The Carver Crimson 275 has that smooth tube sound, and it supposedly puts out 75-100wRMS/channel, so it drives the Magnepan .7 as loud as I normally listen.
Five year warranty on tubes, and they run so cool you can put your hand on them. I run it all day long. Reasonably priced and you can get 60 day money back tryout.
Acoustic instruments sound real, and I enjoy EDM, jazz, rock, folk and classical.
The Adcom solid state is also a real pleasure, maybe a tad more detailed with a bit more bass (but the subs take care of that) and more analytical. But I like the 3D naturalness of the Carver.
Plus, it looks cool, don’t you think?
