Like its predecessors, the Theater Grand III is foremost an audiophile-grade preamplifier. Bob and his team designed it to produce a warm and engaging soundstage – both your movie and music soundtracks will be smooth and dynamic. The Theater Grand III features numerous surround modes including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and user-configurable all-speaker stereo. It also includes an incredible new digital implementation of Bob's wildly successful Holographic Imaging, which substantially adds to the acoustic space of any stereo recording.

The control system on the Theater Grand III takes into consideration the needs of the modern AV system. The Theater Grand III’s remote is a powerful new preprogrammed and learning LCD-based design (click HERE to see it). The Theater Grand III includes an RS 232 communication port to allow easy operation from any custom control system, as well as an IEEE-1394 (Firewire™) port for future expansion. The Theater Grand III also includes an AM/FM tuner with 40 presets, an eight-channel input for DVD-Audio or SACD, eight balanced XLR outputs, a Phono stage, and much, much more. We urge you to see one right away at your local Sunfire Dealer.

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.
