Sorry for the poorly written post, I wasn't in as much of a hurry as it might appear.
To clarify, a single sub will be paired with Focal 807v large bookshelf speakers for stereo listening and also as the .1 for home theater. The Martin Logan Dynamo 700 works amazingly well for home theater hooked up to the .1 input on my system, but the REL T5 seems like it would integrate better using high level connections for stereo listening. From the manual it also appears that the REL will allow the high level and .1 inputs to run at the same time possibly being the best overall unit for my friends needs. High level connections would allow him to use it in direct mode on his Integra 40.2 receiver rather than forcing him to use the stereo mode. I just don't want him to feel like he's missing the punch that my Dynamo 700 has.
