Seeking Opinions/Stories from Carver Crimson 275 Owners

Wow!  It's quiet out there.  The Carver Crimson 275 owners must be enjoying the tunes so much that they are offline :).  

In case folks do chime in, I'm looking for opinions on those who own them, have own them or have spent some good time listening to them. I don't want to start a debate about Bob Carver.  I'd rather assume, for the purpose of this thread, that Bob knows what he's doing.  

I've owned a few of Carvers Valve amps. The Crimson, was little dry for me.  I come from a Mac background. The 275 had a ways to go to catch the magic of a MC240, that was just built good, nothing fancy.

It bested my MC275 GG, but not my 1964 MC275.

I didn't have Cary at the time..V12Rs, pretty tough to beat that EL34 sound...I don't think the Carvers could have done it..

I like them a lot like Mac, they don't go threw valves, they last a long time...Have a pretty neutral sound, low distortion, lots of power.

I'm a small planar LS and hybrid/LS guy, if that makes any difference..

Regards

Oldhvymec,  that's exactly the intel I was looking for!  Just seeking folks' personal experiences.  I'd really like to hear this amp and compare it to Primaluna offerings. 

I had one for a while. I think it's a really good amp and you can tune the sound to your taste by changing the bias. It offers a lot of performance for the money.
