According to the Bob Farinelli they really pushed the envelope with the 180's and 305's. I can attest to the fact that these are some of the best sounding mono-blocks tube amps I have heard at any price. They will be in my system for a long time.

I have owned Parasound JC-1 mono-blocks and still own the Ayon Triton and the Bob Carver 180s in "my system" perform way better than the other gear I have owned. The 180's retail for $7400. They provide a large open, clear and dynamic sound-stage,...

James Darby and several other reviewers gave them rave reviews. They actually put these mono-blocks up against 4 Einsteins and they were comparable according to them (44K versus $5K retail). I have read that EE makes a great DAC as well. I love my...
