carver reciever and power amp


my son has a carver receiver and power amp. his amp is the 350 watt per chanell amp. I've read some reviews that carver's rating is not really true. any comments on this?

Both were bought from a local GW, so past history unknown. $180 for the Receiver and $25 for the TFM15cb. And last year I bought another Receiver from an eBay seller at a fair price (can't remember!).
I should have mentioned that I have a 300W Carver amp from the 90's that served me well. I kept it for use as a backup amp.
  I also owned one of Bob's Sunfire amps. That was one of Carver's great designs.

+1 lowrider57! The Sunfire amp is another great product from Bob! A real challenger to all the big-bucks boutique amps! 
I love my Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature II. For an almost 20 year old amp there's not much on the current market and certainly nothing in the price range(that I paid) that I would trade it for...
I bought a !.0t back in the 80's at the PX. Its been running ever since till this day. Runs 24 hours doing light duty in the garage.
