    Didn't know Carver was based out of Kentucky along with Theil, Eminence, Lexicon. I think Infinity/JBL also have a pretty large operations there. Kentucky home to more than a few top shelf outfits kind of interesting.

    The fact that the prices are coming down on the tube amps is nice to know.

    This was posted a few weeks back. I am interested to see what comes out of this. Hopefully the lower prices dont mean inferior components.

    Carver has been based out of Seattle and most recently Colorado

    Carver was based in Lynwood WA, and Sunfire out of Snohomish. The tube stuff was being done out of Kentucky. I don't recall Carver ever being done in Colorado, unless that's where Phoenix Gold is based.
