Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva

From the Bob Carver LLC Facebook site:

Some of you may have heard that Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva. It is true and a very exciting development for the company. We will remain a "Made in the USA" brand of Bob Carver designed products. There are lots of good things to come!!

And continuing with the wife analogy, Emotiva married Sherbourn to use her rep and contacts as a way to gain influence. But it seems that oil and water do not mix, (Emo even tried an affair with TacT on the side)so she was cast aside when she couldn't make them any money, and trophy wife Carver came along!

Doesn't anybody marry for love anymore?
Iv had some bad tubes from bob carver, Kept making a popping noise and some blue lights would appear during this frantic moments. I reported it to Dan and the staff no response yet. If I don't get a response within 5 days I assume they are not really supporting the 1 year tube warranty and the 5 years unit warranty.
24h365..Your full of crap. As I already stated, Sunfire emerged during the lawsuit between Bob and Jim Kropf in Federal Court in Seattle since Bob was not allowed to use the Carver trademarked name until the trial was over due to litigation. The trial went on for years. Having lived in the Seattle area since Bob founded Phase Linear in 1968 keeps us Audiophiles in Washington State on the inside track with Bob since we grew up with him here in the Northwest.
Azee, lighten up...

Your support of a locally produced product and the resultant dissatisfaction is clearly understandable and you paid for the privilege to share your opinion regarding the products you own. By now it should be equally clear that Bob Carver Tube Amplifiers LLC was a collaborative design and business that has produced a line of products that has been well received by seasoned audio hobbyist and not simply the typical entry level Emo customer.

Considering his age the sale of the company is understandable to me. While warrantee support maybe questionable the product is so well built in the old school tradition that, if needed, most third party repair should be straight forward.
