    carver 4.0T magnetic field power amp

    does anyone know if this is a reliable 2 channel amp? how many watts per channel? and would it be a good addition to my RSX-1056 to drive my front speakers? any help as to magnetic field would be appricated.
    thanks paul

    Not a bad amp. Don't run it with a 4 ohm speaker...

      I have had two of these amps since around 90-92, no problems with them.
      Rated 375W continuous per channel, or can be bridged as a single channel amp rated at 1000W.

          1st they are thin sounding compared to your Rotel, which has been called "warm".
          2nd, if buying used, use caution, as I have seen many with resistor issues, (all of the TFM series I owned had issues) in which they were hacked back together, with destroyed traces, etc...
          Other than that they have been known to drive nails...................

            Magnetic fields and CRT TVs
            by cameronthorne
            I've heard Thomas say that the effects of a nearby unshielded midrange on a CRT television depend entirely on how far away it is from the TV, and how well shielded the TV itself is.

            Is it possible to test out the TV set itself without having a built speaker? How strong of a regular magnet...

            B&W CM1 speakers sitting next to iMac 27" ???
            by digitalshah
            I am considering a used pair of CM1 speakers ( paired with a Rotel RA1062) for computer audio, converting old LP's to digital and general itunes listening. The manual for CM1's says that the speakers produce a magnetic field but the lcd displays are not affected. I am concerned about the speakers...
