Whats up with Carver/Sunfire?

I'm a Bob Carver fan from way back.
My guess is that he doesn't kiss corporate magazine butt to get his stuff reviewed.
Also, it's well known that he voices his equipment to suite his personal taste rather than shooting for absolute neutrality. This qwest for personal freedom is frowned upon these days.

I'm a happy owner of Sunfire Symphonic reference stack.
The preamp is actually driving two amps in biamp setup. The tube monos are connected to the high-pass output @80hz and above. The Sunfire amp drives bottom. The Symphonic Reference amp easily outperforms matched power Bryston 4B-ST for a fraction of its price and no heat whatsoever arround the amp. However it's not considered to be a digital amplifier. It has a logic circuit that switches the output stage onto the different classes of operation depending on the load.

"Why don't I hear more about this guy's stuff on the high end forums?"

Because his stuff has been here and done that...so to speak. I can think of other component lines from other companies that used to be an almost daily topic here at this and other forums....old news now.

It's kind of a new kid on the block thing...Whats hot, and whats not....flavor of the month.
