there are so much dubious information hanging around here..."It is in the corner where the most linear bass is acheived when isolated to only the lowest sub-bass (true if you come up higher, it gets nasty). "
got any reference to back this up?
"Rels are reknowned for integrating with main speakers better than anything on the market"
The Rel do not even have a high pass filter..., reknown by whom...
"They are made to acheive different results than other subs, namely lowering the resolution floor in the low bass to levels that allow spatial retrieval that no other subwoofer I have ever heard can resolve, be it DIY, professional, or otherwise. This is partly why they are so expensive"
lower the resolution floor? how does sub-bass device lower the resolution floor, the Rels have no highpass filter, so have to operate where the mains have very little or no output at all to avoid reinforcement, how could it lower the resolution floor in a region where the main speaker has little or no output?
Any person with even a cursory understanding of how subwoofers operate will see this post for what it is, a joke.
