Dear Friend: | Bob Carver, Amplifier Designer, Physicist |

Thank you for purchasing my Sunfire Architect’s Choice Series II two channel power
amplifier. I hope you enjoy it and the music it makes as much as I have enjoyed creating it for you.
This magnificent amplifier represents my very latest thinking - and my best amplifier design ever. I’ve spent over twenty years developing it, and cannot imagine how I could make it any better, or refine it any further. No matter what, its performance is, at first, somewhat difficult to believe.
The Sunfire Signature Edition can produce 625 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms and 1250 watts rms into 4 ohms.
The Sunfire Standard Edition can produce 325 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms, and 650 watts rms per channel into 4 ohms.
The big breakthrough feature of the Sunfire Amplifier is its uncanny tracking downconverter, which uses 18 Herculean Mosfets in the Signature Edition and 12 in the Standard Edition.
The circuit boards are heavy glass epoxy, double sided, with a Faraday shield on the back side. All resistors in the signal path are 1% tolerance,
I could go on and on, but here’s the best part: I’ve included two kinds of left and right outputs:
(1)a standard
(2)a
Whichever way you decide to hook up the Sunfire power amplifier, it will create a multilayered soundstage that is deep, wide,
