Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva

VTA180 owner here. Regarding price, I understand manufacture has moved from Tennessee to Kentucky, did the original assemblers and managers make that move?

If these are emoty-via newbies soldering away it would be prudent to advertise that fact if one were to sell.

Like him or not this was probably Bob Carver's least influential designs and organization. Certainly the original company was very responsive and produced good no frills quality while it lasted.

May be least influential designs but one of the best sounding and most reliable amp I've ever heard or owned.

Isn't this old news already. I think this happened 5 months ago. I can't believe people are still talking about this.

Taters, yes of course its old news. The question is regarding current pricing and exactly who is involved with their production, the original people or emotaroids?

Audiozen: Carver got a divorce and the wife got part of the company. Why would he stay at Carver and continue to make money for his ex-wife. Why come up with new designs? That's how Carver eventually folded, if there is such a word! That's how Sunfire came into existence after the divorce. I suppose you're going to say Sunfire is all garbage to! That's the real story of Carver.
