The Storm is not that much bigger. It is the same width and depth; and only 4 inches higher. It weighs 15 lbs more. The extra 50 watts of power are worth it in my opinion. That and the design lets it go lower. You could read the HiFi Choice Magazine reviews online of both. They also preferred the Storm between the two. They liked them both overall. (So do I).
REL subs--Strata III or Storm III ??
I am in the market for a sub to add to my music only system.I gather from most of the things I have read that the REL storm III is clearly preferred over the StrataIII. However, given size considerations I would prefer the smaller Strata unless doing so is giving up too much in sound quality. I would like opinions on this dilemna. My system is Krell KAV line of electronics and B&W 804 speakers. Thanks for all help. Don
