Older vs. newer REL subs

Hello,
I would get the matching older sub for right now. Everyone says get two matching subs. If you buy the matching sub to your current sub you will have a pair. This should make them both more valuable. I have a pair of the T9’s. I love them. The i or x models are front firing and the older version like mine are down firing with a passive front woofer. I agree if you are buying new subs get the S series for music. I use a home theater pass through on my system. I like that the Rel subs have Speakon and RCA for music and LFE RCA for the movies all separately adjustable. They go down to 28hz so I might add a KEF KF92 sub just for the theater side to go down to 11hz. We will see. Grab the matching sub to yours for now. Wait for a deal on the new REL stuff. 

A matching pair of the newer version REL T/9X, one per channel, would be plenty with your 2-way/6.5" Salk monitor speakers and 60wpc tube amps. Also prefer the forward firing woofer w/bottom firing passive design of the 9x.

Thanks, all. Lots of possibilities. Gonna sleep on it!

trust folks who care about this subject has seen this ^^^^

of course the answer is predictable, coming from rel marketers :)

grist for the mill, so to speak

i myself cannot be more happy with my two pair of older q150e’s and storm iii’s when needed, to augment proacs quad esl’s spendors

@hilde45 I wasn’t trying to put my spin on the S series and T series uses. When I bought mine from the REL distributor here in Aus, I asked the same question and got the answer I put to you. It would seem that I was misled. So apologies to you, all commentators and to REL.
I still like my S/3s I bought 8 years ago.
