Martin Logan Dynamo versus....

Well, I purchased an ML Dynamo for a 30 day trial to go with my Dynaudio Audience 52 (LCR) and Audience 42 (LR/RR). It sounds pretty good in my large room. I am about 60/40 movies to music. Due to space issues I have to have a very small sub. Can anyone that has listened to the sunfire true jr., true, or MJ Acoustics offer any advice on how those sound compared to the ML Dynamo? At some point I will add a second sub if need be.

While I think the Dynamo is a nice sub, I prefer the REL Q-108 and the smaller MJ Acoustics. I am using a MJ Pro 50 right now. They seem to be easiler to intergrate with my bookselves.

I'm never tried the ML dynamo. I have tried the MJ 50 with Martin Logan CLS 2z the seem to integrate well being very fast.

I had a Martin Logan Dynamo sub and sold it because it didn't integrate musically very well with my speakers. It would occasionally belch out dissproportionate growling low tones which although great for home theater stood out like a sore thumb with music. However my MJ Acoustics REF100 sub blended in perfectly with my floor standing Dynaudio 220 speakers and were more than adequate in a large living room. I had given up on using a subwoofer and didn't know a sub could sound so good. If you want a sub primarily for music and home theater is a distant 2nd consideration, you can't loose with an MJ Acoustics (or REL) sub.
