Any thoughts or recommendations regarding the Emotiva SE8 or REL subwoofer?


Thanks for any feedback on the above. I currently have the Maggie LRS which I am most pleased with, and am not overly concerned about  the limited low end response. I am curious, however, about what may be gained by adding a small sub to the system. I am not a bass freak, and would be more concerned about integration and overall balance. Thanks in advance for any comments / recommendations.

A Rel will fill out the soundstage besides giving you lower bass. It’s a very pleasing effect. No experience with the Emotiva.

I have a pair of REL and they are good but I've had difficulty with integration and their customer service is poor.

Customer service poor?..bullsheeet...Rel has the absolute best support of any audio company I and about everyone I know has ever dealt with.Sio let's put that crap to rest my friend.I suggest a stereo pair of say the new TX series.

I love my Red REL T/9i with my LRS in medium/small room...also liked it with the REL T/Zero lll...amp is Odyssey Cyclops Extreme SE...single listening position and single sub. placement and integration were surprisingly easy..

Rel  would be my choice. You might want to check out SVS.Their newer models have DSP included that you can use from a free phone app at your listening seat.
