    Rotel and a Sunfire Sub

    I currently have a Energy Veritas setup in my HT. However, I have a Paradigm 2200W subwoofer. I recently had a chance to hear the Sunfire True Sub EQ 11" in action and was really impressed with what the little cube could deliver. Does anyone use one with their setup? My Rotel gear is the 1068, 1080 for mains, and 1075 for center an surrrounds.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a sunfire HRS12, the more basic sunfire sub in the range vs the EQ version you have. I have read the differences are small between the HRS12 and the one you heard?

    I havent heard your one, but would guess its performance is at the very least the same.......

    I demo'd my sub against the mighty PC13 Ultra twice on two different occasions in two seperate rooms, and before anyone has a fit, no the sunfire wasnt as deep, obviously. However where I noticed the differences was the mid/upper bass ranges, in particular music. The sunfire played everything beautifully, the Ultra just seemed silent and muted in comparison. The Ultra was incredible though for movies, trouser flapping sub bass that makes you feel if something bad has just happened :E

    I have since demo'd an antimode 8033 with my sub at home and have now corner loaded it, the performance now is staggering and im getting some of that visceral sub bass I once experienced, and its still just as tight and fast. I run 803D, HTM2D and 805S with rotel 1570/1575.

    Very underestimated range of subs IMO, and if you havent had it long, wait until its run in!!

      Sub: sonotube, siting, EQ, delay?
      by ro9397
      Questions concern siting & enclosure material for a custom sub for a very high-end music reproduction system. Sub source is a mono signal from a proprietary pure-analog processor. Will start w/ one sub; depending on results may add a second sub.

      Sunfire Subwoofer

      It appears that my ears prefer the wavelength of a smaller driver. After trying dual then one Velodyne DD18 in my room, I found that they were not able to produce the musical bass I like. Then I moved to the Sunfire Signature 12” and found some improvement but similar negative results. While I feel...

      Sunfire Jr vs. Sunfire True Mark IV
      by Azeke
      Okay, my Sunfire True Mark IV has some damage, so I had to send it back to Sunfire. But wait, Sunfire says you can take it back to your dealer and have them send it in. Cool, maybe I can get my dealer to loan me another sub while mine is in the shop. Sure enough my dealer says I loan you the Sunfire...
