I have a pair of Rel subs and they sound fantastic. I would recommend that you reach out to Rel customer support and have them walk you through how to connect them to get what you want out of them. I found their customer support folks to be very helpful. Phone: 510-990-6005.
Not in love with my system yet. Help!
I've upgraded my system quite a bit over the last couple of months and I received the components separately due to shipping delays. I got my Parasound Integrated first and all hooked up. It made quite an improvement. I received my B&W 606 S2's a week later. Happy but knew the arrival of the subwoofers I bought would really help make them shine. I received the first of 2 REL t7i subs and hooked it up as directed and the improvement in sound was astounding so I was ecstatic about the thought of getting the second which was a day later. That's where I ran into issues. I have a Denon receiver which handles the HT side of things. My mains are run through the integrated of course and the only source directly connected to the integrated is a Bluesound Node. I have been unable to integrate the subs for music only when I try with both. I can run Audysey and it did an amazing job for my HT but that doesn't do a thing for me as far as stereo. I have bought a UMIK1 and downloaded REW but know they aren't going to give me any way to correct anything. All of my interconnects are unbalanced (RCA) so not sure which unit I should get to help me along. I have looked into miniDSP but think it only has balanced in and outs. I'd like to keep cost as low as possible as wife is on warpath. What unit do I need to get? I get pretty lost in the forums sometimes sorting everything out so forgive me please for asking to shorten my time to get to my goal and going over things that have probably been addressed before. Much thanks!

oldhvymec-we will stop replying to MC’s ridiculous comments when he says something intelligent. With Rel subs, the best way to hook them up is to attach them to your integrated amp speaker posts using the neutrik cable. Both your HT and 2 channel music comes from your integrated. The problem is the best subwoofer configuration for HT is not the best for audio. Rel subs allow you to hook up an lfe connection from your HT receiver, I don’t know how the Rel will sound with both connections running at the same tme |
@oldhvymec I normally like your posts and don't like all the bad-mouthing that goes on here, but...... MC is the worst offender by a mile and brings it on himself. He could easily turn it off and that would be great but.....meanwhile no-one should feel sorry for him. Perhaps you will ask him nicely to try to be nice to people for just one week and see how it goes? Please. |
