Sunfire subs

It seems that whenever someone asks about a recommendation for a sub it's always Velodyne, Rel, HSU, Rythmic, etc. Sunfire is never mentioned. Some years back, when the TS-EQ12 came on the scene I read an article in TAS that paired it with the Mag 3.6's and called it the proverbial "match made in heaven". I had 3.6's at that time paired with an M&K sub. I bought the Sunfire and it was like night and day. I now have it paired with my Mag 3.7's. I was wondering if there's something wrong with the Sunfires. I've never had a problem.(knock wood) Why do they never get any attention?

I am using a stereo pair of Sunfire Signatures subs with my Magnepan 20.1s with great success. I previously used them with 3.5 for many years.
Improperly set up Sunfire subs will demonstrate all of the negatives mentioned above. For best results:

1. Keep the subs away from room boundaries.

2. keep the volume as low as possible.

3. Use the lowest xover frequency of 30 hz when possible.

4. use minute adjustments in the volume and Phase to maximize clarity and minimize "muddiness" in the crossover region.

My subs are undectable in my system, blends seamlessly with my 20.1s, are tuneful and certainly not "boomy"
