Sunfire: The Legacy of Bob Carver in Home Audio Amplification

HOW DID WE GET HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

The year was 1972. And a graduate student named Bob Carver was about to turn an ordinary classroom assignment into the beginning of an iconic brand of home audio products. That assignment—to build a machine that would simulate earthquakes—became the springboard for a four-decade run of innovative ‘firsts’ and ‘onlys’ that have continually raised the benchmark for the entire home audio industry. And while Bob’s history includes the launch of dozens of now legendary speakers, the real roots of his company lie in the development of high performance amplifiers, preamps and one-of-a-kind receivers. Those earlier icons have lead to today’s newest heroes—the remarkable, high-performance 401 Series featured in this brochure. Each 401 Series product represents the latest thinking on the business of power from the company that has made the subject of power its main business. And, every 401 Series component is Sunfire Optimized™—meaning it is purpose-built to work best with any of our equally impressive speaker lines.

Welcome to the all-new 401 Series. Welcome to Sunfire.
