I wish you would have compared it to the Rythmik F18 a bit more, a direct comparison would be awesome.
Looks nicer than the prior model. Needs a magnet attached grill. I liked my former S5 subs. REL makes nice stuff.
Hi Shane, I've had 2 REL Stentors in my Naim Audio stereo setup (PB 4000 SVS for my HT). The single thing that I love about REL is their speed and how well they integrate into a musical system. I've tried the SVS and it's not even close. I think it's horses for courses and have never heard a better sub for a high end audio system. Thanks for what you do. Rob
I love the nuance of your reviews.
REL finishes are the best in the business and relatively affordable for the price, performance and build quality
I just purchased mine yesterday online to replace my SVS PB1000-PRO.
I received it this Saturday!
I'm really looking forward to hearing it with my Focal Kanta 2 HT setup.
I'm sure this will be a huge upgrade from the PB1000-PRO.
I can't wait!
Nice review!
But I still think if you set damping on high, instead of low, the Rythmik F18's will be snappier!
Production quality in your vids is always top notch!
You always have the best b-roll.
Hi Shane! Love your videos. I have seen most of your reviews and they are one of the best. No boring talk just, what is required. I don't understand why people keep talking about their experiences rather than making people hear the stuff. Humbly requesting you to do a review of REL S5/10. I've never seen anyone doing a review on that (not like the reviews you do). Thanks
The 1508 itself is very good. But that glossy plate on top attracts scratches and dust no matter how much care you take. Wished that they would have done without the shiny plate on top but offcourse it boils down to personal tastes and practicality. One good aspect in the 1510 is that the rear portion text is easier to read with the dark blue background on the panel as compared to the 1508. The rounded beveled edges at the sides of the 1510 looks better than the flat edges of the 1508.
They should also have given magnetic front grills for the 1510. When you remove the grill, one of the sprocket gets lodged in the hole on the driver side panel in my case for the 1508 which a magnetic grill would have sorted it.
For people who have the 1508, I don't think it is a massive upgrade. For people buying a new sub, I would say it may be a fantastic one judging by the performance of a 1508. A very good balance for movies and music.
Thanks for the insight, I was curious about the comparison to the old one as well. Looking at getting either this, the Tekton Cinema, or the JLA D110 but haven't fully decided on which one yet.
@@02honeydew If your room is mid to a little larger size then 1508 would more than suffice else go for the 1510.
My room size is 14ft L X 11ft W X 11ft H . There is still a lot more headroom left in the 1508 for that room size.
@@nitinkanchan5294 That's roughly what my room measures at from what I remember. Except my ceiling is slightly lower but close. Thanks for the info, definitely leaning towards REL but we'll see when the time comes.
@@02honeydew you are most welcome 👍
Also if possible pls audition the Arendal too in the same price range.
@@nitinkanchan5294 That was another one I was going to look into along with the KEF KF92 at the high end of the budget.
How does the 1510 compare to the Rythmik F18 of Svs Sb-4000?
Great...So when Rel sends you another one you can do another video..(part two)
Can't wait to see your take on the New epson 4k leaser,,,
REL makes beautiful subs but I really don't like when they put reflective tops on subs, or anu reflective surfaces for that matter. 75% of people can only put subs in the front of the room and 20% have subs in both the front and back of their room. This means 95% will have screen light reflections from these subs (those in a theater setup). I hate being forced to put a piece of black velvet on top of a sub just so it isn't visually distracting. That being said, for many, the performance of this sub makes that less of an issue.
I know what you mean.I have to cover my high gloss gear with matte black cloth on top. Light from my projector bounces off of everything
You can always cover it black blanket not a big deal I do have Rel Predator 1 1508 it's a BEAST!
@@zztop7000 when you invest a lot of money to have a good looking dedicated theater room, having a blanket or piece of velvet sitting on top of your subs doesn't look good. I will always go for performance over aesthetics but there are subs out there that perform as well or better than the REL that you don't need to have an ugly blanket to prevent reflections.
If you use it to watch movies, it shouldn't be annoying while you watch movies
@@shaneducholke364 you don't need a big blanket just a thin layer also I put a Tiki on top of it it looks beautiful 👌
I don't used a thick blanket on it doesn't bother me I'm also using JVC 4K PROJECTOR 570r built for gaming.
I was impressed by brothers t7 love to hear how this sounds in person
Would love to see an SB16 ultra review and how it compares!
