Magico Mini with REL Stentor Sub can it match?


Can MAGICO MINI 2 Work with good subs such as REL STENTOR 2 or 3.

I have MAGICO MINI 2 just added REL STENTOR sub its working great better bass sounstage etc some people say it wont work in my room 13wx19 1/2d with 9ft cealing i do have concrete floor and cealing with cinder block and brick walls.
REL subs are more suited to floor standing speakers that already have decent bass output...their philosophy is different from other subs. They fortify the bass as opposed to creating it in a system that has no bass below 50hz.

This is coming from a REL B2 owner and who has several monitor speakers...the sub only works with my Usher BE-718 speakers that have a decent amount of bass. Still it is not seemless in my room. If I started over I would look at Velodyne or JL.

Just my 2 cents...the good news is that the subs sell quickly if it doesn't work out.
The thing is with a sub you need to cross it over about the roll off frequency of your mains to make it integrate well. But I have had good luck with higher frequencies with faster slopes. I use a Velodyne DD15.
IM crossing over at 47k im still tuning to my room. ALL SET UP TIPS WELCOME!!
I have a REL Stadium III (equivalent to a Stentor II) and, having recently added bass traps floor-to-ceiling in the front corners, I can tell you that bass trapping is extremely important to get the big RELs to integrate well in a normal size room (mine is 14.5' X 23.5' x 10')and do what they are intended to do. Without the traps, my bet is that you will ultimately be dissatisfied with the tonal balance, although you will love the improvement in soundstaging and ambience.

I use the REL with Thiel CS5i's (very large full-range loudspeakers). With limited low-range speakers like monitors, I imagine that the traps could be even more important.

If you decide to buy a Stentor, go with the Stentor III if you can. The specs are significantly better than the II (more power, bigger cabinet, improved driver) and I have been told that it sounds faster. You will appreciate the difference. Also, consider the better after-market hi-level cable mandatory for best results.
