Sub for 2 channel music only setup

I had 2 Rel Stadium III for my HT slash 2 channel system. I felt the Stadium III was not fast enough and went too low for my 2 channel. I do not like subsonics when I listen to music. I sold 1 of my Stadium III after tring an Aerial SW-12. The SW-12 is much faster. It has an EQ, a left and right balanced input amoung other inputs and adjustments.
I connect the right balanced input from my 2 channel system and turn on the EQ so I can set it up just the way I want it. I want the sub to be there but not over powering. Then when I use it for HT, I turn off the EQ via remote (a macro)so I get full range from my 2 channel input and then a LFE signal from my HT processor to the left balance input for all movie effects. I took a while to get it where I liked it but it was worth it.
This setup has made me so happy I am going to get another SW-12 and have 2 subs in the front. BTW the Rel sub I still have is used in the rear.
For me I feel the faster the better when it comes to a sub for 2 channal, not how low it will go. How low do you really need a sub to go for music, maybe 25 HZ.

Hevac 1 - I'm not challenging your opinion, only curious: Did you use SR REL Spec hi-level cables and good power cords on the Stadium III's? Makes a huge difference.

Agree with Stanwal and Kal on the REL. The REL is one of the only sub systems to use hi-level inputs from your main amp with no crossovers in the signal path of your main speakers.

True but, often, there are good reasons to have such a crossover. Removing the bass signals from small speaker greatly increases its effective power handling.

Agree, but a crossover that would not degrade the sound quality of a top-flight preamp would be VERY expensive and then there is the cost of the additional cabling...

Hsu Research subs are fantastic, affordable, and have great customer service.
