Help finding a subwoofer

By the way, I would not mind at all having a passive subwoofer with a separate component amlifier. From what I have seen online, I think that 500 box us can buy you a good one with DSP, ……. I am not sure a remote, so if anyone would like to contribute their thought on the idea and specific components and passive subs that would be great.

Thanks ieales for your educating post.

Today I threw out a Storm iii and a Stadium iii. The worse part is that Rel do not share schematics. Although one does not have the mind to do so, one should make sure that the manufacturer does, so that one (subwoofer) has a future. To me, shame on Rel. One GOOD reason to avoid.

Doyle3433 thanks for your comments, is the sealed box sound more detailed than the ported one? I tend to think that a more detailed sound would please me.

i am a diehard rel user... they are wonderful subs

but it is true that older models can have their plate amps fail, and the current ownership of the company (john hunter et al) is happy to strand the owner of the older models when that happens ...

be that as it may, it doesn’t take away from the superb musicality and quality of the subs and how they help systems sound truly wonderful
