I have two REL S/812s in my system. I like them very much. My one complaint would be the lack of an app or more specifically, a remote control. I find it impossible to tune the subs into the system as one size does NOT fit all. Sure they are fine for the majority of the music I play, but I'm constantly finding way too much bass when a recording has piled it on. A good example is Herbie Hancock's Dis Is Da Drum. The subs would dance across the floor if I didn't jump up and turn them down. Would a remote have been that hard to incorporate, given the price of these units? Cheers.
Which subwoofer should I get?
Hi - I have the following system:
Magico A5 speakers
Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated
Merging Nadac + Player + Power DAC
Purist Audio cabling
I love my system......but I had the opportunity to use an SVS PB-2000 pro (home theater subwoofer) for a few weeks, and it really improved the overall experience.
I have the opportunity to purchase a REL Carbon Special sub (used) or purchase an SVS SB 3000 Pro. I really like the fact that the SVS subs have so many user adjustable features, and can be adjusted on the fly from an app. I've been told over and over that the sonic qualities of the REL far outweigh the advantages of the SVS subs. Would love to hear from you regarding this issue.
So, in brief, should I go for the REL, the SVS, or some other sub (if so, why?)?
Thanks - Matt
