Adding a sub woofer?
I have 2 REL S5 SHO's on Pass Mono Amps. I am using the REL LongBow wireless system. It allows me to only worry about providing power to the subs not running wires across the room. I have one near a far corner from the speakers and one behind me near another corner. The Longbow connects to the Pass via the speaker outputs via an Analysis Plus cable made for the REL's. It gives extremely fast and articulate bass not boomy. The advantage of using the amp output is the subs see the same signal as your speakers. Using a good digital power cord improves the imaging. I replaced the smps with iFi power supplies. Adding a PS Audio Noise Harvester to the outlets also makes for better imaging. |
By what metric do you ascribe orientation preference? IMO in the last 20 years, REL has degenerated into BuzzWord Bingo marketing hype preying on the uniformed: " PerfectFilter performs two seemingly disparate qualities; extending the strong, even response of the extreme low end of bass frequencies while simultaneously opening up air and delicacy in the middle and high frequencies of one’s system. Additionally, we applied customized PureTheatre™ filters to allow S/510 to keep up with modern theatre effects without breaking a sweat." Anything that changes the mid and upper frequencies is a TONE CONTROL! 30Hz is 30Hz REGARDLESS of whether it’s generated by Godzilla stomping or a JAV Recording https://pipe-organ-recordings.com/ Additionally, the S/510 is missing the controls necessary for seamless integration. Pass. |
