Markolinni Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hello, I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 600, and i like the sound of it, but sometimes it looks like that it don't play loud as it should... I had before a carvin BX1200, that i sold because of the weight and because couldn't play with all that power. So, i start gasing (for the negative side) for another amp... and i came to this one: Carvin B1000. Does anyone tried one before or listened that can compare with the stramliner? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldude Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi! I have a Carvin B1000, which I've had for a year or so. If you're worried about this thing not being loud, don't. It has ridiculous headroom. I have even used it at an outdoor gig - there was only a tiny PA which I didn't use, and we are a loud band! - with no problems in the volume department. It also sounds pretty awesome but I have not tried the Streamliner so I can't offer a comparison. I used to have a GB Shuttlemax 12.2 but I much prefer the Carvin. Oh and the Carvin goes down to 2 ohms too so I run a 4ohm 2x12 and 8ohm 1x15 off it. It's fairly small and extremely light Awesome Put it this way: I haven't had amp GAS since I bought it, which is not like me at all Best amp I've ever owned.

molan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The Carvin sounds very different to a Streamliner. The latter is very warm (sounds 'muffled' and wooly to me but that's obviously just a personal view). The Carvin delivers big clean gobs of power and punch and goes very loud indeed - especially if run at lower ohmage levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebenezer Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I had the streamliner 900 and found it lacking in the power department!...wasn't my cup of tea...carvins look nice tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markolinni Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thank you for yur inputs. The streamliner (to me) sounds very nice, but somethings it just is enought. especcially on stage outdoors. Here in Europe, were could be found at "normal" prices, without been very inflacionated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
