Sunfire True Sub Jr. VS. M&K VX-100

I need a compact sub and was wondering if people had any thoughts as to which one of these is better? I am mainly interested in finding out which one is better for music, although home theater is a small part of the equation as well. My room is large (cathedral ceilings etc. but the listening position is barely 8 feet from the speakers). My main speakers are PSB Stratus Bronze (which go down to around 40 Hz). Also, because of severe space limitations I CANNOT consider full size subs. Input on the True Sub MK II as well would be useful. THANKS!!

I have listened (AND OWNED) both of these fine subs. I don't think you would regret owning either one of them. If I had to choose one, it would be the Sunfire. It seems to go a little lower, and to me a bit tighter than the M&K. But again, they are both fine subs.

You NEED to go check out HSU subwoofers. they are cyclinder in shape and go more vertical than out (if that isn't a problem). Their cost is comparable to both of the above mentioned, but handily outperform them both too.

Thanks to all of you for your input. Compact size is really the key in my case. Montoya, I saw your ad for the MX 70B - unfortunately, its about 20 inches high and that's too tall for my space. I am now also considering the Gallo Acoustics MPS 150 - it has the big advantage that the amp section can be separated from the subwoofer - doesn't go as low as the M&K or the Sunfire, but it may do the job. The problem with the HSU again, is height - 32 to 52 inches depending on the model.
