Carver TFM-35 or upgrade to Sunfire amp?


Hello,
I have a pair of Carver TFM-35 amps and was thinking of upgrading to the Sunfire amps. Has anyone compared the two amps?. Since these are both designed by Bob Carver will they sound the same?
I am running an all Carver system with a C-19 pre-amp and a SDA-490t cd player. The speakers are Paradigm Studio Monitors.

Thanks
Bob

I sold a pair of TFM-25 amps to upgrade to the Sunfire series I stereo amp. IMO it is much better quality and seems to have much more power reserve than the Carvers even though it is rated 50 watts less than my pair of TFM-25's. (at 8 ohms) As far as the sound...I listen to mostly rock so my ears aren't all that sensitive but I love the Sunfire sound. There is also options for current or voltage source so you can have a tube like sound if thats what you are looking for.
