Carver Crimson 275 tube amp


I have searched for owners' impressions of this amp, but have found none.  I have never owned a Carver component, but have always admired his genius.  I would like to pair a tube amp with my Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters and recently heard Don Sachs Kootenay KT88 amp, along his bespoke preamp, and was extremely impressed.  Compared to my Platinum-upgraded McCormack DNA .05 ss amp, the sound was even more fleshed out and 3-dimensional.  The SQ difference was far from subtle... and I loved it.   

I was clear with Jim Clark when I ordered the amp that the comparison of the Crimson 275 would be to the Kootenay so if I don't think it is the equal of it, I will return it.  Stay tuned for my listening impressions in a couple of weeks.

What are some of the advantages the crimson 275 has over the Don sachs katooney?
Well, this thread is over three month old and nobody has yet responded who owns a Crimson amp.  I note that the Crimson amp only 19 lbs and Don's amp is around 65 lbs.  Presumably the Crimson has much longer tube life.  Nobody seems to know why.  
Don't own one, but am waiting to hear more about the Crimson amps.

They last long because he runs the tubes cool, have read can touch when operating. Backs it up with 5 year warranty for 275 and 10 year for 350.
Hi Guys,
The Crimson 275 sounds almost exactly like the larger 350 watt mono-blocks. It has a strong and well controlled low end. Its detailed in the mids and highs but is smooth and never edgy. The soundstage detail is fantastic. It has nice tonal balance imho and the mid range is accurate. Female voices sound sweet but never overly thick, like in some of the vintage tube gear. It really has the best parts of tube audio without the high tube maintenance and heat output. I have sold them all over the world (Switzerland, Israel) with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. No-Restocking fee. They don’t come back. In stock. Free shipping in the USA.. Try it at home. If you don’t love it, just send it back. See my site w/ secure store or call..
Jim Clark, there is another recent thread started by d2girls, reading : " Tube Amp for JBL 4367 ". Could you post the same there, as it would be helpful. Thx, Enjoy ! MrD.
