I've owned a Carvin B800 bass amp and loved it. Only reason I sold it was to try one of the newer lightweight heads (Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0). Never used one of their power amps.

Can't speak for their new lightwight series but the previous series seems pretty good for the money. The guy I jam with has a couple DCM's and even a couple of the older ones - can't think of the series. They've been workhorses. Also a buddy of mine that runs the biggest sound co in Pueblo CO runs the 4 channel model on horns in his monitor rig. He has been very pleased with them. 3 year warranty too. I think they're good bang for buck
