    I used to know this...I pretty sure it's over 300 @ 8 ohm. Great for a center or 8 ohm speaker. Not a great idea for SDAs. Bridging a heavy load will also effect sound quality.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO
    BW Silvers
    Oppo BDP-83SE

    Yep, looking for a TFM to drive my CSi5 center, figured I could get out for less using a lower powered but bridgable TFM.

    Yep, I've got my eye out of a TFM15CB for my center as well. My little Audiosource is showing signs of giving up the ghost.

    We should probably talk if one of them is on ebay, just to make sure we are not bidding againest each other. If so let me know and I will not bid. Looks like they can be had for about $150 - $180

    I try to stay off ebay. I'll pick something up locally for around $100...might not be Carver. You find something...go for it.
