128x128avrij
thanks for the responses,,, my room is only about 13x17 and i think i just have too much bass with the aktiv 5140s and the sunfire..... the true is the model before the signature,
back when they first came out mid to late 90s.

kenny, talk to me when your are looking to move your stuff.
avrij..in a smaller room the rel strata II or III works quite well; very musical, slam when required, and a ten inch downfiring woofer..small footprint..

about 600 to 900 used; III model is more expensive and worth it if you can swing it....better crossover controls, low FR volume in addition to overall volume control, remote for bass output (very useful)
i had a rel strata III and currently have a sunfire signature..

the rel was better for music(seamless) and the sunfire was better for home theatre(incredible slam and small footprint)...i wouldn consider the james for a happy medium...
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.....
No brainer - Revel B15 (or B 30).
You don't have to worry about placement as you have an EQ built in, and the output is outrageous.
