Carver TFM-55

Little is documented about the Carver TFM-55. The one solid period sighting in the archive lists it as the TFM-55x. It was a two-channel power amplifier, and it was THX-certified, which put it in Carver's home-theater-oriented lineup of the mid-1990s.

Audio (October 1996, p.84) included the TFM-55x in its amplifier chart. The chart shows power figures of 380 W, 500 W, and 1,000 W (likely 8-ohm, 4-ohm, and bridged-mono ratings), 0.5% THD from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and a list price of $1,250. That is essentially all that survives in the record. There are no production years, no manual in the archive, and no further design details.
