     There are several people on the Usenet newsgroups that actually
own the Sunfire amp.  You might want to ask on there for opinions.
Overall, I've read more good than bad.  Most the bad comments seemed
to come early on, probably due to bugs in the production cycle.  From
what I understand, it's not as well built as the Carver Lightstar from
a purely "rugged" perspective, but it can perform close to or as well
as it.  I wish I knew of a dealer nearby that carried them.  I'd like
to demo one with my AL-IIIs.
