If you’ve vowed not to com prom ise this tim e around,
consider th e rich rewards of ow ning Carver. Each com po­
nent includes unique innovations designed to confront and
solve real-world sonic problem s.

Accuracy and musicality through Transfer
Function Modification.
O ver the past tw o decades, Bob
C arver has worked on the problem of replicating one power
am plifier’s sonic sig n atu re in an o th er dissim ilar design.
T h ro u g h thousands of hours of painstaking tests and mod
ifications, he has been able to closely m atch the T F M -2 5 ’
s
tran sfer fu n ctio n w ith th a t of his highly acclaim ed

amplifier. W h en you hear th e w arm , natural sound of the
T F M -25, you’ll know th at T ransfer Function M odifica­
tion is an audible reality.
Power unleashed: Simultaneous high current/
high voltage output.
T h e T F M -2 5 is capable of deliver­
ing m ore sim ultaneous cu rren t, pow er and voltage into a
wider range of speaker loads th an any o th er com petitively
priced design:
225 watts per channel into 8 ohms
2 ()-2 0 k H z
with no more than 0.5%
T H D . Its patented
M agnetic Field Power Supply can draw up to 20 0% m ore
line cu rren t, store m ore joules of energy in its u nique dis­
tributed capacitance system, and th e n deliver up to 500%
m ore cu rren t during m usical peaks. W ith the right speakers,
this kind of serious pow er can achieve a full restoration of
the robust percussive attacks and lightning transients so
N ew flexibility in a classic preamplifier design.
T h e C arver C-16 is at once a p urist, “straight-w ire-w ith-
gain” design and a w onderful w ealth of sonic options.

U nlike any
competitive tu n e r m odel, th e C arver T X -1 2 can actually
transform a noisy, m ultipath distortion-ravaged F M signal
into clean, hiss-free m usic w ith full stereo separation. T h e
key is the T X -1 2 ’s A sym m etrical C harge-C oupled FM
Detection circuitry. A lengthy nam e for a w onderfully fast
solution to expanding your listening possibilities. W h e n
you experience A CCD 's effect, you m ay consider the

mere icing on the cake.

and T X -1 2 are just three of over a dozen
new C arver designs. E ach is designed to
rekindle your sense of m usical w onder. It all
begins w ith a visit to your nearest C arver dealer.
