Vandersteen or REL or.......?????? Think small


Considered oppinion here is that for a music only system that the Vanderteen is good if you can't afford and REL Strata or Storm.Most rasons given is that they have better crossovers and use smaller,faster cones than many others say a Bag End,Velodyne etc.Speed and accurate pitch are important as this would be to give some bottom end ot a pait of Maggie 3.6's.Wondering how the REL 201 stacks up or if anybody can thinkof a compact job that will pull it off in a 15 by 25 ft. room.Not huge not small.Suggestions?

Karls,

Just to clarify, the Q is the music sub. The V2W is designed for HT. It includes a 12" passive radiator for more output.
Maggieowner may be getting REL confused with Vandersteen I think. The Vandersteen 2Wq is an audio sub, but we are talking about the REL Q subs (Q150E, Q200E, Q201E) which are their HT subs. I own both kinds. The REL ST subs are the audiophile subs (ST as in Stratus, Storm, Stadium, Stentor and Studio).
The Rega Vulcan is very small 14" by 14" and was designed for Rega by Rel. It uses a very fast 8" driver. Higky recommended.
The Rega Vulcan is made for Rega by REL. The REL designer claims that it is one of their best efforts yet. It has an 8 inch woofer which is very tight and fast. I had a Paradigm Servo 15 which was slower and lethargic by comparison, this due to the 15" driver. The Vulcan is very detailed and musical. It's the best I've heard yet.
