In case anyone's interested, "Paulbottlehead" has had the opportunity to test a Bob Carver Corp. 350 monoblock amplifier.

    maybe I missed it but it looks like (??) you only bench tested one amplifier (out of a pair of "monoblocks")?
    Excellent observation Mark.

    I've asked him about that.
    He says he has access to the pair, so we'll see.
    There's no doubt that the OPT is substantially beefier than those in the "275", which is a good sign.
