Can we say that? I've seen many measured reviews of Carver gear over the years, but never anything like this. What we know is that a new member of the forum, with no history, posts a very troubling review. Yet we have no background about the gear in question. Where did they come from, how were they bought, how old are they, was any attempt made to contact the dealer or the manufacturer? Many questions, few answers.
Again, if what we have been shown is representative of Bob's current product, then it's a very sad day indeed. Sad for Bob, his company, and consumers who trusted him over the years, and bought his gear. But we really don't know that for sure. Until the questions are answered, until we know more, I think caution is in order.
