Whats up with Carver/Sunfire?

Why don't I hear more about this guy's stuff on the high end forums? He makes some pretty amazing equipment, to my untutored eyes; the sunfire power amp doubles down all the way to 1 ohm; it is compact and gives off very little heat..and now the "digital" amps are coming out (Rotel 1091 etc.)....I have never heard a sunfire, but why not drive my thiel 2.3's with a Carver + a tube pre? If I'm a duh, I have an excuse...I'm a lawyer.......mb

I'm a Bob Carver fan from way back.
My guess is that he doesn't kiss corporate magazine butt to get his stuff reviewed.
Also, it's well known that he voices his equipment to suite his personal taste rather than shooting for absolute neutrality. This qwest for personal freedom is frowned upon these days.
