jimjimbo Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I wonder if they let Bob Carver proof that description before they published it.....I think there are a bunch of lofty claims here that are a bit......questionable, IMHO. It looks nice though.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice though.... I saw a video presentation last year where he explained this feature. He uses the back EMF of the speakers as part of a low level feedback circuit, which enhances ambience.

JohnA Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 "Each room plays its own tune, and this amp uses the speaker as a microphone by using the speaker in reverse (the theorem of reciprocity) to ‘listen to the room," Bravo Sierra.

Shakeydeal Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Well if anyone is interested, this amplifier is the real deal. I got one in on Tuesday and have been listening for a few hours. This damn thing is great. It is very small and light, two things that concerned me. But those concerns were unfounded. It is very dynamic and holographic. If you are looking for tube power in the 75 watt range, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 So have you touched the tubes yet? " The Crimson 275 uses KT120 output tubes that run thru Bob's unique DC restorer circuit. This allow them to run cool and extend tube life. You can actually touch the tubes during play and they are not hot. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
