Bob Carver new site?

[StephenWVU]

Am I so out of the loop I didn't know about this?  Are these the same amps just reworked to use different tubes?  The line arrays are for sale?  Where is that fancy preamp I have heard about?!

Yeah, I think most of us know about it.  I don't think they're a whole lot different than the 305's, but yeah, they're running KT150's.  The Line Arrays are NOT for sale.  The website lies.  I talk to James all the time, and they're still not done.  Same applies to the 700 amps; still not technically released.  I don't even know if the 350's are released yet.  Everything is basically in shambles haha.

Just sent Bob some knobs for the x overs. He may be close on the speakers.

[MacGeek]

I always liked line arrays and believed they can potentially achieve the best possible sound.  What's the anticipated retail on the speakers?

[bearjew]

they're going to sell somewhere between 18 and 22 grand

[MacGeek]

Sorry I asked.  I guess the price may be affordable in ten years when used systems are available.

[bearjew]

James, the guy that makes them, is coming up to Pittsburgh in May.  Maybe you can kiss his ass and get a discount haha.

and OCCD, we both know those speakers aren't near done yet.  bob is still f**king with the crossover.

[schwarcw]

OCCD, are these the same speakers that we heard at Dave's place in Ft. Myers?

[OCCD]

Yes.

[schwarcw]

I thought so.  They sounded pretty damn good.  I also recall the crossover was still being worked.  I would like to hear the finished product.

Hey Jesse, are you planning to purchase a set of these?   

[RuralTom]

I'm thinking about it... if I can get that much from selling my house!

[Bathory]

I'm thinking about the raven 350.

only problem is in 20 years when Rob is gone, where are we supposed to get service.    probably nowhere, so its a waste of 8 grand.....possibly.

any thoughts.......

[MasterBlaster]

Most competent techs will be capable of servicing. Unless a transformer blows up - that part will likely be difficult to replace as the years pass.
