My history with Carver goes back to the mid 80's when I sold hifi gear for a living at a place called Lechmere (anyone remember them?) I still own the M1.0t and the M200t that I bought back then and they are both still going strong! The M200t is doing center channel duty (bridged) in my A/V system. I've just purchased a C-1 on eBay which should arrive next week which I'm going to pair with the M1.0t as the start of a vintage 2-channel setup.
Cheers!
