Well, it took me until 8:30 tonight to get free so I could put my TFM-55 back into the setup. I snapped a picture of the cover that Bob signed. Nice message! (See below). I haven't had a chance to let'er rip, so to speak - the chitlin's being in bed and all (so is the wife), but I am listening to Floyd - Pulse (on vinyl) at a nice easy listening level. Already listened to side 1 of Steely Dan Aja and side 1 of record one of The Last Waltz by The Band. Forgot how good this setup sounded with the TFM in the setup.
I'll try and push the limits tomorrow - after a good warmup session (Gotta get the wife and kids out of here for a couple of hours). Can't wait to play it like it was meant to be played - loud!! :P

Enjoy the amp man. That's alot of power to play with!!

As Bob says..."Enjoy the Music!"

Okay, I've had some opportunity to open it up. Freaking great! However, now I can hear that I have a rattler in one of my Polk tweets. Next weakest link. You all know how it goes. (Still, only got the meter to half way - that is all my wife would allow for now!! - But, she is slowly caving in to the power - it will eventually overcome her, I know it will :P)

Very nice!!! ;D

That's Awesome Neil. I'm Glad You Got It Back And What A Nice Message As Well
From Mr.Carver.

Okay, I work 1 mile from my house, and get 1 hour for lunch. Wife was working yesterday, kids were in school, and I had 1 hour (give or take), so I opened it up. Played Police - side 1 of Ghost in the Machine - got the meters slightly past halfway (I didn't want to go much above that as it was after all on vinyl - so had to watch for vibrations from the 1C's). Plus, my ears were short of bleeding :P :P (j/k). Then I played a U/K EP of Pearl Jam - the song was called "Wash", which is one of my favorites from them. Then I put on Eric Clapton - Unplugged (only could get through first 3 songs).
HOLY CRAP!!!!![/size] That is all I can say. I still didn't get the my volume knob on my HR772 past half way. I need a bigger room!!! :D
