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.
Older vs. newer REL subs
Looking for any reports about older vs. newer REL subs.
I have a REL 328 (ca. 2013) which I bought used. It's a good sub.

I would like to upgrade to stereo subs and I've found (finally) another REL 328 which would match mine. But, before I drop coin on that, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience comparing their older REL with a newer one. What's changed? What's better, worse, or the same? I'm considering the T7x and T9x lines.
Hoping for apples to apples comparisons, vis a vis driver size, type of sub (e.g. level of product line, sealed vs. ported, music vs. HT etc.) but whatever old vs. newer comparison you have much appreciated.
Thanks.

https://rel.net/blog/2019-10-16/principles-of-sound/old-vs-new/ 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. AG🇦🇺 |
