M_Klipsches Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Sunfire Cinema Grand Architect’s Choice Series II, Five Channel Amplifier I’ve recently upgraded my “music room” to a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature amp, and had planned to use this one in the family room system. However it won’t easily fit in the AV stand, and rather than redo everything (0 WAF) it makes more sense to just sell it, and let someone else make use of it. Output is 225 Watts/channel, with all channels driven (8 Ohm load) It works perfectly, is dead quiet, and sounds fantastic. I’ve even replaced the lamp in the Joule Meter. While it is in great working order, it does have some nicks and scratches also one small dent in the top of the case. The face of the unit does present well and it looks good in the rack. I’ll be happy to send additional pics, if desired. I’m limited by file size on this post. $850, plus shipping, I’ll work with ya on shipping, as best I can. Pick up is possible, if you are close enough to make it worth your while. Edited June 17, 2021 by M_Klipsches Sold 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makos Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Looks like a good deal for someone. If I was in the market for an HT amp I'd be all over this. People tend to hold on to these so you don't see them on the used market very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one mostly saw two channel use driving La Scalas, where it sounded great with just about anything you’d care to hear. Everything from horns, Hammond B3 Organs, to cellos. But it is certainly capable of some serious cinema sound when called upon. “The Hobbit”, was phenomenal. I know I sound like I’m selling it; oh wait, I am selling it. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg357 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 glws. can you please explain the purpose of the duplicate coax inputs per channel and the multiple spkr outputs for each of the 3 front channels? thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg357 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 you don't get a thread bump by reading TFM. thanks for the explanation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Klipsches Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 For me, the difference in the two options is damn subtle. Although I will say that the voltage source was somewhat more pleasing to my ear. At least through the La Scalas, other speakers might be different. It’s nice to have options. I’ve never used the XLR Inputs, as my AVR doesn’t support them. Supposed to be quieter, but I can’t imagine how it could be “quieter” than completely silent. But hey, maybe so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Very nice amp. Good luck with your sale. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Klipsches Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 This is still available. My wife will be going to her sister’s for a few days, I might just take things apart and try to find a way to use it in the family room system. So if you are on the fence...

M_Klipsches Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 It’s still available. If anyone wants to try an external amp, this is a good chance to get a nice one. I’ve never been insulted by an offer. I may have turned it down, but hey, at least there’s a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 the other nice thing about this amp is its 17" wide while all the other Sunfire's are 19" wide i have this same amp ( 19" ) and the theater Grand or i would own this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I also use this amp, with balanced cables. It's been years so I paid a lot more for mine. It still works just fine. Killer deal people! You don't find specs this one has for this cheap. Made in USA before the company sold as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
