    How would these two amps compare to a Carver A-500x?

    Was going to make it a secret but why not.

    Why do you think I am going to buy it from him. :D:rolleyes::p

    I think I am going to like it. Just will take me a bit of time to get the cash for it.

    I know this is more than you are looking to spend but this is a killer deal on this amp:

    I was thinking about snagging it up but I used my latest audio budget money on another Sunfire amp.

    This is a good amp from a great, honest guy. It is worth the extra $75.00 in excess of your budgeted $500 budget.

    I do believe it was sold. It was a Carver A760. I have been watching it for a while and cannot believe it sat so long for $575.
