Seperates vs Sunfire Ultimate Receiver


For 2700 can anyone suggest separates, which would perform music and HT - 50/50 - better than the Sunfire UR, to drive 6ohm speakers (84dB Mirage). With apparent power - 200W at 8 and 400W at 4ohm - and a TGIII built in, is this the exception to the rule? Comments.

I just purchased an Ultimate from Onecall.com and am awaiting delivery of a set of Martin Logan Ascent Fronts, Scenario rears, and Cinema Center with Depth (for now) subwoofer.

Do you notice a slight hum from the receiver even when it's off? Mainly, only when closer than 3 feet from the unit.

This is actually my second one as the first one made a hum but I could also feel a slight continuous vibration in the chassis so I called my shop and they exchanged it.

I plan on calling Sunfire to see if this is normal. I realize that the amps may make audible noise as noted in the troubleshooting part of the manual but it states it's due to ac line noise as the cause and I have it hooked up to a line conditioner (panamax) and there is no difference between the wall and the line conditioner. Anyway, the replacement receiver makes a slight hum also (much less than the first) but doesn't have the vibration. Does yours do this?

Thanks,
Nick
