Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ????


Having heard a Sunfire Architectural Signature Sub. I was curious as to what the difference is between this sub and a comparable unit made by REL? Sound being most important. Would also like to know about build quality and price too.

REL IMHO makes a much better sub. The Sunfire subs are great for HT, but for two channel the RELs are much better. I have had the Sunfire True Signature and the REL Storm III. The REL was a big step up from the Sunfire.

Apples and oranges, again. Well, not really, but they are quite different. This is typical, like I've said before. Most, haven't had the listening experience with the Architectural series, and assume it's the same as the "True" line. It's not. The Sunfire True Signature is not the same (at all) as the Architectural. One is HT and one is specifically designed as a two channel music baby. The Architectural is tighter, faster, and more musical than the True. It's amazing and not talked about, enough.
I find Sunfire a bit more "aggressive" in nature than REL...this could also be slightly exaggerated due to the REL being a more laid-back, Brit sound sub...both are very clean and musical...and considering there are really only a handful of decent subs out there...worth considering...they both mate well with Maggies and Quads....which is probably the highest recommendation I can give..
I guess I would need to hear a REL unit to compare. The Architectural Sunfire was awesome with my Maggies. I couldn't imagine that the REL would sound better. It's a different situation when your living out in the boone docks. Not being able to audition different upper end items. But one does get curious after they read good articles about products. I appreciate all of the opinions once again. I had better stay with what I know with my own ears. Thanks again................
