| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jjss49 I’m pretty angry about it. I’ve owned Carver made gear in the past. I’m angry because I really admired his designs. I “believed” in him. I defended him in conversations about his career and products. It bothers me because I’ve looked him i... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier What a massive steaming pile of non-committal dodging. I sincerely hope every 275 is returned for a full refund… then they can remarket them as the “Brown -120 watt amp” that’s only missing 120 of its advertised watts. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @ozzy62 thanks man, you’re a gentle sweetheart of a guy. Maybe there are some puppies you can kill or someone’s grandma you can push down some stairs? | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jbhiller That’s a great offer. I live in Florida so not feasible. As mentioned I came super close to buying this amp. My speakers are 86db 3 ohm and in a 30 by ..60ish room with 13 ft ceilings. It would have been a disaster. I came from two Carve... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I’m bothered by the view point that we should just gloss over the big covers over little 15w trannies or it making less than 25% of what its advertised to make because a few can still enjoy it with super efficient speakers in little rooms. So thei... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Oh you mean 4.5x more power… but in two channels with bass frequencies? Yeah, I’m sure the next one will do all that. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier A couple of other forums that are discussing this subject have noticed this thread. Jbhiller’s shared experience about his transformer is now out there to add to this. It’s funny how all the threads go in a circle about “We’ll,…. It sounds goo... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Nobody so far thats independent of Carver affiliation, is getting even 60 watts per channel. Yes they should have used a bigger power supply and maybe gotten a realistic 20 wpc. That would have been possibly a decent marketable product. But hey, i... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jbhiller from reading your posts in this thread I have a strong impression that you look for the good in others and are peaceable, and reasonable. I admire that. Don’t change. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Actually I found four production trucks being made in 2022 making 1000hp. I knew they were out there but I didn’t know the were rare and limited runs. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @thecarpathian edited for your peace of mind. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a34412909/2022-gmc-hummer-ev-revealed/ https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a14418167/diesel-suburban-engine-swap-conversion/ | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jbhiller those are nice respectful words… but it’s not a two-way street. One man buys a top of the line loaded diesel powered $75,000 pick up truck because he really likes the looks of it and just needs to cruise to work and back and around town.... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I’m very sorry @jbhiller. I feel for you. You were promised with published specs by a assumed reliable builder with a famed reputation. I believed in him too. You mentioned “The Big Room”.. I came very very close to buying two to vertically bi-amp... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier My guess is it’s the same parts. Don’t care if he provided a cushion in slipping in the they were 35 wpc examples or not. I bet they are exactly the same parts. Same weight still..They had Mr. Carver there approving every step, they used the same ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier So our answer is.. “here’s referrals that say it sounds great” and “we measured 75 to 90..” That isn’t proof. Stats should be provable. If I’m a huge heel, if I just don’t get it, ok. I’m not the brightest bulb, but I’d like to be shown how 75 wat... |
