Subwoofer for classical music listener

"I have since upgraded to the new No25 model and plan on adding a second one when funds permit.,

quiltzig- If I were so fortunate, I would bow to No25, before a listening session. BRAVO!

I have only seen No 25, haven’t heard a system with. No doubt its a fine sub.

My ancient pair B3’s do the job, but if my system at such a level, I’d have FOUR...2 behind the listening area, equidistant as my own.

About the only thing a i wish REL still did is offer a nice veneer. My subs are cherry with matching Mapleshade 4" slabs/ brass footers.

No 25 would be stunning is a beautiful exotic veneer$$. I would still swap those stock footers though, just my thing.

Wow those REL G2s are beautiful!  A little (a lot) out of my price range.  

I was thinking of painting my REL Q108 (It's currently grey) in Gulf auto racing colors, or maybe covering it with fake fur. Tiny mirrors like a disco ball, or a faux Louis Vuitton finish so it looks like a hat box. 

God bless some of you who described the short-coming of subwoofers perfectly.  

I have my share of struggles with them for years.  My current preference is I would not consider to own a pair of speakers if they need subwoofers.   The cost of getting outstanding subwoofers far exceed the additional money to spend more on getting full-range main speakers.

My "outstanding" subs were bought used but in perfect working order, and both were inexpensive at around 200 bucks each. I built my own Neutrik Speakon festooned cables which were also inexpensive using Canare Star Quad cable. One of the the most significant benefits of a good, adjustable sub is that it frees up main speaker buying choices…a speaker that doesn't require a sub simply has a sub in it…one that can't be moved around to help tune the bass to the room, and one that requires the speaker it's part of to be larger and possibly a lot more expensive. Subs are things that encourage Freedom and the American way (!), although mine were made in England.
