Carver Professional ZR1000 Amplifier (SS)

I also own and love a Carver Pro ZR 1000, and agree it is the best amplification I have yet heard, including some extremely high end stuff; Although it sounds neither like SS or tubes, I would have to say it sounds "more" like tubes, SET (IMO), with balls, and does that psychedelic sense of space, of "there-ness" and flow better than anything. Anyone who values holographic imaging needs to try one. I also believe that they work their best run in bridged mono, to give the most they can. This is a very fast, high current amp, with a slightly recessed mid, which makes it perfect for my Coincident PEII. It even makes inferior source components sound better than they have any right to. Passive preamplification strongly recommended here.
