    ebay.
    carver.
    ranges:
    $200-500
    200 wpc to 350 wpc.


    feel free to bid on the carver pieces I am selling at the moment under the seller name: ceruleance. The M-500t that I have is still only bid up to a little over half what it is worth.

    The Parasound Classic series are big bang for the buck too, but I caution their use in Home Theater. They run VERY HOT. Placing them in an enclosed rack is not recomended unless you provide some type of auxillary cooling.

    Until I did so, you could fry an egg on the top of my HCA-1500. I bought a "Cool-It" unit made by Active Thermal. It works very well. ($99).
