RE: maybe this is not factual

You quote a three year old thread that was not even factual when it was initially posted.

Emotiva prematurely issued a press release (which was parroted by Stereophile) that announced their acquisition of Carver, much to the consternation of Bob Carver. As I understand it, Emotiva wanted to produce tube amplifiers here in the USA under the Carver name. Bob Carver nixed the entire scheme once he understood what Emotiva was up to.

The details remain sketchy (at least to me) but as I understand it Bob was concerned that Emotiva wanted to use (steal?) his designs and his name but did not want to allow him to have any control over the products which bore his name.

If somebody out there has proof otherwise please correct me and I will humbly apologize to everyone concerned.
