I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company

apparently true...have now seen it on 3 different sites.

Emotive and Emotiva are completely different companies. Emotiva has acquired Carver.

I have tried a couple of Emotiva amps and they were awful. Hopefully this won't ruin a pretty decent tube product?

A sad day in audio history.
