Wondering if anyone in WBF owns, has owned, or heard the Carver Silver 700 tube mono blocks? I currently use the Carver Black Beauty 305 mb’s (six KT120’s per side). They drive my Magnepan 20.7’s without breaking a sweat and they sound pretty darn good. But, the Silver 7’s would more than double the available output power and I have to think that they would help push out the soundstage boundaries of the Maggie’s to even wider and deeper dimensions. I like a BIG sound! Does the old saying, ‘power corrupts’ apply to the Silver 7’s. Many times I have found that moving up a companies amplifier line to the higher power models tends to sacrifice some of the finesse and musicality of the lesser powerful units.
However, I’m not driving horns with my amps but a speaker that while not an extremely difficult load does like Power.
Thoughts and your experiences?
