Thanks to all!
George - I'm not happy with "a bit of compromise" at all. Are you thinking something along the lines of Pass Labs monoblocks?
A Shockingly Straightforward Query
Good morning to the Community! I am in the market for new amplifiers and have it narrowed down to the Bob Carver 350s or the Theta Prometheus. The selected amps will be driving a pair of Martin Logan 11A speakers. I have heard that the Carver monoblocks are a good fit for my speakers but am still impressed with the Prometheus.
I am intentionally excluding the rest of my gear as I simply don’t want to make this question more complex than it already is. In addition, the option to audition these amps is not feasible.
PLEASE – no haters or flamers!
So, Carver or Theta? Thanks and a great weekend to all!!

What I did to decide on the ’best amp for the speakers I want’ was to ask what most other owners of the particular speaker used. For my (Magnepan 3.6) speaker (back in 2010 when I asked) the answer was overwhelmingly Bryston. So lucky for me my dealer sold both Magnepan and Bryston. What I would suggest is doing some Google searches with your speaker name and see what others are using. You may find a consensus. or at least a few most liked brand and models of amplifiers. |
