Carver Audio TFM-15CB Power Amplifier (1990) Black - USED

AI Mode Conversation: Carver TFM-15CB High Voltage/High Current Power AmplifierCarver TFM-15CB High Voltage/High Current Power AmplifierThe Carver TFM-15CB is a vintage 100-watt per channel solid-state stereo power amplifier designed by legendary audio engineer Bob Carver and released around 1990. A notable part of Carver's "Magnetic Field Amplifier" line, it utilizes a specialized transfer function calibration meant to mimic the warm, musical sound characteristics of a vacuum tube amplifier while retaining solid-state efficiency. [1, 2, 3]Technical Specifications

• Power Output: 100 Watts per channel into 8Ω, 140 Watts per channel into 4Ω, and 280 Watts in bridged mono mode. Independent technical tests show it can cleanly push up to 180W RMS into 4Ω before clipping.
• Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 110 dB
• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 0.1%
• Gain: 39 dB
• Weight: 17.2 lbs
• Dimensions: 18.98 x 3.62 x 13.07 inches [1, 2, 3]

Key Architecture & Engineering Features

• Magnetic Field Technology: Employs an efficient power supply design that provides strong current delivery, expansive dynamic headroom, and excellent transient response without requiring massive, heavy heat sinks. [1, 2]
• Circuit Design: Features a dual differential voltage gain stage with four power transistors per channel built onto a single main PCB. [1]
• Dual Analog VU Meters: Features Carver's signature dual analog power meters on the front faceplate. [1, 2]
• Condition & Testing: 

 This unit has been tested and puts out sound from both A and B speakers, the unit is in good condition with a few light scratches/scuffs, see in photos.

Important Notes: 

Does not include any cables, accessories, remote, or original packaging, unless listed, or in photos.

VU meter lamps need replacing however this does not effect performance of unit
