Sunfire amps

Hey Sean, good to see you around. What mods have you had done to the Sig 600? I have a Sig Stereo II and was curious what changes you've made (or had made) and the impact of them.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I appreciate the support.

I'm not really "back" on Audiogon, at least not in the sense that i was before. The general consensus from the folks that i've recently spoken to was that i wasn't "punishing" anyone other than those that needed help and wanted to learn by not posting here. As such, i'm only responding to questions that nobody else seems willing to answer. If you look at the date of this thread and the other threads that i responded to, you'll see why i responded to them. That is, someone was asking for help, waiting patiently and nobody had responsed for at least several days*. Since i'm not looking to stir things up ( never was ) so much as i am trying to learn and share, this is the approach that i'm going to take here at Agon now.

Seeing as how my point of view seems to be too controversial for some folks, i'm going to avoid the high profile threads on Agon and stick to those that nobody is paying attention to. I'll still be helping and educating, but doing so in a manner that is less controversial and geared more towards individual problems. I won't be commenting on any gear or the politics in this forum as it doesn't do anything but piss people off. Other than that, i'm still posting over at AA as one can openly speak their mind on those forums.

Since i don't want to sidetrack this thread now that others have responded, those that are interested should email me privately. Best wishes and good listening... Sean

Sean, don't change a thing. Just be the same guy you always were. I am part of the consensus who feels the only people being hurt were we Audiogoners. To those who can't handle the truth - As they say, if you can't run with the big dogs, stay the hell on the porch!

Sean,
For what it's worth I've always appreciated your input on AG and think that the whole concept of AG acting as a useful resource relies on the participation of people like yourself.
I was at a mini audio club meeting over the weekend, and your name was mentioned several times during the course of discussion and always in a positive light.
I've seen some of the threads that got a little wild on AG, and even chipped in from time to time. I don't think people venting and getting a little too 'passionate' about their opinion is always a bad thing, in fact my own approach to certain situations and people in the workplace is to 'stir things up' from time to time. It's surprising how people will play a passive role and will often sit on the fence until their view is challenged, then they become all fiesty and you can't shut them up!!
Well it's part of the fun in my opinion, and conducive to the learning experience also, so it would be good to see more of you on AG, controversial opinions and all.

Hi guys,
I'm currently in the process of shopping for a big-ass solid state amp, preferably for five channels.
I have Infinity Kappa 600s front L/R, Kappa 400s rear L/R, and an older Infinity Entra Center. THe center is soon going to be replaced by a Martin Logan Cinema. THe Kappas are all 6 ohm speakers, and thus my lil Harman Kardon 430 cannot push that load. I bought the H/K knowing that i would eventually use the preamp outs, into separate amplification. A cheap and easy way to get Lexicon's Logic7 processing, and a relatively good receiver to boot. I paid half of list!
I have read lots of good stuff about Bob Carver, and have reviewed his white papers on the website, and am really pretty well sold on a Cinema Grand, either the 200-5 or the 400-5.
WHat do you guys think? Im pretty new at the audiophile thing, but have decent power delivery (Monster HTPS7000ss) and great cabling (MIT, Transparent, Tara, Monster M-Series). Would either of the Sunfires work well with my stuff? THe fact that I can install her in a closed cabinet is helpful to the fiance!

Thanks guys, I need some help!
