I really don't know from Carver. My 3.6s LOVE the InnerSound ESL amp (600WPC @ 4 ohms). Clean, very open at the top and control at the bottom, it runs hot when I'm cranking but never a problem. I've seen used for $1500. HTH.
Powering my Magnepan 3.0's
I bought a pair of Factory refurbished 3.0's knowing they needed a shit load of power. I bought a Carver 1200 Watt M1.5t Mangnetic Field Amplifier. 600 RMS Watts per channel. Max of 750 Watts a channel not to exceed 1200 watts total output. I also connected a 150 watt Yamaha Subwoofer because I needed more bass. If I turn my Carver Pre-amp above 4.5 in volume (scale 0-10), my amp overheats and turns off, if I run the amp at slightly less then 4.5 volume in for about 1 1/2 hours, it also overheats. My question is: Do I really need more power? I imagine that the answer is yes but I was just checking with someone more knowledgable then myself. Should I get another m1.5T and bi-amp them? Thank you in advance for answering this question.
