I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company

Hope it will not ruin Bob's products, have great deal of respect for his old and new products especially those made in the USA.

For the money and even beyond Emotiva's products are solid gear. Perhaps the pairing will be good for all.

I am sure everyone here knows Emotiva equipment is made in china!, If you do not, you know now!, this is a traverstry!,,, Bob Carver equipment may start being made in china!,, the only way I believe this acquisition will benefit us at all is if they some how come together and manufacture everything in the u.s.a.,,this is very doubtfull to me since we all know as well that the labor and the over all cost in china is cheaper than in the u.s.a.,, so to me,,, My opinion, Bob Carver equipment may be doomed! cheers!

Probably will turn into more junk made in China.

Audiolabyrinth, bravo! Very well said, I couldn't agree more.

1) We shouldn't be dismissing gear just because it is built in China. There is some excellent gear being made in China these days. True, there is also some poor quality audio gear being made there too. All a matter of quality control and quality design.

2) According to Emotiva, the Carver tube gear will be built in TN.

Let's wait and see what the tube amps sound like and how they are priced before we start jumping to conclusions.
