Carver Silver 9T versus Carver Signature Amp


Has anyone heard both the original Carver Silver 9T and the Sunfire Signature Stereo Amp (not the Series II)?

I have a pair of Carver Amazing Platinums and I need a substantial amplifier to drive them.

Any comments are appreciated.

I owned a pair of Carver Silver 9t monoblocks....sold them and bought a Sunfire Signature. The Sunfire Signature was better all around, but it did not have the bass slam that the monoblocks had. So, I went out and bought two pair of the Silver 9t monoblocks and bi-amped my system. I kept the Sunfire Signature and I'm thinking of buying another one to try out the vertical bi-amp setup that I've heard about...

I'm running a pair of Infinity Kappa 9 speakers as my fronts, they dip down to amp-killing low impedances and are notorious power hogs.

One pair of 9t's or a single Sunfire Signature will do the trick.

To really make those speakers sing, you will probably need a couple of Sunfire Signature amps or two pair of Silver 9t's in some sort of bi-amp setup. While a single pair of 9t's or one Sunfire Signature was very good...the bi-amp setup was a whole new world.

good luck.......mitch
