No experience with the Carvin combo - although I have owned and do presently own a fair amount of other Carvin gear, and can vouch for the quality.

However, I do also own two Nemesis combo amps - the NC410 (4x10) and the NC210 (2x10), both of which I like a lot. They sound surprisingly warm and deep for solid-state amps with 10" drivers, and surprisingly loud for being relatively low-powered combos - because Eden engineered them to run @ 4 ohms, with special high-efficiency drivers. Interestingly, the 2x10 goes a little deeper than the 4x10, although it doesn't move nearly as much air... :hmm:

Though I haven't heard the Carvin combo, I'd be surprised if it doesn't sound great. And both the Carvin and the Nemesis have really nice features. Sorry to be so cliche, but I really don't think you could go wrong either way... :hmm:
