Amplifier design / Bob Carver's thoughts

Here's an interesting article i ran across. For those that are interested in how devices work and the decisions that engineers make when designing a product, try taking a look at this article. It is an older interview with Bob Carver and gives background on the how's / why's of the Sunfire designs and why he chose the design attributes that he did. Obviously, the specific decisions made when designing any product are a matter of subjective preferences and some may not agree with Carver's personal designs / take on things. Having said that, the info provided here may help some of you that are less technically inclined understand how an amp works and what the various trade-offs are. Good reading, even if you don't like "Sideshow Bob". Sean

OK Sean, let me first thank you for the effort.I did
understand at least 40% of the information,but
not the technical part,He is talking that the sunfire
can produce limitless current.The bi wiring benefits.
Now you got me interested. The only problem. I dont
know who carried them, Use to be Columbia Audio Video,
sells them, but everytime I go there ,they are on the
HT set up, never set up correctly, And because of
that I was not impress at all.I wish you live close to
me.We are both from IL, but you are on the other side
of the city.Bob Carvers thought is very informative in
a lot a ways, made me feel this guy is a genius.I did
enjoy reading it though.
