REL Storm III or Strata III


I've read great reviews for both subs. I'm looking for the best complement for my main speakers (Thiel 22's) and listening room (15x16x7). I'm runniing plenty of power to my Thiels (400wpc) and they sound great. I am planning to add a sub primarily because of a recent addition to Home Theater but also want the best audio for my two channel. I'm leaning to the Strata III because of what I've read, they have a slightly tighter sound with no ill effects of a ported design to that of the Storm III. Also if I come to the conclusion that the Strata cannot kept up with my Thiels, I could always mortgage my home and get a second Strata. I really don't want to go that route if the Storm is all that I will ever need. Anyone who as owned or heard both in the same listening room, please give me some feedback. Thanks

The Strata III has 100 watts if I am not mistaken, I believe it is the Strata II that has 60 watts.
Correct, and the Storm II was 100 watts; the Storm III is 150 watts. Go to www.hifichoice.co.uk and read their reviews on both the Storm III and Stratus III. They are a mid-fi and budget audiophile magazine. The rated the Storm III their favorite of all subwoofers in the price ranges they review.
Thanks to all those who responded. Your information and feedback in greatly appreciated.
