Questions regarding Sunfire Cinema Grand setup


I just purchased this amp, and I noticed I have the choice of hooking up the L and R mains as Current or Voltage. It is my understanding that the Current setting, will provide a more "tube-like" sound, which intrigues me. My concern is that I don't have this option for the center channel.

Does anyone know if I use the Current settings for my mains, would it sound strange for home theater, since my center speaker would be setup as Voltage.

I am assuming that it was designed this way because in a movie setup, you won't notice the difference, whereas in two channel, you can go with whatever setting you like better.

Does anyone have any real world experience with setting this amp up either way?

Thanks

I have had this amp for almost 2 yrs. I had it set-up both ways, and did not notice a difference in home theater applications. I use the current setting as I like it better for music.

Great amp, I really like mine.
Thanks Dpl35.

I haven't even hooked it up yet, and I feel like I bought the wrong one. I see that more recent models have all three front speaker hookup options for current or voltage. Oh well, I will give it a shot. Hopefully I will like the voltage better anyway, and if not, I won't notice the difference (as you don't) for theater applications using the current hookup for the left and right speakers.
Alot of us have 2 channel tube pre's hooked up to our dual use HT systems and for movies you wont notice it.
Greg,

You are mistaken, all the current Sunfire amps have the current and voltage source outputs only for the front left and right speakers.
I used a Sunfire signature amp in my home theater setup...I tried both ways and I could never tell the difference in the home theater application.
