    What to do.

    Well......... I got a pair of 602's3 in a seperate room that were recently powered by a rotel rb1070 and rc1070, which is a pretty good combo,but Iam always foolin around ,so I tried swapping out some gear to see what the 602's could do. I dug around and pulled out my old Son of Ampzilla, which in my opinion always gives good imagining and depth, and it did. Then I tried a Phase Linear amp and pre and things started to really open up a bit. The final test was the Carvers, the m500t had the kick, but it sounded a bit on the bright side, where the Phase sounded a bit warmer to my old ears. I ended up with the Phase 400 and used the Carver 4000 for the pre amp. In my opinion it sounded the best to me. I dont think that you will go wrong with the Sunfire, if your lucky to get it. You really have to have the abillity to hear an amp or pre amp hooked up to your speakers to judge for yourself. Its alot of money to shell out for an amp, and not heard it with your set up if you know what I mean. I hope it works out for ya.

      Sunfire Subwoofer
      by Jesse111
      It appears that my ears prefer the wavelength of a smaller driver. After trying dual then one Velodyne DD18 in my room, I found that they were not able to produce the musical bass I like. Then I moved to the Sunfire Signature 12” and found some improvement but similar negative results. While I feel...

      Which side of the fence does Rotel sit on?
      by unclemick
      Hi, I'm a new potential rotel customer...currently eyeballing the upcoming rsx-1058. Was wondering... with regard to the DVD format war, which side of the fence does Rotel sit on? Blu-ray? HD-DVD? Uncommitted? I realize that I'll probably have to wait light years for a Rotel Blu-ray, but would love...

      Didnt like sunfire amp with rotel?
      by rick c
      Hope this isnt an ignorant question but i have to ask.Do amps when connected to a reciever take over drastically with their own type of sound?The reason i ask this because i connected a sunfire 300x2 amp to my rotel rsx1056 and did not like it at all.My rotel by itself sounded alot better.The reason...

      Integrating a phase reversing pre into a HT system
      by Briz vegas
      Hi guys

      Rel subs have a high level connection via the left + & - and the right + only at the speaker connections on the power amp. They also allow you to have this high level connection and a low level connection hooked up at the same time.

      How do I do a high level...

      Sunfire Jr vs. Sunfire True Mark IV
      by Azeke
      Okay, my Sunfire True Mark IV has some damage, so I had to send it back to Sunfire. But wait, Sunfire says you can take it back to your dealer and have them send it in. Cool, maybe I can get my dealer to loan me another sub while mine is in the shop. Sure enough my dealer says I loan you the Sunfire...
