a Shure brothers phono cartridge with upgraded stylus, a separate preamplifier and power amplifier from Pilot with a connecting umbilical the preamp use the power supply in the main amp that was a tremendous idea.
The somewhat dull sounding Wharfedale 60 loudspeakers we didn't know any better and they were beautifully made but they came with sand-filled sides and you could stand the nickel on edge and it wouldn't fall down while playing!
I didn't merely become an audio enthusiast; I became a maniac for the music and for the personality of the products. What could be more beautiful than a McIntosh power amplifier to a year-old in ? Without a doubt, the original Quad Electrostatic Loudspeaker; it changed my life.
Through my year career, I was to find that almost all of my favorite designers owned or still actively own that loudspeaker. I was confident that I could handle the endeavor, having been the founder of Onkyo USA in the spring of at 29 years old!. I launched the Integra brand two years later. Bruce Meyer, brought me to Stax for headphone design. I was "drafted" by Acoustic Research, Apogee, Advent, and others for their respective re-launches. So after a lifetime of introducing, marketing, and selling more brands than I can name, when Bob Carver called and asked if I wanted to launch a brand-new Bob Carver company, as his partner, I jumped at the chance.
In fact, despite 17 years working with Yamaha until recently, I decided to focus on the Carver opportunity instead. It's been very exciting and very rewarding emotionally. Being associated with my old friend Bob, is not only an ego booster, but I learned an immense amount traveling the country together. After Bob sold Sunfire, he tried a couple of other endeavors that were stillborn.
They never became real companies, but the basic circuit design was in place. How does one launch a loudspeaker that's 4. That's for one speaker system.
There are hand soldering operations per channel. We couldn't make any money; it was too expensive to produce and the wife acceptance factor was pretty grim. When I set up my samples at home, my wife came into our listening room and asked, "Where are these new speakers you've been talking about?
That's what they looked like. The listening experience was breathtaking, but I closed the loudspeaker division on my birthday June 20, That was our greatest challenge. How you demonstrate this brand? The proper way would be to rent a truck and visit every high-end dealer possible, in person, setting up this enormous system, and doing the demonstration.
It would mean ignoring my other businesses and the expense would be significant. So, the next greatest challenge was adding dealers without an audition! Frankly, without Bob's name on the product, none of this would be possible. We do hi-fi shows.
Besides the loudspeaker system going away, we added an affordable stereophonic power amplifier with the longest tube warranty in the history of the industry, which is 20 times longer to 40 times longer depending on the model than the most famous tube type manufacturers in the world can possibly offer.
Now that we have three basic amplifiers, it's time to introduce the new integrated amplifier, the Crimson i, which should start shipping by Thanksgiving, Without question, our least expensive amplifier-- the Crimson As a tribute to Frank McIntosh, one of Bob Carver's heroes, we called it the but it's 90 Watts per channel, with a five-year warranty including tubes, a five-second bias scheme which any child can adjust for best sound, the ability to repair defective output tubes if an impurity causes a failure, and an expected tube life of 26 years before falling out of specification.
Due to its popularity, since the day it was introduced, there has been a two week to six week waiting list. Currently, it's about two to three weeks but with our new factory on board, our goal is to have same-day shipping. The proved so popular that it increased our visibility exponentially. People were wondering what happened to Bob. Not anymore. Our product is a tribute to the tube-based Stu Hegeman-designed Harmon Kardon Citation power amplifiers, the competing units from Marantz, both from the s and the late great Frank McIntosh.
Tradition is an important part of the audio design as our industry has, time and time again, shot itself in the foot by implementing complex technologies for better-measured performance while sacrificing the listening experience. Aside from our traditional styling, manufacturing amplifiers that repair defective tubes, need no re-tubing for years, listens to the room to preserve openness and ambiance with a very large soundstage while maintaining pinpoint imaging, and finally, building everything by hand, is consistent with the philosophy of those distinguishing marques.
As a direct result, we are the only audio company from the United States to be invited to the 50 year Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Bentley Club anniversary celebration. The Queen of England will be paying her respects. The Crimson 's performance is so strong that we have been commissioned to build one Volt for the Dean of British reviewers Ken Kessler. This is not a unit provided for review.
He's paying for it out of his pocket. The became a cult product in Great Britain before we had a single dealer. It is indeed our most popular offering. We have several: 1 The Crimson i Integrated Amplifier featuring W per channel with the ability to parallel for double power.
Details to follow. Our team includes possibly the best known digital audio designer in the industry. Although we are strictly analog with no digital circuitry in any of the products described thus far, we realize the necessity of not only participating in the digital world but based on Bob's history, innovating as well.
I don't want to say too much right now but we are working on a tube DAC with no mass-produced DAC to avoid obsolescence. We are also studying devices that may allow us to produce hybrid amplifiers with a tube front-end based on the architecture but driving a unique and unusual digitally processed solid-state output stage in excess of Watts per channel.
Stay tuned. What advancements do you speculate high-end audio will offer ten years from now? We think it's obvious that convenience and accessibility will be key factors but all we really care about is sound, even if it means depending on another manufacturer's products for consumer convenience.
If we cannot demonstrate a compelling listening experience, we have no reason to exist. We choose to leave that to Apple and Silicon Valley because we have no choice; let them provide convenience and we will provide the performance. Demonstrating the Amazing Line Source loudspeaker across the country and even in foreign lands, illuminates immediately the shortcomings of direct radiating point source loudspeakers.
A true line source provides a cylindrical wave launch that emanates from negative infinity to positive infinity and that will provide you with a greater amount of immersion and envelopment than you will ever hear from a single pair of point-source loudspeakers.
Companies like Magnapan, Martin Logan, Sound lab, Sanders Sound, and others are to be congratulated for their attempts at filling your room with a soundstage, an immersive soundstage, that is almost unavailable with conventional designs.
We don't expect 7. Temporarily, we often turn to multichannel systems, now including the ceiling, to create immersion and openness. That architecture cannot survive.

Hell, Denon, Klipsch, and Ortofon have had classics in production for more than a half-century. What was good last Tuesday will still be good next Tuesday, no matter what is introduced in the interim. By that, I mean the speakers should be able to do justice to a new, more powerful amp; conversely, the original amp should cope with a speaker upgrade. The phono stage and tonearm must accommodate whatever cartridges I wish to use. Instead, I always preferred balance.
