    Nice!!! :D
    They won't offer me the same price they offered you on it.

    I'll email my contact and see if he can help out here since we're a forum, perhaps like a group buy or something.

    would this be a suitable replacement for the Sunfire?

    That would be cool.
    It would be interesting to see if and how he'd help out.

    So far the amp is very clear and dynamic in my HT setup. I'm very happy with it. Dialog is very clear and crisp via the CSi5 along with the surround channels. This thing seems to have tons of headroom as I only had the volume at -15. I tested numerous Sdtks via Blu, HD DVD, and SD DVD. One of my fav is the depth charge scene from U-571, the Sunfire provided excellent SQ via the surrounds, so lifelike as if I was actually in the submarine. I think I'm finally done with purchasing gear for awhile.

    Sherardp,

    Very nice setup. Now just peel that sticker off the 07 and you'd be all set!;)

    Nice.

    I'm glad to hear you like it so much already.
    Oh and hey, how much are selling your 07 for (you said something about that in another thread)...:p;)

    Been in the theater room half the day tweaking, adjusting, cable management, installation. Overall I'm very happy with it, looks awesome paired up with the Elite and my D-Sonic. It's raining here so I'm inside all day in the theater room playing. Moved the outlaws out and the Sunfire is a perfect fit.

    Have you tried the Sunfire on your mains just to compare it to the D-Sonic?

    So far I'm really enjoying what I hear. There's allot of detail in scene 2(SKY) of the movie Hero in DTS, it sounds amazing in my 7.2 setup. Check it out if you can.
    Not sure what I would sell it for, I dont think my rack would fit the SC09, though I would love to own it if I could get it for less than 3500.

    No I havent tried it on my fronts in order to compare the D-Sonic. Perhaps I'll give it a shot in the future and see how they measure up in 2channel. Both are very nice products though. The Sunfire is built like a tank, and is of excellent build quality. One of my main reasons for the Sunfire was power in a small chasis but yet @ an afforadable low price. Being that I'm overseas shipping is often times a dealer killer. So after doing my homework, asking some Q's here, I pulled the trigger, so thanks all for helping me out. I'm very content with my setup as of now.

    Thanks Mike,

    I like stickers, remember the ole'scratch and sniff. Blueberry was my favorite, always made me want to eat my homework papers.

    I'll probably peel it, just didnt in case I sell it. I try not to finger my gear that much and leave it as is for resale.

    I would also be interested in hearing your views on the sunfire vs the D-sonic. I almost bought a d-sonic actually.
    I got a sunfire Sig II 625 x 2 instead.

    Thanks all and sorry for the hi jack.

    On another note, I did email my POC and he will and can lower the price since we're considered a "group". For those interested let me know in a PM. Amps are new in box, priced below 1500(TGA5200). Zero affiliation with the seller but will vouch for the guy as he has offered excellent customer service. They have all models in stock. Of course price may vary with the higher output models.
