I heard the Triton Reference speakers at a local dealer, and I thought they sounded HORRIBLE. What was very evident was how the subwoofer section distorted the rest of the speaker in terms of distortion, cabinet resonance. There was LOTS of it, and made the whole listening experience very mediocre and average, especially at that $8500.00 price point! How a lot of these fake mostly positive reviews of the speaker is beyond me, it’s scary how misleading the audio industry could be to us consumers🤦🏻‍♂️

Audiolympian!!!!!!! I know my post is years past you putting this video review of the Sunfire Cinema Grand together. I hope you see this. I have this amplifier and I am the original owner. My amp is in perfect shape as far as I can tell (fingers crossed!) I have not run mine for thousands of hours....probably only in the hundreds of hours just because my life got busy and I postponed the hours I put into my hobbies. I bought some nice audio pieces long ago and just did not use them much. I love this amplifier...it's just spectacular! Mine was used to run a home theatre surround setup for about 10 years and then it went into mothballs for a long time. It is now resurrected and believe it or not I'm only running it as a stereo amp at this point with a powered subwoofer addition (Sunfire MK-II) with a B&K Reference 20 Preamp. Stereo speakers are Dynaudio Audience 7's (amazing). The music sources are all digital from either CD's through a Sony DVP-S7700 disk player or the Qobuz streaming service through computer/USB feed to a Geshelli Labs J2 DAC. Simple as can be and brilliantly clean/efficient for what I want to do. I do contemplate turntables and vinyl but I just don't want to go there. Too much work. I enjoyed your review. Please ping me if you get this comment. Fan of Sunfire/Bob Carver! Chris

@@StefanAI11 good but subjective question. Let me start by saying the GE speakers are super efficient so they will sound good with just a receiver. That’s the best part. But when paired with an amp they can soar. I’ve used and heard them with many amps. Prima Luna, sunfire, carver, Pass labs, emotiva, Parasound, marantz. So really imo it comes down to preference and budget. They were great with entry level emotiva, I prefer them with Parasound (mid level). The carver tube amp is spectacular with them.

@@corytodd1690 no problem. The way the device works, is you take speaker wire from the receiver and connect it to the device. Because of that you are still using the power of the receiver. So essentially you could say you are doubling up on the wattage of the front main speakers. For example if the receiver is 75 wpc and you connect a 50 wpc amp this way, it’s now 125 wpc on the front channels. You don’t bypass the amplification in the receiver. Now, if the receiver has preouts and you connect the amp to the receiver’s preouts then you would bypass the receiver’s amp section and now are using and external power source for amplification and leaving extra headroom for the other channels because the main channels are not being powered by the internal power supply. Hope that makes sense.
