thanks everyone for all the info.
that sounds a lot like today's class G amplifiers
Yes it sounds like it, but not really, since there is no digital circuitry involved.

I always liked Carver amps. The first thing I think of when I see Carver is, Carvers Amazing Loudspeaker.

Me, I remember the cube amp. I always liked the idea of Carver.
Bob Carver, it seemed, had that ability to look at a problem and find a path to a solution that no one else had traveled.
Might we be looking at the same thing here with the new M100?

Might we be looking at the same thing here with the new M100? I just read the thread on the "as yet unnamed" omnidirectional speaker / DSP creation and yes, it sure sounds like it! Very cool! Next, I think Axiom should look into bringing this efficient amplifier technology back! Sure would fit in with the current times IMHO where less bulk and higher efficiencies rule...hmmmm...the new speaker requires extra amp channels... whaddaya think Axiom brain trust??? The only odd component is the "magnetic field coil". Since the "BobFather" is on to ultra hi-end tube stuff, maybe he'd give up the patent cheap?!?!

Might we be looking at the same thing here with the new M100? I have one of those little Carver cube amps. 201 watts per channel in to 8 ohms. Still works fine but I should probably send it in to be redone. MarkyM, any suggestions as to where I might be able to get this reworked? I also have a Carver cd player from the late 80's that works just fine.

You got it Rick, but then, when the caps and capacitors need fixin', you gotta send it in and fix it up for me! I tell ya, it sure does a hell of a job making the M80's pound when I get the notion to hook them up to it. Plus, it is fun to watch the LED lights bounce up and down when it is cranked up.

I hear ya Mark. I have an older HH Scott receiver with vector tuning and power meters. I still use that one as well with one of my pairs of M3's. Takes me back to my college days!

I'd love to get a big ass vintage amp with some VU meters.
