Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly

Is anyone in the Audiogon community using the Bob Carver 180 mono-blocks? I just placed a new pair in my system and I am really amazed at their performance. I am using them with the PS Audio PWD/PWT, First Sound MK-III and Tyler Acoustics D1 speakers. The price to performance ratio is outstanding. The Bob Carver 180's are producing an extremely clean, clear and open sound-stage. I can safely say they will compete with mono-blocks costing much more.

Hi Dracule1. Will give my opinions on the input tubes I have shortly!
Just wondering which Gold Point Stepped Attenuators go with the Bobs. There's quite a few choices. Thanks again!

Jeff, the output coupling caps are 0.22 uF. There is a feedback cap in there that is 2.2 uF. All you have to do is pop the hood and check.

Vmhf, you need two MiniV, 100 kOhm, mono version. $79 each.

After rereading the manuals Warrantee the idea of voiding a seven year warrantee gives me second thoughts of incredibly intriguing modifications. Enjoy.
