"Warm" amp questions and suggestions...

[digitalvideo]

I'm interested in learning more about amps and I read that a "warmer" amp is better or prefered. Why is that and which amps are considered best for SQ?

My current amp is a Carver/Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature 400 7.

My amp is the only amp I've heard with my setup. I've had the pleasure of hearing a Krell amp at someone else's house hooked up to B&W speakers but that was for 2 channel classical music only.

If some amps sound better with different HT setups than others, my current HT is:

Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-151FD plasma
Pioneer Elite SC07 reciever
Pioneer Elite BDP-23FD bd
Carver/Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature 400 7
Definitive Technology Mythos ST
SVS PB12 Ultra sub

Have you tried the two different inputs on your sunfire amp. The one should give you a warm sound from what I have read. It is supose to sound like a tube amp.
