    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...................

            May magnetic field of the B&W 685s give damage to dvd recorders?
            by AwArEnEsS
            I have a problem which I haven't been able to solve yet.About two weeks ago,I put one of the B&W 685's on a shelf,very close to the dvd recorders and satellite receivers.685 was not connected to the receiver(amplificator).After a while in the same day,the satellite receiver started getting locked.Then...

            Planar Magnetic Transducers

            A planar magnetic transducer, also known as a planar driver, is a type of loudspeaker driver that uses a thin and lightweight diaphragm with an embedded conductive coil to produce sound. It operates based on the principles of magnetic induction. A planar driver consists of the below:
            • Diaphragm: The diaphragm of a planar magnetic driver is a thin, flat, and often rectangular or circular membrane made from a lightweight material such as mylar or a thin metal

            Exploring Common DIY Terminology - Magnetic Shielding
            by technodanvan
            Magnetic Shielding

            Magnetic shielding is a technique used in loudspeaker design to prevent the magnetic field generated by the driver's magnet from interfering with nearby electronic devices, particularly CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays. When a loudspeaker's magnet is positioned close to a CRT screen, it can distort the image by deflecting the electron beams in the CRT, causing color shifts and geometric distortions. The concept of magnetic shielding was developed to address this issue...

            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...
