Was wondering if anyone can any insights on the carver amps especiallly sound wise warm, bright etc..I was thinking of adding a rotel amp down the road but saw how budget minded these amps were.How would they do with b&w 603s3 and a rotel rsx1056.Or should i just wait until i can afford a rotel amp.It seems you get more for the money with a used carver or is it my imagination?Would really like some insight thanks.

I would steer away from the TFM series of Carver's. I have owned about 1/2 dozen, and won't own another. I just had a TFM 24 a week ago and for shits and giggles ran one front speaker off of the Carver, and the other off of my Rotel 1080, and the carver is brighter, distorts much sooner (at low to moderate volume), and sounded shallower to me. Rotel looses me in the music where as the Carver amplified it. I am biased no doubt, but believe the Carvers are great for kids who want to pound on a set of cerwin vega, or pioneer 18" speakers with some of todays "rock". They are affordable, but as a rule of thumb you get what you pay for. You have a great start with the 1056, and can pick up used Rotel amps somewhat reasonably, on ebay or audiogon. Another plus is that Rotel holds their value quite well, so if you take it in steps you can sample along the way and get to where you want to be.

Howdy folks, I am new to this forum thanks to the gentleman I just purchased my RMB-1075 from. I was using a Carver TFM-35X to run my fronts- Klipsch RF-3's, as my primary concern has been 2 chnl audio. I use a Rotel RSP-980, RDA-980, and RDA-985. I also am running the full compliment of Klipsch Reference... -
I just found one of these pre-amps on my local buy and sell. Just curious if there is any issues running this with either my Rotel RB-870 BX or my Carver TFM-35 amps. -
I always thought that the rsx1056 should not be used with 4ohm speakers.Atleast that's what rotel told me a while back when i was inquiring about dynaudio speakers,so i ended up with B&W 603s3's/lcr600(really liked them anyway).Well i have upgraded my speakers to a System Audio setup(sa1750/sa720av/sa505's)these... -

THE STORY: After owning a RSX1056 for a couple years, I've just put a PC (a marginally dated AMD2600 XP Machine) in my HT system by SPDIF Audio and Component Video. Ripping my CD music collection to a Network Drive, and able to play it via Windows Media Player. "IF" I had the 1056 on, and...
