Seller's Description

Verkaufe meinen ultra-kompakten High-End Subwoofer der Kultmarke Sunfire (Bob Carver Design). Ein absolutes Kraftpaket für Musik- und Heimkino-Fans!
⚠️ WICHTIGER HINWEIS – BITTE LESEN:
Dieser Subwoofer wurde auf PASSIVEN Betrieb umgebaut. Er hat KEINE eingebaute Steckdosen-Endstufe mehr! Er wird genau wie eine ganz normale Lautsprecherbox mit einem Lautsprecherkabel an einen externen Verstärker / Endstufe angeschlossen. Ich habe ihn selbst problemlos an einem Kanal meines Yamaha RX-V2008 betrieben – das funktioniert wunderbar!
Details auf einen Blick:
• Kult-Modell: Sunfire 13-Zoll-Würfel (ca. 33 x 33 x 33 cm) – extrem platzsparend!
• Technik: 1 aktiver Tieftöner + 1 Passivmembran für extrem tiefen, trockenen Bass.
• Gewicht: Unfassbare 24 kg – massiv, schwer und absolut vibrationsfrei gebaut.
• Zustand: Optisch gut mit normalen Gebrauchsspuren, spielt technisch einwandfrei als Passiv-Box.
Übergabe / Abholung:
Der Subwoofer ist aktuell sicher in der Garage verpackt. Wegen der 24 kg KEIN Versand. Da ich viel unterwegs bin, ist eine Abholung sehr flexibel an folgenden Orten möglich:
• Oberhausen
• Duisburg
• Sankt Augustin
Wer zuerst kommt und das Ding einlädt, bekommt es. Kaffee bei Abholung ist Ehrensache! ☕

Privatverkauf ohne Garantie oder Rücknahme.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

€150 is a strong bargain, sitting well below the €209 25th-percentile mark and far under the €308 median for comparable used examples.

The Sunfire design is genuinely special: Bob Carver’s compact subwoofers combine a long-throw active driver, passive radiator, and highly efficient tracking-downconverter amplification to produce unusually deep, forceful bass from a small cabinet. The “passive conversion” makes this a less conventional proposition, so confirm exactly what has been modified and whether the external amplifier, crossover, and wiring are included. If the conversion is competently done and the driver is healthy, €150 leaves considerable room for experimentation and represents an excellent enthusiast buy.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Carver

Founded in 1979 in the United States by audio innovator Bob Carver, a physicist and engineer from the Pacific Northwest, the Carver brand emerged from his earlier work at Phase Linear, where he designed groundbreaking amplifiers like the 1972 Phase Linear 700—the most powerful consumer amp of its era. Carver Corporation quickly built on this foundation, delivering hand-crafted amplifiers that combined cutting-edge technology with immense power at accessible prices, revolutionizing high-fidelity sound for everyday enthusiasts.

Carver specialized in power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems, earning acclaim for magnetic field amplification and other proprietary designs that prioritized performance over luxury pricing. The brand expanded into professional audio with Carver Professional in 1984 and home cinema via Sunfire in 1994, while maintaining a core focus on robust, high-output electronics rather than speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.

Positioned as a populist force in the hi-fi market, Carver brought audiophile-grade power to the middle class, rivaling elite brands at a fraction of the cost and fostering a loyal following among vintage collectors today. Though corporate shifts and the 2024 closure of Bob Carver Corp marked challenges, its legacy endures as mid-tier innovation that democratized excellence, now overseen by Carver Holdings Group.
