After working closely together for over five years at Sunfire, both gentlemen came out of retirement to join forces and found this new business in 2011.
"We are American Inventors with 75 years of design experience and 51 patents between us. We are committed to building the highest quality audio products in the USA. These products will deliver years of listening enjoyment and stand among the few of the greatest amplifiers ever designed." says Carver.
"I am thrilled to be partnering with Bob Carver on this new adventure. He continues to amaze me with his vast knowledge of physics, electronics, acoustics and - most importantly - how to make products that just sound amazing," says Farinelli.
Bob Carver will continue to design audio products. Bob Farinelli will be in charge of product commercialisation, manufacturing, sales and marketing. "This partnership is the logical 'next step' of our working relationship together," says Farinelli.
The first release from Bob Carver.com is a new line of vacuum tube amplifiers. "These amplifiers stand with a small handful of the world's great vacuum tube amplifiers" says Carver.
The Cherry 180 is conservatively rated at 180W RMS into 8 ohms, the Black Beauty 305W RMS. Both were designed to "drive the most demanding speakers".
"Today's discerning audiophiles listen to a wide variety of content and appreciate the warm, rich sound that vacuum tube amplifiers provide. Other products found in this price range simply do not compare in overall performance" says Farinelli.
