from carvin.com Summary:
carvin pro 2500 watt power amp. great for home use!! tight bass, great midrange, crystal highs. made my axiom audio m-80's sing like crazy, i have never heard these speakers puch this kind of spl before, theypounding, th eamp was effortlessly driving these 4 ohm speakers. great sound, chest thumping bass, midrange is natural, though not made for home use, the specs are great, and these sound a bit bright for a few days, but really shine after about a week of use, make sure these are warmed up before you decide to drive them hard!
highs were liquid and clear, womans vocals were simply amazing, and the midrange on some older megadeth was just amazingly in your face w/ out being to bright, just a good overall tone!!
