I auditioned a R328 and liked it so much, I took
it back and ordered a R528. Could have
lived forever with the R328, but I made
the plunge. Should have it Monday
I hope!
That's funny you should say that. I to am thinking the same thing. I can get the R-528 for $400.00 more. The Rel made my system come to life.
I just purchased a new REL R528 to pair with my B&W 805Ds and am very impressed. It really ads a lot to the spaciousness and overall dynamics. Especially on larger scale pieces (of course).

Question for other owners: After the installation of a sub system, did you find it best to reposition your main speakers?
I auditioned the 328 briefly with magnepan 1.7's. I was very, very impressed. Problem is I have balance monoblocks so I really need two. The dealer advised 2 218s would be the way to go for me, but I might just get 2 328's. These things are doing more than just providing very low frequency reinforcement. There is so much air around the instruments. And I thought the timber was better. If you get a 328 set up properly, I can't imagine you would be dissatisfied based on what I heard.
