Subwoofer Connection

REL REL REL. As always, the best sub recommendation is the REL ST series (www.rel.net), hooked up as recommended: High-level Neutrik connection from your amp's binding posts directly to the sub. These are not only the most musical subs out there, they are designed to do exactly what you want.

The most musical sub you can buy. Read the reviews, do searches here and at AA and AR etc. The real deal!

REL, enough said.

Try a Titan II LE. You'll love it. Be prepared to wait a month or two, they can't seem to keep up with demand. I think some of that might have to do with offering so many finish choices. I've done a lot of subwoofer auditioning in my 20year of audio, this sub just flat out makes music better than anything near it's price.

I heard the new HSU VTF-3 at THE SHOW and it is truly a REL killer and most other subs to boot (just give them the boot). It is only $849.

REL believes that going through two amps is better than just the sub's amp. This can only result in additive distortion and all the imperfect characteristics of both amps (there are excellent amps, but none are without some tiny flaws). Also, they adhere to using maximum room boundary by placing the sub in a corner. This alone inherently creates more problems than it solves.
