Bob Carver Going Direct.

I own some of his SS gear: a Phase Linear 400 and preamp, a TFM 15cb, a M400 cube amp and The Cube sub. Oh, plus the Carver Receiver! All good stuff!

@jasonbourne52 You think Bob is just cashing out?

haha -- bob carver is 79 years old, if he doesn’t cash out now, when will he?

@nyc_ben : No - but I think he'd like one last statement product to be remembered by. I wonder how good those 20 - tube monoblocs are? 900 watts! I wish he would bring back the Amazing Loudspeaker from the early 90's! They were jaw-dropping good! And $3K a pair!

Hopefully this is in reaction to the poor build quality of the Crimson 275 which was farmed out to Wyred 4 Sound/Glass Audio. This was revealed in a previous thread in which the OP discovered a PCB glued in place, fuse improperly located, and poor grounding scheme. I’ll bet there were others who complained to Carver about this.

We were told that Bob is semi-retired, I agree with @jasonbourne52 that Bob didn’t want this to be his legacy. He needed to take back control of his product. I hope all these 275 amps are recalled and repaired. I'm a Bob fan and I know he always stood behind his products, especially in later years.
