I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85F towers. Originally, I was going to buy a pair of REL T9i"s, but went with a pair of REL S3 SHO's. Glad I went with the S3's. No matter what you decide, go with a pair. Much better sound than just one. I would not get anything smaller than the REL t9i's. Right now playing two bookshelf speakers is lacking an enormous amount of bass. You could also purchase towers unless you have a space limitation. If you are limited in space and have to settle for bookshelf's, spring for a pair of the REL S2 SHO's. I can put you in touch with someone who can surprise you with a great price. This was how I could afford the REL S2's.
Subwoofer insight.
This is new territory to me. Current speakers are 2 way with frequency response of 60Hz-20KHz with +/- 2dB. Sensitivity rated as 86dB. Chance to purchase a pair of REL 7 tis. I feel like I am missing something but will have to buy the subs to try out. My basic question is this. Does this purchase sound wise? I know what I am willing to spend but do you think I will notice an appreciable improvement. I know that no one can listen through my ears but this is my first time doing this. Source is 75 watt integrated tube amp, McIntosh MA-2275. Thoughts appreciated. I am leaning towards going forward with the deal but would appreciate some feedback. Room is large and open, 28X38 feet with 9 foot ceilings. Thanks for any feedback.
