The amp is new so you probably won't find much feedback on it. I'd call Carver and see what they tell you. Have them compare the sound to the 350s because there is more comment available
on those.
Carver Crimson 275 tube amp
I have searched for owners' impressions of this amp, but have found none. I have never owned a Carver component, but have always admired his genius. I would like to pair a tube amp with my Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters and recently heard Don Sachs Kootenay KT88 amp, along his bespoke preamp, and was extremely impressed. Compared to my Platinum-upgraded McCormack DNA .05 ss amp, the sound was even more fleshed out and 3-dimensional. The SQ difference was far from subtle... and I loved it.
I was clear with Jim Clark when I ordered the amp that the comparison of the Crimson 275 would be to the Kootenay so if I don't think it is the equal of it, I will return it. Stay tuned for my listening impressions in a couple of weeks.
