Sunfire Cinema Grand

The Cinema Grand Standard Edition can produce 225 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms, and 450 watts rms per channel into 4 ohms.

The big breakthrough feature of the Cinema Grand is its uncanny tracking downconverter, which uses 18 Herculean Mosfets in the Signature Edition and 12 in the Standard Edition.

The circuit boards are heavy glass epoxy, double sided, with a Faraday shield on the back side. All resistors in the signal path are 1% tolerance, metal-film. Critical capacitors are film devices with high dielectric strength and ultra low absorption characteristics. An enormous Cinema Grand power source built around a massive power transformer provides the ultimate muscle for limitless dynamics.

(1) a standard voltage-source (i.e., near zero impedance) output for all typical applications and (2) a higher-impedance current-source output, which many prefer for electrostatic, planar mag- netic, or ribbon speakers. Or you can biwire your system with the voltage source driving the woofer(s) and the current source driving the upper part of the system. In many cases this provides by far the best possible interface between the amplifier and the speaker system.
