Bob Carver made his name by duplicating the audio qualities of high end amps in equipment that would sell for a fraction of the cost. He had offered a challenged 2 well known audio magazines: Give me an amp and I'll duplicate it's sound without cracking the cover. He successfully duplicated $12,000 amplifiers with equipment he would eventually sell for $600-$1200 and passed blind listening tests by both magazines.

They are out of business. This site is a tribute. I’m trying to get all the specs and pics I can find and make them searchable.
Nice site. Well thought out. I notice you have no info on the M-500t !
I’m still working on this day by day. I’m pretty sure I have that and I’ll take it as a request. 🙂

Hi
I’m writing an article on a big show staged recently in Saudi Arabia and the sound rental company’s gear list includes Carver P42O amps…. I queried the model and they say that they are old amps, but NOT PM-420…. was there ever a P420 power amp by Carver?
I just purchased a used PM 1.5 and it is different then the usual models available. It has two extra knobs for “RMS Output Voltage”. Have you ever seen one of these amps and do you have any information on this different model?
I have a carver A400-x amp.It turns on but has no output.I can here switch on and a green power light turns on.Do I have to use a carver preamp.How can iI get a manual.By the way this is a greatsite.

I have just purchased a C9 sonic holography unit to go with my mxr130 does anyone have the rack handles that go with it for sale
I have a church in my area that I’m doing a sound system upgrade for, and they have what I believe is one of your Model WM-200t power amplifiers driving the main speakers. I couldn’t find any owner’s manual for it on your website. It may be an older model and discontinued, so I was wondering if you might have a manual for this power amp, in pdf format, that you could send to me, so that I can determine if it still can be used in the new system? The church doesn’t seem to be able to find the original owner’s manual for the amp. Thank you very much for your time and help with this matter.

hello-
I have 2 m-1.5t’s in need of repair and need a fuse for a av-705x. any help ? mike
I too have an M1.5T that “pops” continuously. 25 years ago the same thing happened, and I had it locally repaired. “Both channels rebuilt and realigned.” I had obtained these parts: G2R or 62ohm, MPS U60, MPS 8097. They also installed C10000 x5 and C11000 x2, 2SB600, 2SD555, and 39K x2. It worked great for another 25 years. I too wish to repair mine again. Any ideas welcome.
Does anyone know where I can find a Silver Seven T? I have one that is perfect that I’ve had since 91. I’d like to find another one. What would one cost?
I also have a M 1.5t that has the same popping sound in the right channel after its been on for a while. I had it repaired 15 years ago, but it didn’t last. The whole system has been sitting ever since. I’d love to get it fixed. My system rocked, no doubt!
My friend is lookig for a Carvin Amplifier HT-760M.
Can you help him find one? Please contact me, via email, or Roy Anthony at his phone # 760 636-9488. Thank you!

I’m searching for an MXR 2000 face and remote control. Other parts could also be of interest. Many thanks.

I need the Carver CT6 manual. Can you give me a price? One of the best sounding tuner sections I’ve heard. Do you agree?
I own a Carver receiver and a TFM15cb amp. Both have worked well over the years with no problems. Speakers used were: KLH Nine’s, Ohm Sound cylinder’s, Janzen electrostats. Sound quality was excellent – I felt no need to change! Still have both units in fine working condition! FYI both were purchased used at a local Goodwill for not much money! I give the Carver products high marks for sound quality and reliability!
My dad bought some gear from you guys yes ago and I was just asking if by chance would you have any record of the gear he bought back in the early 80s his name is William Reid sonne Sr known as big bill sonne if so can you help me out on witch stuff he bought thanks

Why do we not bring back company? We whom love Carver should invest in what we love. Suggestion.
I think it is good day to recreate devotion to American made products.
I bought Carver sound system 25 years ago, still works. Spent $15k. It was expensive but lasted long time.
To often we sell American companies to Chinese investors they take ideas and patents then move offshore. Build lousy copies sell cheap. Lasts one day past warranty. Sorry do not buy Chinese products even if cheap. I would rather buy quality. I bough Chinese equipment lasted 1 month. I think many have gotten tired of crappy cheap service.
I hope we bring back brand.
