Gthirteen, thanks for the clarification. I have a friend with dedicated home theater in a custom built room who uses two Sunfire subs. The sound in the room is excellent, without the subs calling any unnecessary attention to themselves. Your explanation of the flooring aspect makes a lot of sense. In stores the Sunfire was consistantly boomy. Although I was not bowled over with excitement listening to my friends system, there was nothing wrong with it at all. I use my system for 70% music and 30% movies and TV. The REL had such good pitch that I couln't make an improvement on it, without mucho dinero to spend. Hope you enjoy your system.
