    I believe Tour was using a Sunfire with the Carver Amazing's. Me, I like the BAT I have, you need high current to make these sing, not necessarily watts, because they have such an open transparent sound founded in the di-pole design, a fast, refined amplifier and related gear really gets them to shine.

    When I initially got the set in this thread I used two NAD 2700 PE, they did the job pretty good, then I moved to the Silver 9t, which were better, very powerful at 900 watts each, then I moved to the BAT, which I have enjoyed ever since.

    My friend has a pair of Amazing Platinum MK IV's that he powers with a Krell KSA-250. The Krell power's them effortlessly!!! I can't remember the amplifier current specs, but it needs 15 amps just to sit there. It's connected to a 20 amp circuit. The Krell is a 130 lb beast that is pure Class A. It gets hot enough to grill filets on the heat sinks. The amp is smooth, powerful and sounds wonderful. It's a match made in heaven for the big Carvers that are current hungry.

    Absoulutely Carl, its about current, amperes. If you dont have them, get you some. When you see the amps getting into the plus hundred pound arena, they are not using pig iron to get that weight.

    It's great to see these kept in the family. I remember hearing them at Troys (driven by the amps I now own). This place is so cool...

    George...George.......you don't want to do that... ;)

    Since I heard Rich's vinyl rig at Chicagofest I need to work hard to avoid those thoughts.
