Don't know what your budget is, but there is a JameEMB1500 for sale on the 'gon, for a great price. Might be negotiable, since it has been on the 'gon for awhile. Amazing sub, whether two channel audiophile listening or home theatre application. I should know: I have two of them. The 1500 moves the air, big time.
I have owned the Sunfire Architectural. There is no comparison to the James. Well, there is, but it is not good for the Sunfire. After living with my James for a couple of months and doing some serious two channel listening: I don't know how I lived with the Sunfire. I don't know about home theatre, but let's face it, I had to see how the James did with the Gladiator sound track. Unbelievable. Prodigious, taut, air moving bass of an order I didn't hear in my Sunfire. I had no sub woofer referrent with my Sunfire, so my ears were a bit ignorant. The Sunfire: playing complex bass runs is distortion city compared to the James. If you got the $$, go for the James. It'll bring you home.....
