Sunfire Amps


Would like opinion about Sunfire amps. Do they sound like tube amps? Have you driven eletrostatics? If you have what was your impression. Thanks!

I've had a sunfire amp for a year now and am really pleased with it. Sounds really musical to me. Great sound. I never understood why Bob Carver stuff got some much heat from some audiophiles. You'd think he was employed by Bose. haha
I have read some of the comments and beliefs on this topic. I only know what I hear. I have auditioned the new Sunfire Amps and they don't sound that much different than the amps Bob Carver built for the Carver Corp. . The only difference is the cosmetics and the price. I used to be able to afford his products , but now they are out of my price range. I have been a Carver fan and consumer for about 10 years, and all of my equipment is Carver,right down to the Carver Silver Series speakers. For the money that I spent, I haven't heard a better system yet. Bob Carver is a legitimate force to be reckoned with in the audio world, and he is not only a genius of audio technology but of maketing as well. In this day and age of competition between the Audio giants, Bob has carved out a small piece of the audio pie with a cult following that I am proud to be a part of .
I just bought the Sunfire signature amp from a used store. It is increditable to beat down my vintage amp. Mark ML3 by driving my Duntech Princess. If the logo labeled as Mark or Krell, it can be mark up the price 4 to 5 times of it original selling price. Thanks Bob Carver as I can save the remianing money on the other gears improvement. that

Very disappointing. I compared side by side against McCormack DNA-1 and the McCormack blew it away. The Sunfire was incredibly annoying to listen to, shrilly highs and had no substantial bottom. The DNA was warm and airy and beautifully natural sounding. Listened with: Mark Levinson 38 Mark Levinson 360s & 37 Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1s Transparent Reference all around.
