Feelings when listening Rel ST Series subwoofers

Hello

I'd like to know your feelings or sensations when listening different models of Rel ST series in stereo (Strata, Storm, Stadium and Stentor). I know the specs: deeper bass and more power with superior models.

But what have you really felt? I use 'feel' since the differences are in the sub-bass frequencies, which are said we can not listen to.

Thank you.

So much depends on the room when experiencing bass. Unless you've had different subwoofers in the same room and setup then it's almost impossible to say for certain what the differences/strengths are for each model.

I have the Strata III and I can say it's wonderful for music, but I doubt that it would be as fine for a home theatre setup. My $100 Parts Express sub does wonderful earth shaking things there, but is sloppy on music.

Enjoy,
Bob

Agreed. My REL Strata II adds a dimension to the music that I would not be without. It integrates with my stereo wonderfully and is fast and detailed. But it does not seem to do the earthquake type bass that a home theatre setup would entail. To be fair though I have NOT tried it with a home theater. It could surprise me.

Ptmconsulting, have you tried what you are saying, or are you suppossing it? I mean, that it's almost impossible to say for certain what the differences/strengths are for each model.

I ask you it because I am sure I will not be able to do that comparison.

Another thing: Do you have any kind of acoustical treatment in your room?

Thanks
