Rel Strata III or Storm III owners...


Is it used for music or movie? what % for each?

What speakers are used with it?

How was the integration for stereo/music?
(I'm hearing subwoofer integration is really really hard, and seldom really works)

Why did you decided to add the sub? instead of getting bigger full range speakers.

How do you like it?

I've mated my Strata IIIs with a set of Vienna Mozart, Waltz and Maestro. The system is dedicated HT so the reason for subs was obvious. The integration seems natural for HT, a little overwhelming for the little music played on the system. I might try one with my stereo set-up.
Gotta tell you that I often think my HT is over-engineered. Could be wrong here but I'm not convinced that critical listening is done during viewing (as compared to 2 channel). I may well have been satisfied with speakers geared to HT - like Def Tech.
I just put the new Velodyne DD-15 in my system. The setup is quite easy and number of presets make it the sub. to beat. AWESOME is all I can say about this baby! .5 % distortion.

Either one is perhaps the easiest SW to blend with speakers for music; I have never tried HT. I listened at length with most of B&W Nautilus line but also Quads ESL-63s, ATC SCM12.
can anybody point me to the thread that contained an exhaustive discussion of the setup for a rel strata iii? Thanks
