I have a Carver TFM-15CB amp that has been sitting in my basement for a few years. It is 100wpc (8ohms). Anyhow, my question is how can use this in my current set-up. I was thinking about selling it but its in such nice shape I dont want to give it away if I can find a use for it. BTW, I'm very basic when it comes to A/V lingo so please take that in consideration if you reply. Thanks, Steve

    By the looks of your system, it seems you have balance. Alot of Carver fans in here so I suggest you post it in the flea market. You can also ask TroyD or Russman about what it should be sold for. They know there Carver stuff.

    Your Denon has pre-outs so plug it into your LR main speakers output & see if you like it.

    Yep I offered it here and had alot of PM's but nobody followed through. It really was a great little amp. I did hook it up to the fronts but it wasnt a big enough improvement to justify taking up the extra rack space. Besides I can always get another 1 if needed.

    Sorry, but never saw that you offered the amp; just saw a sub and speaker offered, and then the message that the amp was on ebay.
