Dear @ricred1 " " I don't want to be rude, but I simply own REL subwoofers. I don't work for them, I'm not a REL fanboy(I don't like their subs with a passive radiator), and I don't get into measurements. ""
NO, you are not, you don't have to worry about. This is a dialogue.
" I don't get into measurements. " Well, I posted in this thread that always it's essential that every audiophile you included need to mantain a good equilibrium between our subjectivity and the objectivity ( specs, measurements, technical issues and the like ) and I can see that you have not that kind of equilibrium and go " walking " through 100% subjectivity as: " I like it " or that's the way I like it. Nothing wrong with that becaus that's you and that you use your room/system as HTS too and that's what REL site says and what REL makes always but REL is not truly competitive against say this today Velodyne that by specs and measurements puts on shame any REL subwoofer:
Digital Drive Plus - Velodyne Acoustics
There is no contest down there and only the 60K+ per unit Magico subs are near the Velodyne with a 0.4% THD or the fantastic subwoofer coming by Evolution Acoustics that goes -3db at 7hz-100hz and -6d at 3hz to 100hz.
That Evolution subs unit comes with 4 treated PAPER 15" woofers and each sub weogths around 300kg and very expensive as are the Wilson subwoofers too. ( why treated paper instead other today materials?, please read my next post).
Those are two examples why objectivity is so important even that you don't care about and that is up to you and I respect that.
