Emo dumps Carver, the Carver site is down.

I did not play Bob as a victim..you missed my point..I am satirizing him as a "victim"..you are the victim's..Bob is 69 years of age and this is another business ploy of his to take down more cash as he retire's..all this was his game plan ahead of time, but it appears it still hasn't sunken in to anyone's skull yet....

Here's the answer...1/3 down the page. So, yeah Bob sold the company.

Best amps by Carver were his solid state amps, Sunfire Signature and the Carver Lighstar 1 and 2 which were designed by Jim Croft.

Conjecture, speculation, no relevant current information, topped with unsubstantiated personal speculation is senseless but have fun.

As customers all we know is the Bob Carver LLC web site announced the sale to Emotiva with little to no information regarding future support of warranted products already sold, any terms of the sale of the company, its assets, intellectual property, or design.

Emotiva announced the purchase and would move production from Kentucky to their Tennessee location. Emotiva would market Carver tube products under their professional line of products. A personal correspondence on 10/08/2013 Emotiva agreed to replace a bad tube if I would submit a product serial number. On 10/16/2013 Laufner made the statement below on his Emotiva Lounge forum. (If anybody has any other facts or quotes please post.)

My two Phase Linear amps endured nine years of extremely hard road use and were sold in working order. Bob Carvers other endeavors and life issues had no bearing on my recent purchase. The tube product is well built and sounds wonderful, I have no regrets. I do have concerns regarding future support.

[[["Hey all,

To clear everything up regarding Emotiva, Bob Carver, and tube amps in
general, here's an update.

First, yes, our professional relationship with Bob Carver is at an end. I
was excited to have had the opportunity to have worked with him.

Second, we're absolutely committed to making tube amps (and other
products) under the Emotiva name, and they're coming to our website in
short order. You'll see them listed under a separate series, like we've
done with the Pro products.

Finally, thank you for bearing with us in this transitional time. We
simply need to work through some details before you see tube amps for
sale on emotiva.com, and we maintain our greatest respect for Bob Carver
and his work, as well as our commitment to providing exciting tube amps
with exceptional value and performance under the Emotiva name.

All the best,
Big Dan"]]]
