Anyone here into old Carver stuff? Messages: I'm curious what you guys think of older SS Carver gear, be it amps or speakers. Does anyone has a soft spot for their stuff?
Years ago I had a CM integrated amp. Although I have no use for one anymore, every time one shows up on Ebay in decent shape I consider nabbing it for my bedroom system I really liked the Carver Amazing Loudspeakers.
Seems like they were had equal numbers of admirers and haters. Rob Babcock , Dec 17, Messages: 7, Location: San Antonio, Texas. I really like the old Carver stuff. I use to have a C1 pre, TXa tuner and m1. I sold it after getting my Martin Logan CLS speakers, as the amp couldn't handle the current draw of the electrostats without going into clipping at higher volumes.
Now, I run a Ax and Ax in my home theater for the mains and subs. So, you could say I like Carver stuff. Wardsweb , Dec 17, Messages: 12, Location: Near Lafayette, Indiana. I'm currently running a C-1 preamp. Messages: 13, Location: Kashkabouin wannabe.
The only piece of Carver gear i've owned was the Carver Receiver I really enjoyed that amp and regret getting rid of it. In all my time of thrifting and pawnshoping, it's still the only Carver gear i've seen in this part of the world. BroonsBane , Dec 17, Messages: Location: Dallas TX.
Have a TFM I like very much. CortR , Dec 17, Messages: 3, Location: Madison,WI. I have a TFM in my bedroom system wpc iirc. The bass isn't as tight as a Kenwood M-1a I used to have up there but it sounds nice with my Adcom GTP and some nice efficient Jamo 14 bass reflex speakers from about ' The big beef I have with the amp is that the construction quality is shoddy. Its a Korean model and the lack of QC shows in the case and solder quality.
This amp was a curbside rescue that was a victim of counterfeit transistors. Some knockoff outputs were installed and that took out a bunch of other components. They used three pairs of outputs on each channel.
Many former Carver amp owners ditched them due to issues when driving difficult loads. Some people swear they sound great while others run out of synonyms for crap when describing them. I take the middle ground. They can drive a stable 8 ohm speaker to the breaking point and sound great doing it but don't try any funky loads or it'll sound like mud.
It was for precisely the above reason that I now have a Kenwood m. That monster can make speakers you've written off snap to attention. The Carver just didn't have the oomph. Last edited: Dec 17, I wonder if anybody here owns the fabled Carver "cube", can't remember the model number. This was Bob's first "Carver" brand product back in Incredibly small for the power output claimed. There's a Carver Cube thread here -- Foe. Messages: 12, Location: Exit 5 on the Jersey Turnpike.
The cube was the Mt. I never had a cube amp, but I have had Mt, M1. I don't have the M1. I've had C-1, C-2, C, and C preamps. I don't have the C-1 or C-2 anymore. I've had TXa and TX tuners. I don't have the TX anymore. I also had a Carver "Receiver " but I don't have that anymore. I bought the Amazing Platinum Mk. IV loudspeakers in and I still have those. Most of the stuff I don't have anymore I gave to my brother-in-law.
Toasted Almond , Dec 17, Messages: Location: Jacksnville, FL. I have 2 of the cubes and run them in mono mode - they sound great. Only trouble I have had is that one side of the light display has stopped working in one. Works very well for that. Not exactly "vintage," as it's THX cert'd and one of the last Carver products produced before they closed.
Messages: 4, Location: Iowa. I like Carver stuff and also the first stuff that Bob came up with, Phase Linear. I plan on being a fan for a long time. Adios, Scott. Gibsonian , Dec 18, Messages: 1, Location: CA.
I used to have a Lightstar Reference amp. There were only 72 built then Carver started to build the much inferiror Lightstar 2. The problem is it takes almost an hour to warm up and is heavy like hell.
Messages: 46 Location: Rockford, IL. Carvers, ya either love 'em or hate 'em. I seldom see or hear any middle ground.
My experience listening to store set ups was that Bob Carver was right up there with Amar Bose at hype marketing. They did not seem well made and perhaps the reason you see so few for sale is so many died and were never repaired. Lookingglass , Dec 18, My Ax is damn ballsy running my subs.
I originally used the W amp made for them, but the Carver just has more slam. It does seem like they had build quality issues, but I can't complain about mine. Rob Babcock , Dec 18, Sorry to chime in so late Let's see You know, I hear people complain about the reliability of them but I really have to wonder. Of all the Carver products that I've owned, I've only had to have one piece repaired. There seems to be an awful lot of Carver gear in circulation, much of it more than 2 decades old TroyD , Dec 24, Messages: Location: Pacific NorthWest.
