carver amp for SRS 2

[fshan]

I am looking for a carver amp to drive my srs 2's. In your opinion would the M1.5t sound good or the TFM series? What is the output of the 1.5t? thank you

[george daniel]

Let me know if you are interested in the tfm series, as I may be able to hook up up with a mint TFM_45,if interested.It belongs to my brother,the original owner,serviced by carver in the last 6 months,currently powering 2.3's,he is planning to move into tubes and ss.:)

I am very interested.

[fshan]

I used a TFM-45 on SRS 2's for over a year, pretty decent matchup.

Oh I kind of like the Carver silver 7 or 9t, you are using a pin/blade connect? I was thinking all the SRS2 were pin/blade. Dont know what you budget is though. The mentioned 45 would give them some balls.

+1 on the Carver. I run mine with a 35. Good match with the 45.

M1.5t is 350wpc and not bridgeable.

TFM-45 is 375wpc and bridgeable to 1,000 watts.

I think the Parasound is better match with the SDA's.

I'm looking at the Tfm-42,45 or the M1.5T. I have the blade/blade. I can't use monoblocks. Silver 7,9's are monoblocks correct? The M1.5t is not bridgeable? The speaker commons are not tied together? I guess I'm just looking for a TFM 42 or a 45 then.

I hope I am in the right place. I have SDA SRS 2 speakers. (twin blade). I wish to receive advice from people who own or have owned carver M1.5t or the TFM 42/45 amps. I wish advice from those people only. No offense. (NO parasound, Krell, etc, etc, etc,). I don't have the money. I haven't fired these speakers up yet except to a Marantz SR 6000DC receiver. Sounds good so far. I am a poor man with poor ways. Anyone with experience with the carvers and sda's I humbly request your input.( as to sound etc.). I think Russman and polker since 85 answered my question tho. George might can hook me up.

I've owned both the M1.5t and the TFM-45 (as well as the Silver 9t's). The TFM-45 is a better amp than the m1.5t. I had two TFM-45's bridged for mono ops for awhile and found no appreciable improvement in performance over one.

Get the TFM-45.

Enjoyed many years of fun with the TFM-45 and SDA's. Great amp!

Dude,

Here's advice from a FORMER Carver owner (me):

I have ran Carver gear with my SDA-1c's. Going to the Parasound amp made a larger difference than getting my Bel Canto DAC 2. Hooking up the Parasound after the Carver was actually one of those deals where you actually hook up a piece of gear and go, "Wow."
