Anyone know if they will have XLR inputs? Weight?

I've never seen a pic of their backside. Can you post a link?

There are links here to papers (brochures/owner's manuals) for both of the current amps. No balanced inputs. Interesting toggle switch for two types of feedback...

re: weight - according to the site, 42 pounds each.

Hmmm makes me wonder if .....maybe Bob Carver feels the same way about balanced inputs the same way Conrad Johnson feels.............on a Tube Amp is not a real advantage?or simply not needed for the amp to sound its best?....... |

Another consideration is that you have to double the circuitry, which can dramatically raise the cost.
Besides, after reading about "The Carver Challenge", I doubt I'd buy anything with his name on it: The Carver Challenge | Stereophile.com

The Carver Challenge article is very interesting and quite a impressive accomplishment by Mr. Carver. Making a $700 amp. sound identical to expensive reference amp., now if you could order and buy one that would be amazing.

It wasn't really the challenge itself that was a turnoff, it's his current business venture that seems somewhat hypocritical in comparison.
