Frank Van Alstine /Bob Carver

[PMAT 2,042]

Both of these men produced amps on a value proposition. Both very different. Both have enormous amounts of experience. Bob the brilliant physicist designer with outlandish claims. Frank the cranky old curmudgeon conservative. Some of the stuff in Frank's newsletters is just a great read. Here's a link for those of you interested.

Frank is coming out with 1000 W solid-state amp. It made me think of Bob.

Only 1000W?

Anything more would be an outlandish claim! Get with it.

Only 1000W?

Yeah, duh......................make it 1500W Class A and it can double as a toaster. Breakfast with music and a meal. Now that's enjoying audio.

Righteous. That would be the opposite of Sunfire. 2700 W out of the wall with no heat sinks! Doh!
