Has anyone ever tried one of these with B&W speakers? Specs look pretty impressive 400 watts into 8 ohms and 800 watts into 4 ohms. Sunfire subwoofers come highy recommended, just never heard anything about the amps.
Thanks

I have never heard them with B&Ws. I do, however, see a LOT of positive comments regarding their use with Martin Logans. In fact, Gayle Sanders himself uses a couple in his rig.Danish -
Only reason I've heard of them is because my dealer has recommended the Sub. As you say they do seem to get a lot of great reviews.Comment

I've heard the Sunfire amps are kind of noisy, hiss. Their Cinema Grand Signature Series II has 5 channels at 425 wpc and it doubles in to 4 ohms! This interested me. After checking into them I didn't like what I heard. With my Proceed amp being very quiet, the Sunfires wouldn't have been a good switch.
I picky on my two channel listening. Any hiss at all would bother me. For those who listen primarily to HT, it would likely be fine.

I think there was a bad review on Audiholics of one of their amps. Here it is: Sunfire Theater Grand III Review.Originally posted by DavidBHas anyone ever tried one of these with B&W speakers?

I don't know too much about the site or the credentials of the reviewers there, so take it with a grain of salt. It isn't a review of the amp you are looking at, but it might speak to production problems the company has in general...Comment

I'm an owner of B&W N802's and HTM1 speakers. I'm currently running a Proceed Amp 3 (150wpc @8 ohms 300 @ 4 ohms) and a Rotel RB-1080 (200wpc 8ohms, above 300 at 4). This of course has plenty of juice. But when is plenty ever enough. :B

I was ready to pick up a sunfire cinema grand 200x5,when i ran accross a rotel rmb1077 costing a little more than the sunfire.The rotel i know is only 100 x 7 but how would it compare to the wattage of the sunfire.Reason i ask is that there seems to be a raving about the 1077 even though it's only 100watts.Does... -
OK...call me dizzy, but maybe I've changed my mind (again)
I've got the Rotel RB-1075 amp on it's way to me now. I plan on getting another Rotel 2 channel amp later on. (probably the 991 or 1080) So I'm trying to decide on a processor to go with these amps. At first I thought I'd simply...09 April 2003, 02:06 Wednesday -
