Rel Sub Woofers..Any Experience

There is a redundancy of threads regarding REL subs. Try www.rel.net , there is a review available of the REL Strata II written by Robert Harley. Do yourself a favor and read it in its entirety. Everything said in that article is absolutely true and can be applied to all of their subs. I upgraded from my Strata II to III, and could not be happier.

I have a Storm III. All REL subs are amazing.

I have CLS's (full range esl's) and listened to the Strata in my system. Really good integration and, surprisingly, improvement in imaging which I did not expect. I'll try the Storm next. IMHO, this is the ONLY sub that can be matched with ML esl's. So far as hybrid speakers like yours, I have no experience. REL is the only way to go with my speakers, though. You might give the Vandersteen a try -- not up to the standards of the REL in my system.
