2 REL Storms or 1 Stadium?


I have the JM Lab Micro Utopias. Right now they are hooked up to the YBA passion amp and I also use a single REL Storm sub woofer. Would I be better off getting another Storm or selling the Storm and getting a single Stadium?

Statman, I'm sure you are right the Stentor III is an awesome sub and I have thought about it as a possible future upgrade.
They are beautifully made and very musical subs. The Stadium has been trouble free and it's on 24/7.
Is the bass from the Storm (which version?)not integrated well enough in the room? The single Stadium III in my room has ample bass. The orientation and final placement is according to the setup instructions on the Sumiko site. I use the high level connection from the amp also. You might want to take a few minutes to follow those instructions, if you haven't already, before buying another sub or replacing the one you have. You really do need to move the sub in small increments during this process and it doesn't take long to first get it placed properly in the room.
I have read about good results using two Strata subs, but don't recall about doubling the Storm.

Actually the Stadium III is the entry into the upper level REL subs with an ARM loaded cabinet like the Stentor III and Studio III.
