Bob Caver 275 Power Amp


Thinking about buying this amp like feed back on this unit! At present I Emotiva Xpa 2 Gen 1 and 2 running my Wharfedale Littion and Diamond 250.  Looking to replace one of these with the 275 Caver.

Thanks Wayne

Those emo amps r 150-250. WPC. 300 maybe. 
  While the carver is fine. You may. NEed more power. Only 80 W w the 275. Amp.    Save a little more and buy a. BEtter amp. I have the. Xpa-1 amps. Powerful yes, the much lower powered Odyssey kismet  monos seriously run over them.  Strange yes, they drive my modded cerwin. VegA D-9 pair much better,   Was told better parts, current etc.       I just hear a major difference with the kismets at 4 ohm about 350W. 
Emotiva and Carver in the same sentence just doesn't seem right and surely not to compare.

80 watts per channel with cool running valves are the wonder of Carver. The valves last a LONG time and for the money, TRY to find 80 watts per channel and a warrantee on valves that no one can match..

It's a valve amp not a SS amp.. Surely not an Emotiva.

Apples, Oranges, not even in the same class.. Maybe biamp and use the SS as a the bass amp and the C275 for the mids highs.. You'll think 80 watts per channel..

@jbhiller is another forum member who has written quite a few posts about this amp

it is a very very good unit, excellent sound and ease of use for a very modest cost
