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.

I just returned from a two hundred fifty mile trip to seek out the REL subwoofers. I listened to both Sunfires and RELs. However they didn't have any Maggies but they did have Martin Logans. I thought the REL subs sounded muttery and not at all like the Sunfire Signatures. This is all about opinions and I'm certain that several will disagree with mine too. Bottom line is ...... I came home with a brand new Sunfire Architectural Signature. Maybe the REL does work with other speakers. But even with the MLs they didn't blend well at all. As for Maggies vs MLs. I already chose Maggies for their superior performance over the other. Thanks for all of the opinions and a special thanks to those whom are Maggie owners.....................
Zenieth: Congratulations. I am happy that you used your own ears to make your purchasing decision. Ultimately, that is what matters. As you can see from this forum, opinions are "dime-a-dozen".

When properly integrated with the maggies, you will have a full range system which will make beautiful music, that will be hard to beat for under $10k.

Amen!
I owned the sunfire signatures and the MK2 and both are not in my system anymore. I have the REL Stentor 2 and will be getting the REL Stentor 3 . I also had the ENTEC SW 10. Rel stumps them all. I have both the Quad ELS 63 USA monitors and Maggies 3.6R Jadis Jp 80 preamp and VTL 450 monoblocks amps. I wish I could afford 2 Stentor 3 subs.
