New R Series Rel Subs


Any info outside of there web site. I'm looking to replace my Acoustic Research sub and the new R series sounds like it will do music and movies well.My needs are mainly music.

Hey Y'all,

I've heard it in my system. Clean and clear, there is LFE coming from the subs below 20 HZ. I don't know if I feel, because of course you can't hear down to 13 HZ, the LFE down to 13 Hz. In fact there might not be any LFE down to 13 Hz in any of the music I listen to. But there is in the movies and let me tell you, I've never before felt the impact that these subs present from any other sub I've own and I've owned several pairs including Rel, Velodyne and B&W. Hey, enough of me babbling. Go to the MJ Acoustic wed site and read it for yourself. Or better yet, seek out a dealer to hear and feel it for yourself. I have no affiliation with MJ at all. I'm just a happy customer, trying to spread the word on these fantastic subs.......John
I think we'd all like the opportunity to feel 13HZ.

What's the name of the movie you're recommending for reference & testing?

Seriously, I don't know how low they go...but placement (with all subs) is they key to squeezing out the lowest response.

I'm surprised there isn't an algorithm for maximum sub output.

Here's one I've been working on:

SweetSpot = 23.667 x distance from the age of the oldest listener in the room (- .53 for extensive crown molding) to the nearest toilet + total time of movie trailers and unwatched bonus materials on DVD.

NOTE: Please allow +/- 20ft for your individual requirements and circumstances.

I am in the market for new Sub for my HT. I'll check MJ out. I have been leaning in the DD-18 or 15 direction but the Rel had also piqued my interest. I havent heard any of these so I have my work cut out!
What's better than one REL R Series....an second $799 open box REL R series.

So now I've got the R-205 and R-305...they're sitting right next to each other.

The R-205 has the same driver as the R-305 but 1/2 the power. And the cabinet is about 2 inches smaller.

I was surprised to hear things from the little guy that I don't hear with the R-305.

FYI: Stacking them on top of each other does not deliver much sound.

Now that I have the pair, I wish I'd bought the larger and more powerful R-505.
