Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review


If any of you GON members are interested in Bob Carver's new mono-block tube amps take a look at my review that was just posted on hometheaterreview.com. It's in the recent short review section on the front page. It was a very interesting experience to compare the Carver's performance with my Pass Labs XA-60.5's.

Hi Mingles....no offense. He always made flash in the pan designs...I used to hear hobbyist (some) speak reverently about him in the 80's, and I'd roll my eyes. It seemed he was always only a marketer, and never a designer of musical taste. Don't mention model #'s to me, or I'll show you a Bose Wave. lol
He's retired several times, only to come back yet again and again. I think this time to sell to the overseas market. Good for him.
The post by the OP just made me chuckle was all.
Another nice review Teajay, good to hear that it didn't unseat your Pass amps, though I wasn't too worried that it would!
Bob Carver made flash-in-the-pan designs?

A lot of designers would like to have his resume.

I've owned several Carver products, including the huge amazing loudspeakers. Those speakers could do things few others could, when set up correctly. He also had some great entry level amps long before companies like Outlaw, Emotiva and Parasound were known.

Agee with Robert! Most people who "hate", have never owned one of his fine Signature amps or even heard them. Ignorance is abound!!
