Do you think you need a subwoofer?

Dear Audiofeil: I'm using " dead weigh " ( smaller than the cover ): the ones that use for " muscle growth excersice " ( the right words are not on my vocabulary ).

You can " see it " ( a little ) in the " picture " of my " system ".

This is temporary. I'm looking for a ( same size ) steel plate with a weigh around 45kgs. Stay tunned.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,
I'm assuming you mean "plates" which are round weights that are used in conjunction with barbells for conditioning by body builders and folks into the fitness thing.

Audiofeil: Yes.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear friends: As you know the location for the proper streo integration of the subwoofers is really critical. We have to play around with this subject, many times in incredible " location/way ". Don't be afraid about: try everything till you are satisfied.

My subs are in front of the main speakers and side firing eachother. Till today this is the best " location"way " in my room.

Time consuming but with a big sonic reward. ¡ Try hard on this !.

Dear friends: This is for the people that already have or want to have or likes REL subwoofers.

The REL subwoofers are a very good ones subs, no question about.

As any one can " read " in the REL owner manual, that the REL design is primarily for " bass reinforcement on full range speakers ". That's why the REL people recomended that their subs must be installed near the corners and why the REL subs ( normally ) works summing-up the left/right channels signal for works in mono way for less distortion. Other characteristic is that the REL subs does not have high-pass filters for a true stereo performance.

The bass reinforcement REL design is oriented to the HT application and not for a " true proper stereo integration of subwoofers for a music/accurate sound reproduction at home ".

Of course, if you like, you can use it in your stereo system but is totally inadequate an inaccurate for the MUSIC reproduction. Maybe you could use, in the right way, the REL subs with the help of an external electronic crossover.

Regards and enjoy the music.
