Sound & Vision Online - Theater Grand Receiver III
"It’s true that $5,000 is a lot of coin for an A/V receiver, and next to models half its cost, the Sunfire Theater Grand Receiver 3 looks Spartan. But this receiver is all about audio performance — quantity as well as quality. If you don’t demand extensive surround modes, or more than three fully equipped A/V inputs (all most of us will ever need), this Sunfire receiver is a world-beater."


Audiophile Audition - Ultimate Receiver II
"It is compact, runs cool, and the silver finish makes it look as high end as it sounds."

"If Sunfire will let me keep it I’d gladly use it to drive the surround system in my own home.  Recommended!"



Ultimate A/V - Ultimate Receiver II
"At around $5000, the Ultimate II is an expensive receiver, but its combination of high power, high performance, good looks, ease of use, and light weight make it one of the most attractive A/V receivers I have yet encountered. It's as easy to recommend as it was to listen to and use."


HomeEntertainmentReviewer.com - Cinema Grand - 400~Seven

“Bob Carver is legendary…”
 
“I have never heard a more powerful, seven-channel amplifier with a more natural, open-sounding midrange or a more convincing soundstage and I've definitely never known a multi-channel amplifier that could drive a seven-channel, Martin Logan home theater to such ear-splitting levels.”
 
“I highly recommend this amplifier…”



Review of TGIV/400~seven – Nov/Dec 2004
“Of the processors you’ve reviewed, which would you rather own? Absolutely the Sunfire. No question about it.”



Robb Report Home Entertainment & Design - Theater Grand III
"TGIII’s sound tickled my fancy from the first DVD. I did not think, as I expected to, that the TGIII sounded good. I thought it sounded great. “Sweet” is the word I would use to describe it."


AudioRevolution.com - Theater Grand IV

Tim Hart, the reviewer, flips out when he tests the TGIV, stating “The level of performance that the TGIV gives its owner is staggering. The sonic characteristics alone are worth the price of admission.” Further, he says ”…this performance with movie soundtracks puts the TGIV up at the top of its peer group.”

He concludes by saying, “The TGIV is a rock solid, great sounding AV preamp that can hang with the best of the best for a fraction of the cost. Mark another one up for Bob Carver – this preamp rocks.”


AudioRevolution.com - Cinema Grand
"Still, I give the Cinema Grand a rousing endorsement. It is quite an achievement for this amp to rival the performance of the Proceed AMP2 and AMP3 for less than half the cost of the two amps combined ($1,995 and $2,995, respectively). This amp is a genuine bargain a $2,375. Realistically, it is still a lot of money, but the Cinema Grand's performance is remarkable when you consider it costs literally thousands of dollars less then many other amps in its category."

Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity - Ultimate Receiver
"With 200 watts per channel into seven channels plus subwoofer, the Ultimate Receiver is no pussycat. That is a lot of speaker cones moving at the same time, and I have to say the sensation is a thrill ride with that much power. I cranked it up with such movies as "Pearl Harbor" in the attack scene, and it was almost like reliving December 7, 1941."
