Best Carver stereo solid state amplifier design

i would like to know what is the best design Bob Carver has made.Is it really considered hifi.What could we compare the sonics of his best designs to.Can we compare his stuff to mark levinson,spectral,krell.Many people are fans of him but we dont hear much about his work in hifi magazines. Does it mean its only good for home theater or what.Anyone out there can answer on the sound quality of his stuff.Any comparisons made to the big league.Thanks pat

My SRA is from late 90's early 2000. It has logic circuit that switches between the classes of amp operation so making it partially digital.
I believe that Wyred4sound is valuable and inexpensive upgrade to my current model.

I own single Sunfire SRA 250/500 8/4Ohms driving Totem Forrest speakers.
It has a large number of advanteges over the higher priced high-end components:
1. No Heat
2. Plenty of clean and linear power
3. Power rated over the whole audiable freequency bandwidth
4. Fraction of price to Krell Bryston or Classe with competitive performance
5. Can't rise my hand to sell this amp and upgrade to wYred4sound SX500 monos that 'itching' me lately.
