ACI Titan II LE vs REL: Opinions

I spent the better part of a year researching subs before I sprung for my Titan II LE. One of the best moves I've ever made. It really does the job. You're right, they are extremely hard to find used. Considering the ACI has been doing a good business for 25 years, it really is amazing how rare used ACI stuff is. I asked about demo facilities last year, they said they didn't have any. That's why I just took the plunge. I fully intended to ship it back if I didn't like it. I even got them to promise to pay all shipping. I know right now they seem to be always 4-6 weeks backordered, you might want to get in line:) You'll love it!

how do you get in touch with ACI. All of the positive posts have gotten my attention

I had an extensive experience in my own listening room with both the Titan II LE and the Rel Storm III and eventually opted for the REL. It did offer a better integration and seemed tighter and faster - definately better for pure music. The Titan, on the other hand, can play a little louder so it would be better for home theater. The integration with the main speakers was not as seamless as with the REL and there was some boominess which I couldn't eliminate with different settings/placement.

Our results were the exact opposite. We took the time to level match etc. I sure can't figure how we could have such different results. Oh well, we both ended up with subs we enjoy! Just curious, what are your main speakers?

I didn't believe all the stuff I heard about the Titan II I say here and around the net. How could this under $1200 sub from a relatively unknown company compete with the big boys? Well after talking to ACI I figured what the heck, so I'm out a couple dollars for shipping if it doesn';t fly.
I got my Titan II LE about a week ago. It definitely needs some running to get going. I'll tell you what, with only about 50 hours it provides better quality bass than I really hoped for. This thing goes real low. Put on your favorite bass test disc and it will rattle stuff all over the place. Better than that, it blends in so well you just don't know it is there! I've heard lots of Velos, Hsus, Rels, Monitor Audios, Vandys, Carvers and such. Most could thump ok, this one sounds like music. They aren't kidding around!
