Rel vs. MJ Acoustics vs. Sunfire

I currently own a MJ 100MKII and love the fact it comes with a wireless remote. Much easier to set up then a Rel, imo. My sub isn't the deepest sounding sub but is surely one of the most musical.

Ever have the opportunity to hear the 50MKII? What are some other subs you've tried and how you think it compares?

Yes I've heard the 50 and its a little wimpy when compared to the 100. Even when compared to the ERA it seemed lacking. I think the 100 is the way to go, IMO.

I had a Sunfire, and it doesn't belong in the same group and MJ Acoustics and REL. The Sunfire is of the compact home theater genre of dinasaur stomping room shaking subwoofers, whereas the MJ Acousics and REL are of the few subwoofers truely disigned to augment music well.

If your preference is music and you want your speakers sound natural and 'larger' than they are, then REL and MJ Acoustics are the way to go. However, the MJ is made in England instead of China and has a remote with four programs which is very nice, along with a better price. For a musical sub, to me the MJ Acoustics is the clear winner. I have found those other, super deep room shaking subs to sound uncomfortable for extended listening and out of place with music.

If you love good music and extension and that is your primary reason for wanting a sub (and sicken a little in your stomach at excessive unsettling ultra deep bass that doesn't blend well), end your search for the ultimate musical sub and buy an MJ Acoustics.
