Jack i heard the Carver AL-111 speakers at the 1996 Stereophile show in NY.
The system was the Carver Lightstar Reference amp. Carver Lightstar passive preamp.
Wadia 16 CD player.
This was one of the best sounding systems i heard at the show.
The soundstage was gigantic and really impressive. The bass was fast and tight.
That Carver Lighstar Reference amp was amazing. It sounded like a top of the line tube amp.

Actually it was the Carver AL 111+ speakers i heard at the 96 Stereophile show.
Do you know if the carver lightstar amp , became his Sunfire amp ?BTW Those light star amps are very rare ...
I'm pretty sure they are related. If so the concept is very interesting. The sliding power supply running cool is fascinating but probably the second most important factor in the amp's design. If my friend is correct and I do trust him, the fact that the power supply voltage and signal voltage are always close(within 5 volts) means the output devices are running in a very linear region which is obviously good for performance. I'm told this is mentioned in the Sunfire white paper.
The sunfire is not a bad sounding amp , actually , pretty good considering its price point , quite possibly his best SS amp.
