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 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..
Sunfire has a bad rep in "hi end circles"...mainly due to the poor quality of Carver componets after Bob left...bottom line: a sub is a driver AND an amp...a very powerful one at that...REL are nice..but Sunfire is no slouch...I dont find them "boomy" at all...but then again...this is if a sub..any sub..including REL ... is set up properly....hi enders can be very snobbish in regards to equipment....Sunfire are great subs...enjoy
