Carver equipement good??


Wondering if Carver amplifiers and preamps were all they were *hyped* up to be back then?
I remember it being higher end stuff when I was younger (1980s, yes best of times!)
Anyway, was it "all that" ?

thanks

I own Carver equipment in the 1980s. It was mid fi on par with the usual stuff at the time.
I was noted for having a lot of wattage for the price. i owned two amps, a 1.0 and a 1.5t
I would not rebuy them today.
I used them with a Hafler Dh110 preamp which was a better midfi preamp in it's day.
That was still the era of large japanese receivers.
The high end was Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Krell, Mark Levinson.
