I'm no technical expert but this amp seems shockingly bad in just about every respect.
Was this amp really designed by Bob Carver? Wasn't he the guy who said he could design solid state amp that sound like any given tube amp, (or something like that)? What would he be doing designing a tube anyway?
I would like to see some measurements of, hopefully, more competent tube power amps. In particular there are various Dynaco ST-70-inspired amp, a very popular one being Bob Latino's VTA ST70. I'd love to see some measurements for that: maybe there's an owner here who'd step up I'd bet it would far out shine the more or less vintage Dynaco Amir tested some time ago.
