Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva

Dracule1..for the record, you state "In the end Bob did not have control over the bean counter's who wanted to maximize profits" is completely false. Heres the facts. Bob Carver went into equal partnership in the 90's with Jim Kropf, co-founder and owner of Definitive Audio in Seattle. Several years into the partnership Jim attempted to kick Bob out of Carver due to a failing company claiming he owned the patent rights to the schematics of the Lightstar amplifier and owned the Carver trademark. Bob filed a lawsuit in Federal court against Jim and was not allowed to use the Carver name for several years until the case was over so he used the name Sunfire instead. Bob won the lawsuit and was awarded back the Carver name and the Lightstar patents. It had nothing to do with bean counters, just poor business choices that Bob made which resulted in a business war with his partner Jim Kropf.

Audiozen, You have an unhealthy obsession with Bob. Seek professional help. You'll get no more response from me.

Bob Carvers 305 have gone down to 4000 a pair, from 12000++ this is a Joke!!!!

You guys do know, that bobs amps were being sold for 12000++ now its selling for 3990.00 US dollars ahahahahahahaah I paid shit loads for mine. Now I cant even sell it

The $4000 price is PER AMP. I got this reply when I inquired about the new price:

"Thanks for your interest in our Black Beauty 305 amplifier. These units are priced individually at the $3995 price."
