Well I wouldn't be so hasty to call it a no brainer, for I've owned several of the Sunfire Ultimate's and the truth is most aren't aware the Ultimate delivers a superb performance that's equal to listening to separates. I defy anyone to distinguish a difference.
Considering the abundance of power on hand with the Sunfire combined with the savings of no interconnect cables, a very nice phono stage and am-fm tuner, for my money the Sunfire is impossible to beat...and dare I say it, a "no brainer."
No disrespect to the Anthem crowd, but most Anthem owners have never heard the Sunfire Ultimate or actually owned one. The Sunfire delivers. I have high end separates but I'm as content as could be listening to the Sunfire in both two channel and for HT. That's been my personal experience.
