I have 2 CF amplifiers that work great!!! I have them bridged running a set of Klipsch fortes. I love them both....speakers and amps. After talking to Mark(Radio Engineer)Lucas I'm planning a little upgrade. Obbligato caps and Mills resistors... if I can ever get in touch with Anders. I'm listening to them right now:-)
Is that 16 or 17??

Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.

Re: Carverfest amps... how many are actually working???
Well, there's the one in my avatar that works fine now. I have parts for the other but I keep waiting for the new transformers we're supposed to be getting...... Any chance that's ever going to happen?
So +1 to whatever the previous total was..

Recounting and adding 1 for Alex the total now stands at 21 if we give Frankie credit for never using his and not knowing whether it works or not!!!
