Carver M200t Amplifier

Auction

This item is a Carver M200t Power Amplifier in excellent condition.  I have found the Carver M200t to be the best sounding (sonically) amplifier that Carver offers at the time it came out and will still keep with most out there.  I’ve had it in storage for some time and then in my bedroom home theater system up until now.  It is in perfect working condition and represents one of Bob Carver’s best performing and best looking amplifiers.  I have the instruction manual.  I will ship the unit at the successful bidder’s expense to any of the lower 48 US states only.  Any other bidders are strongly suggested to contact me prior to bidding.  I will ship within one week of receiving your payment only because I want to have it professionally package and protected.  There is only a minor scratch on the top.  It can also be seen in the top view photo.

If the actual shipping charges are more than the estimated I will send you a check for the difference.  I am not interested in making money on shipping the unit to you.  You’re welcome to delay giving “feedback” until you get a check if the freight is less than the estimate.  If it’s a little more I expect you to send me a check.  I am estimating packaging and shipping at $30

The unit can also be picked up if feasible I am in the ST Louis area.

Please contact me with any questions . . . .

The smallest Carver Magnetic Field Power Amplifier is more powerful than most companys larges amplifiers. Once you have had the M-200t, you will wonder how you managed with less power. Because any less power, regularly submits your ears to audible distortion called clipping. At moderate levels, you may not think you notice it. But thats because underpowered TVs, car radios, portable sound sources and virtually all low powered hi-fi components have made us accustomed to the haze of minute distortions which occur thousands of times per minute. The M-200t has the reserves of power necessary to allow your speakers to complete each musical waveform instead of snapping it off. The resulting clarity can restore a surprising amount of impact and detail to your existing records played over your existing speakers with no further modifications. Yet it is with the emergence of digital recording and playback technology that the M-200t stops being a luxury and turns into an absolutely necessary. When you first hear a CD, your ideas of loudness and softness are completely overturned. Digital holds surprises with every passage, ranging from utter silence to exploding power that taxes your whole hi-fi signal chain, causing clipping distortion that isnt subtle anymore, the kind of clipping which can actually damage speakers. The simple answer is to add the M-200t with its remarkable amplifier and its speaker protection circuitry. This Magnetic Power Amplifier has the ability to deliver the power needed for the digital in a cool-running package a THIRD the size of traditional amplifier designs. Its sophisticated amplifier and speaker protection circuits monitor conditions that could damage your equipment, shutting the M-200t before the problems occur. Voice coil overheating, long term clipping, catastrophic short circuit and even excessive DC voltages are the problems which the M-200t is designed to automatically circumvent. The result is the freedom of truly enjoy Compact Discs or any other music source at realistically listening levels..
