Greg says let Carver design an amp that more closely reproduces the
music, not one that emulates another design (the Levinson).

I think what Carver was trying to accomplish was more in line with
merchandising than technical excellence.  To me, Carver is saying
"the Levinson amp costs so much it must be good, but you can buy
my amp (which sounds *identical*) for 20% of the price and get
15 times the power to boot."

To *most* people shopping for an amp, that is truly impressive indeed!
