What do you get when you combine Bob Carver's unmatched audio design experience and his passion for stereophonic sound with the very latest in solid state devices? Why, the Sunfire Symphonic Reference Preamp and Symphonic Reference Power Amplifier, of course! One listen and you'll be smitten.

Not only does it sound sensual and sweet, but the Symphonic Reference Preamp has a beefy milled aluminum face with illuminated blue and gold buttons, milled aluminum remote, motorized volume control, an awesome phono stage for moving magnet or moving coil cartridges, and something you don't find on other Sunfire gear: a headphone jack!

The companion Symphonic Reference Amplifier utilizes the same Tracking Downconverter technology as its brothers in the Sunfire line. This Tracking power source creates power literally "on demand" for the bulletproof class AB bipolar output stage. The result is a 250 watt/channel amplifier that can drive virtually any load without wasted energy, so it runs cool! Bob's amplifiers are world renowned for their clarity, limitless dynamics, and open soundstage. The faceplate and lighting treatment match the preamplifier.

These two make a gorgeous duet that's always in harmony.
