Opinions on Sunfire Amps


Anybody use Sunfire amps for music? What's their character? They provide lots of power for their price and size. Any catch?
Thanks

ive never tried sunfire amps but i have used just about every carver product known to man,sunfire is the same designs as the carver & both were made by the same guy,
IMHO they all sucked,they sounded very screechy & like they were tweeked out of site right from the factory,the last carver amp i tried was the tfm55 & it was real bad,i almost threw it in the garbage,it sounded like hooking a transistor radio up to the speakers then amplifing the speakers thru a pa system,as far as im concerned carver amps are lousey.
reviews are a dime a dozen,i dont think ive ever read a bad review on any peice of gear,my statements were based on my usage of just about every amp in the carver line,at 1 time i owned 16 different carver amps & they sounded great till i compared them to hi end amps then i heard the difference,imo the whole carver amp line was cheap.
it was very painful once i found out that carver sucked,keep in mind that i never owned all 16 at the same time also many of the carver products that i HAD were bought for resale back when carver was in its heyday.
