ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection

@oddiofyl and @jastralfu, what crossover level setting would you recommend?

I too, have a single Rel S510, and my speakers are 3-way, floorstanders (PMC Fact 12s). My integrated is darTZeel LHC-208 Mk2. Currently I have the crossover at 40Hz. Would appreciate your inpout.

I attach 2 RELs together with AQ screw-on spades to attach to the amp, currently a Pass XA-25. Low level inputs on the RELs have never interested me as you need long RCAs which are generally a bad idea, and the high level makes more sense.

I'm a learned person and it seems logical to me that low level inputs would be better.

But I've known people with REL subs who claim the high level inputs are better and the sound of their systems confirms it sounds great.  I think the REL is designed to use the high level inputs and that's how I would go if I needed subs.

Not a fan of adding a crossover as I prefer my music minimally processed.

+1 @carlsbad.  I have two REL in each of my two stereo systems, and have tried low level and high level inputs.  The high level (speakon) was the way to go for me, blending better (seamlessly) and improving everything.  I still run my floor standing speakers full range.  And the REL Baseline Blue was the way to go without breaking the bank on sub wires.

For me hi level is best. I’m sure there are advantages for low level with some systems. I have two EVO 400 amps plus 2 REL 212SX. My main speakers are connected to the 4 ohm tap and the RELs to the 8. It is an ideal situation in my opinion. The hi-level adjustments are easy to integrate with the main speakers.
