Title: The beginning of the end for Sunfire
Post by: thuffman03 on November 16, 2010, 04:54:47 PM
As what seems to have happened to Carver Corp., Sunfire looks to be going down the same path.  They are stabbing the backs of the local distributors of Sunfire products and allowing Internet sales.  IMO it is like what Carver Corp. did when Bob left and they started selling at Circuit City.

Plus this sub they are producing sucks!  300 watt RMS!  WTF?

Bob left Friday, internet sales Tuesday. Down hill big time. Prices of old Sunfire gear going up.

As Bob said. Sunfire is f**ked!!!. However, new Carver tube gear is coming soon. This includes a 2 way tube X-over for all Carver/Carver Audio ribbon speakers( old and new ones that will be out soon) with Holography and Gundry perspective with RCA and balanced connections.   Hmmm... 8)
