Keeping the model, year, version the same with dual subs is smart. Buying a pair together closer in serial number helps ensure there is less chance of variation.
Older vs. newer REL subs
Looking for any reports about older vs. newer REL subs.
I have a REL 328 (ca. 2013) which I bought used. It's a good sub.

I would like to upgrade to stereo subs and I've found (finally) another REL 328 which would match mine. But, before I drop coin on that, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience comparing their older REL with a newer one. What's changed? What's better, worse, or the same? I'm considering the T7x and T9x lines.
Hoping for apples to apples comparisons, vis a vis driver size, type of sub (e.g. level of product line, sealed vs. ported, music vs. HT etc.) but whatever old vs. newer comparison you have much appreciated.
Thanks.

Speaking of older REL subs... Can anyone provide any insight to the BK electronics subs? They were the OEM builders of the orignal REL models?(as I understand, clarify if necessary) https://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/Sub_Woofers/P12300SB-PR.html They seem reasonably priced for what they are. Not as high tech as the current REL, but seemingly competent. Looks like they still use the same driver from 15 years ago. |
I have both a G2 and a Stadium lll and each has attributes that are unique to each. The G2 is fast enough to keep up with the 6 servo controlled woofers in my Genesis G500 speakers but I had trouble blending it with other speakers. The Stadium lll on the other hand has extension that provides a different acoustic signature and its speed blends better with most speakers. Think of the G series as a Porsche and the ST series as a Cadillac. The Stadium lll provides solidity and air and the G2 adds speed and definition. Hope that helps |
