Sunfire Theater Grand III Pre/Pro

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I recently bought a Sunfire TGIII ($3500 list) to replace my 3 year old Rotel 985 (list $2000). Rather than have one 5.1 analog input, the Sunfire can turn any analog input into direct analog. Now I have a solution if I decide to add a DVD-A player. Would also work well with the 777-XA's stereo and 5.1 outputs.
Unfortunately there's only one multichannel input. It's 7.1 if I remember correctly. Right now its unused, since I have a Stereo Sony 9000ES.
The Sunfire has a very good bass mgt system, but only works with digital processing.
The Sunfire is vastly superior to the Rotel in regards to playing music through the digital processing.
Bass is vastly superior to the Rotel--deeper and more defined.
Comparing analog bypass, the Rotel and Sunfire mid-range and trebble are close, but the Sunfire is better.
The phono prepreamp in the Sunfire is superior to my 20 year old phono preamp that I've been using. Listened to 7-8 records since Saturday. I still prefer SACD to vinyl, but my vinyl never sounded better.
My SACDs sound better than ever.
