REL Q150e vs. Sunfire True Subwoofer Jr.


Has anyone compared the REL Q150e vs. the Sunfire True Subwoofer Jr.? I have a REL Strata III and am very pleased with it, but I want the smaller footprint of the other two mentioned. The fact that the Sunfire's woofers are on opposite sides could present installation problems in the future. I am also told that the Sunfire can be quite boomy vs. the smoothness of the REL.

I'm not so sure that Johnnyw's hypothesis is correct regarding the Jr. being less effective than the larger Sunfire. The smaller, lighter driver of the Jr. is reported to make the Jr. better suited to music reproduction than the larger Sunfires. Check out owners reviews on Audioreview.com. I purchased the Sunfire Jr. because I absolutely had no room for anything larger and have been pleased with it (used with Magenpan 1.6's.)
The unit MUST be spiked and weighted for best sound, and it takes some time to break in and sound it's best. If you've got the room for the REL, I'd sure consider that one though. Will.
