CHAPTER 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Sunfire Theater Grand Amplifier . We hope you enjoy it and the music it makes as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you. The TGA-7401 can produce 400 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms and 800 watts rms into 4 ohms. The TGA-7201 can produce 00 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms, and 400 watts rms into 4 ohms. The big breakthrough is the uncanny tracking downconverter, which uses 18 Herculean Mosfets in the TGA-7401 and the TGA-7201. Th
