I was impressed. Still am
is this the amps you are using.pat

Marakanetz so the wyred for sound might be an upgrade to the sunfire.Is your sunfire amp from the latest technologie of Bob Carver.Did you compare both.Anyone out there compare the spectron amps to sunfire amps.In the absolute sound mag,they said that the spectron was the best digital amp.Is that right.pat

Do any people out there made comparisons between carver designs and big league stuff with reference material.Thanks pat.

I run two second-hand Sunfire Signature 600 amps, one per channel, with Marigo Ultra 5 power cords to deal with RF issues. In this configuration they far exceed the performance of the original production Atma-Sphere MA-1 mono amplifiers they replaced in my system.

the atma-sphere were from the early 90 i guess but did the sunfire beat them in every respect.My brother just compared a carver pm 1.5 to a spectron musician 2 and found the spectron to be much more transparent and maybe a bit flatter than the carver.

What do the Spectrons cost? They cost about 1200.00 450 watts at 8 ohms,620 watts at 4 ohms.

The Carver Silver 9t monoblocs are the way to go. A pair of the monoblocs cost about the same as a used Sunfire 600.

So Mitch youre saying that the tube amps from carver are better than his solid state design.Have you listened to the lighstar serie.thanks pat

The Silver 9t are solid state monoblocs. Never heard the LightStar amp, I've heard nothing but good things about it though.

ok i thought they were tube design so the 9s are better sounding than the sunfire amps.Very appreciated comment.Anybody outthere compared the 9s to the lighstar
models.
thanks.pat
