Carver Raven 350 Amps

ozzy,I knew you would love them, they made a huge difference in mine even though Carver does install very good tubes.  Get 100 hrs on them and you'll love them even more.  Thank God that the bob-father is still going strong because the tubes are nothing w/out the amps that came out if his head.  To all out there that would never spend $9500 on a set of monos, I understand that's a lot of money so take a look at the Carver 275 that came out of Mr C's head $2750 and they'll hold their own sound wise at anything in the lower 5 figure range.  You just get less power that ozzy and I have.  If Jim has a demo at Axpona on that it just might leave with me.

A little late to the party, but I want to add that I am currently using a pair of the4 Raven 350s to power Sound Lab A1-PX panels with tremendous results.   I have tried almost everything to power these beasts (Pass Labs 250.8 and 350.5, Veritas Monoblocks, Conrad Johnson LP125M, McIntosh 2300, Classé, Parasound, etc....) and the Carvers are the best.  Very natural. Not dark at all in my opinion.  Come listen if you are in Las Vegas.

dlee999,

Good to know. I'm still digging my Carver's.

Simpleman68,
Read your post on the Bob Carver 350's and you mentioned the Wavelet (with Legacy Aeris) has a hard time with many tube amps. I have the original 305's and was going to buy the Legacy Aeris and Wavelet until I read your post. Can you give me any more info why the Wavelet is not good with tube amps. Thanks!

Just wonderin' what bias setting is preferred with the Carvers 350's.
