    What Carvin Power Amp Should I Get?

    Used to own a Carvin HD1500 Ultra Light amp and it worked great. Really liked the light weight. I sold it and bought a Matrix 1000 due to it's smaller size. Other than the size, both sounded like me playing and either would do the job with no issues. I would have no problems replacing either amp...

    Power Amp Quality Does Matter - No Hype

    I have a Carvin DCM1540 1500w amp. It's made with an aluminum chassis so it's petty light. I don't like the fact has a 2U form factor so I typically run my Matrix 1000w amp with the 1U size. I keep the Carvin at home and when I plug each channel into a 4x10 cab it really can stop traffic on a...
