"Anybody ever wonder why I never talk about Sunfire yet I have owned many models and talk about Carver amplifiers all the time?"
Might be, Tom; however, since you seem to agree with Kingman on this:
"it only matters what it sounds like to you"
Therefore, why should your opinion on the subject matter at all?? The only thing that matters is "how it sounds to US", not what anyone else thinks about how it sounds, right? See the problem with that philosphy? Negates any discussion, any opinion of design parameters, anything but "what it sounds like to you".....no discussion needed: nothing else (apparently) matters!
