New REL T7 / T9 vs. older REL Storm III?


I just got some new speakers and am missing some of the full bodied sound of my previous speakers (Harbeth M-40.1's). I'm allowing myself approx. $1,000 for a REL sub and would like user input on whether I should go with the newer REL T7 or T9, or go with an older Storm versions?

Even though the new "T" series retails for considerably less than the older Storm's, I'm thinking that it's possible that the T series may be a better value given the simpler cabinetry, and maybe there is "flow down" technology on the newer, albeit less expensive T series that make them a better buy than the older, used Storm model.

Any thoughts or first hand experience with both the T series and Storm models would be appreciated.

I own the T7. It uses a 200w classA/B amp. Doesn't play ultra deep (maybe the high 20's), but integrates extremely well - fast, tight. Great value for money.
I own the T7, the 3rd REL I have owned. I use this with a pair of Magnepan MMG to fill in and tighten the bottom and I am very satisfied.
I found the RELs a tad booooomy and have switched to JL Audio subs which IMHO are far superior.
