To all: once I again, I really appreciate all the input.
@ Rick_N: helpful to know your experience with the SVS SB subs.
@ gkelly & jastralfu - good to know the REL's are easy to set up.
Another question for everyone: on the REL speaker matching page, they are recommending two T/5x's as optimal for my setup. BUT.....their speaker matching page does NOT have the A5's as an option, (I chose the S3's as closest match) and they do not have a choice for audio only. Given that the T/5x's are only rated -6dB at 32 Hz, I wonder if this is enough low end given my speakers and room? On the other hand, I'm a little concerned that a pair of Carbon Specials may be overkill for my situation (and a lot more expensive). Thoughts about this given my room size and need for music only? Is there a REL speaker that you think would be the sweet spot for my room and system?
FWIW, I listen to: acoustic and electric jazz, rock & pop of all eras, and all types of classical music. Oh yeah, occasionally, modern country and bluegrass.
