No idea why people have such a hard time integrating any sub. I have had REL and SVS as well as ML and never had an issue. Takes time and a bit of fidgeting.
Sub Confusion
I've decided to add a REL sub to my in-den 2-channel system. My room is 12'-0 x 15'-6 x 10'-0h with PMC Fact 12 speakers 3'-0 out from the short wall. I have GIF corner base traps (43"h) in the front corners. My integrated is a DarTZeel LHC-208, and my DAC is an Aqua Formula xhd rev 2. When I go to REL's website to match a sub to my speakers, they recommend a 212SX (at $4,999). For my space, these seems to be overkill. Why not a single S510 (at $2,749) or two T7X (at $1,099 each)? Or? My goal is not more base- I'm looking to free my PMCs from having to expend energy to produce sound below 80 Hz and increase depth. Looking for input from our members. Thanks

@ditusa thank you for the link love this type of information. 🧐 |
To be frank, looks are important to me and the REL looks business. The REL made other subs look cheap in comparison although I understand it’s the sound that matters. To me both are equally important, and the REL does not disappoint when it comes to performance. Try not to go below S510 if your speakers are between $5k to $10k. My S510 sits dead centre between the speakers in the middle of the room. |
@ryder what's cost have to do with the performance of a stand mount or a floor standing speaker. I think with question would be the performance of the drivers and their ranges. Not $$$$$$$$$$$$ Also this will be room dependent, size and treatments. Some may find this beneficial . https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/2-channel-subwoofer-integration.33653/ |
