Sunfire amps


I'm looking for a beefy amp for hometheater and have been looking at sunfire amps for a while. Now they've come out with a new line of amps. I'm interested in 5 channels, so my choices are the original cinema grand signature 405x5, the cinema grand signature II 425x5 and now the 400~5. Other than minute changes in the wattage, does anyone know of any difference between these amps that would impact the sound. The sunfire website offers absolutely no information on this. I'm also interested in people's opinions as to the musicality of this amplifier as I'm going to stick my pioneer 47a in this setup for multichannel DVD-A and SACD.

Sean, what mods did you have done to your Sunfire Signature? Who did the mods and at what cost? What did the mods achieve for your system?

I owned a pair of Carver Silver 9t monoblocks....sold them and bought a Sunfire Signature. The Sunfire Signature was better all around, but it did not have the bass slam that the monoblocks had. So, I went out and bought two pair of the Silver 9t monoblocks and bi-amped my system. I kept the Sunfire Signature and I'm thinking of buying another one to try out the vertical bi-amp setup that I've heard about...mitch

Sean, I'm not familiar with your opinions or the problems you've had here at the 'Gon. However, I believe it is essential that we continue to hear from you here. The exchange of ideas in this forum, whether we agree or not is what makes this board click. I am relatively new to the 'Gon and the world of high end. It is important that guys like me are exposed to differing opinions.....we will make our own decisions, but those decisions will be informative because of people like you...and those that oppose you. I visit AA also but not nearly as often as I visit here. You'd probably be surprised how dependent some of the members here are for advice and suggestions from the 'Gon.

I believe your departure will be a loss for you and the members of the 'Gon. The participation of everyone is what makes the 'Gon so strong. The more this place becomes single-minded because of the lack of differing opinions, the less useful it will becaome to all of us.

....my 2 cents.
