REL subs--Strata III or Storm III ??


I am in the market for a sub to add to my music only system.I gather from most of the things I have read that the REL storm III is clearly preferred over the StrataIII. However, given size considerations I would prefer the smaller Strata unless doing so is giving up too much in sound quality. I would like opinions on this dilemna. My system is Krell KAV line of electronics and B&W 804 speakers. Thanks for all help. Don

Just a comment; a Stratus II only has a 60 watt amp, and has a different internal design than the Stratus III, which other than the name is a totally differenct sub.
I also use the Storm III with ML speakers - a great match!
You would be hard pressed to do better w/o spending a lot
more money.
Each step up the REL line is a pretty big jump in quality, so go with the biggest one you can get away with. I had a Storm III and changed to a Stadium III - BIG improvement! I have heard that the Stentor is better still, but haven't heard it in my system.
I had the same dilemma and had a chance to compare StormIII with StrataIII A to B - big difference, to be short with Storm sound is much more natural. I ended up with Storm
and vary happy with it.
I have two Strata III, I prefer the bass from closed boxes, and two subs are better for imaging and should outperform one Storm...
