Phase Linear 700B, Monster B. Carver Power

Bob Carver and Steve Johnston launched Phase Linear in 1970 and shortly following they rocked the audio world (literally!) with the introduction of the Model 700 power amplifier.  The 700 produced 350 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and utilized a few circuit protection and direct coupling tricks that Carver later used in other companies and other designs.  In many ways, the 700 represents the very beginning of Carver's legacy in audio, which continues today.

This Model 700B power amp carries on the tradition that Carver started. The 700B is a golden-age classic, a time when copper and electricity were cheap, and companies were vying for the most power per dollar they could possibly muster out of the components available at the time.  The 700B was often used in both hifi and sound reinforcement applications due to its incredible power and stability, when driving speaker loads above 4 ohm.  Into a nominal 8 ohm load, the 700B pumps out 345 watts per channel of solid state power.  Phase Linear amps often blew away the nearest competition and also became very well know for its low-end foundation and control, and midrange clarity due to a massive high-voltage power supply and a damping factor rated at 1,000...Astonishing performance even by today's standards. 

This example is in near perfect physical and sonic condition, having been completely checked by our in-house tech.  Both meters function well and illumination is warm and inviting.
