I think their electronics have improved over the last number of years, but I so remember a "long in the tooth" bassman telling me that if I found a Carvin catalogue, to find the dividing page between the basses and the amps, tear it apart there and throw the amps part away because that was the good part.
I know we had some quite old Carvin PA system cabs (15" speakers with a large metal horn that occupied that top 1/4 of the cab) and they were basically impossible to use. The horns totally overpowered the speakers and if you cranked up the bass EQ to try to match the horns it turned to mud and if you turned down highs to the horn to match the speaker there was mud.
Haven't used any Carvin electronics for a long time and I do hope they've improved!!!
