Sunfire vs. Definitive Technology subwoofers

Drewfidelity, you're comparing the "True" which is a home theatre sub. The Architectural series are design for 2 channel. Much more musical. In fact, better in every way for 2 channel. I preferred them, because of their musicality, over many more expensive subs, including the Velodyne, etc.

Warrenh, actually the True Subwoofer Solitare EQ subwoofer that I had in my system is the new version of the Sunfire Architectural series, that is one active woofer without the passive radiators that the non-archetectural Sunfire subwoofers possess, which you believe is designed for 2 channel. This new series includes a microphone that attaches to the subwoofer and allows for room correction after a series of testtones are put forth from internal software of the Sunfire.

This was, by far, the worst sounding subwoofer of those that I have had in my system. Nowhere near as detailed as either the Mark IV or Signature that I had previously owned. I returned it to the dealer after five days and purchased his leftover Mark IV, my second of these subwoofers.

If you like what you have now you will absolutely be blown away by the Definitive Technology SuperCube Reference. Just take the time to level match with your primary speakers and keep the crossover point as low you can while covering the entire audio spectrum.

Both great bang for the buck. Excellent reviews for both companies. The VMPS line has garnered rave reviews for their bass since the 80's. No servos, just high quality, low distortion and well controlled bass. HSU also makes very nice subs for the money. Go to audioreview.com and you can also find user reviews for these subs. Cheers
