Im afraid I am referring to the preamp processor . Sunfire theater grand processor II ......
I dont think I can afford one of the nice amps ..I have seen those too
Just be aware of the limitations. In the world of pre/pros, that's a pretty old unit for HT duties. If your focus is music, I would suggest a stereo preamp; the video sections can add noise. Best to not have any video capabilities if your primary focus is music.
I would not agree that just because it has video capabilities it is going to be noisy. It is very versatile, has a good phono section, and quiet background. I am on my second one, and should have never sold the first one.
Many years ago I started out with a Marantz pre/pro (not a cheap one either) just as a preamp for a 2-ch only setup. Upgrading to a stereo only 2-ch preamp was a great move.
Now that I've had more time to listen to this duo I agree that it's two channels duties are EXCELLENT. Noise? None that I can detect.I would not agree that just because it has video capabilities it is going to be noisy. It is very versatile, has a good phono section, and quiet background.

You have a fine amp.nice!...ive not heard a carver amp yet....but id like too. but I have a B&K 442 and with its massive coke size caps I find it hard to imagine a carver having the same brute power.