Nice frequency response
So, how does this stack up against the SVS PB16 Ultra? Can you do a comparison? Always love watching your vids too mate.
As always, nice review :)
Thanks for the video
Hi. Do you think it’s worth upgrading from a pair of HT 1508. Just worried it might be a subtle improvement.
You'll be fine with the 1508's.
As a dual Predator owner, I'm wondering if the Predator 2's is a good upgrade. 🤔
Same here, was thinking of getting a third 1508 for 3d setup
@@irfn23 probably depends on your budget. Right now you can get the 1508 for $1399 vs $1899 for the new 1510. But maybe using a 1510 as a near field sub would offer a nice boost to your system along with your two 1508’s. Food for thought.
@@jglaserbot Adorama used to have them at q crazy price for 900 each. I grabbed two since my mono blocks require one each. Was thinking one more 1508 for surrounds and a t9x for center
Would you sell or trade in your 1508’s for one or two 1510’s or maybe just add a 1510 to your setup? 🤔
@@irfn23 yeah I wish I’d gotten on that deal but I had to sell off my subs when I moved back to take care of my elderly parents. I miss my bass.
This looks so much better than the 1508, and that's a great looking sub. But with how discounted the 1508 is now with the release of the 1510. What is a guy to do, save some coin and buy the 1508 or is the 1510 that dramatic of an improvement? Mind you my current subs (laugh away) are dual definitive technology supercube 2000s.
These are beefier sounding over the 1508. If that matters to you.
@@therealshanelee like svs more heavy vs traditional rel?
Which one is better SB 4000 or the Rel 1510 P2??
First of all, it is necessary to decide whether it is svs or rel. I have used all models of svs. At the moment, I am using rel 1510. It is very different in the upper frequencies and more cinematic in character. It is very difficult to control pb 16 and it is not like rel in the middle bass.
Thank you for the video, as the cost is the same would you recommend one 1510 or 2 x 1205mk2 subwoofers in a 17’ x 15’ room?
Thank you
Have the same question I don't go real high with the output on the left side of my mlp I have a null at 90hz but won't be a problems as the sub will be crossed lower since it's an 15 inch I don't need much spl but don't know if the two 12s will perform better
Daddy like! Gimme, gimme, gimme! Thanks for the review. But I wish you had at least one shot w/ the grill on.
It blacks out the entire front.
kef kf92 vs rel1510, what would recommend Shane?
Try getting your hands on a Tekton Cinema sub for a review. would love to hear your input.
I just got mine in and have it hooked up. What settings did you find work best on it? It seems quiet for a 15 inch driver
Hey, thought I'd mention that you forgot the "n" in dimensions.
How does this compare to an S510? I mean they have the exact same freq. response? -6dB at 20hz
Hi what have u upgraded from
I’m trying to decide between two ht1205’s or one ht1510… Using them 50/50 for music and movies, but music is more important. Pairing them with Heresy 4’s. What do you guys think I should do?
I was going to order the rel s510 but someone from Rel tech support told me they are a bad pairing with highly sensitive speakers. Said the HT line is built for sensitive speakers.
I have a pair of 1205’s now. I use them with b&w 803d3’s. Don’t use them for music much as I feel the 803’s are better,” full range. However, in HT, depending on room size, mine is 20x15 I’m considering going with one HT1510 instead of the two 1205’s. I know two is better but I think the larger driver and a more powerful amp would make a difference.
Is it the epson LS12000 up top in the HT room ready for a video review @sparechange?
Has me interested was thinking of this or the kef k92 or svs 4000 for a second sub.
All great subs.
Nice
I was wondering who buys these high priced systems !! ? Apparently there is a customer for everything. I would never just my opinion lol
If I use two REL 1510, would you place both next to each other or one in front and the other in rear?
I would do the front and the other in the rear. It'll allow for better equalisation of bass in the room.
Could You ask Arendal to send You 1723 1v. I would like to know how they compare.
Hi Shane
After reviewing this sub the perlisten 212 or 215 and the balance force 212 which sub do you prefer in your home theater?
Can you also briefly explain what you prefer over the other 2? In the market
For one of thesep
Thank you kindly!
None of those stand a chance to the 215s. It's a different beast.
@@therealshanelee thank you Shane
Doing a rel 3D setup for front mains and surrounds
Would you recommend 2 215s in back for lfe or just 1?
Regards
JD
I was hoping you could help. I currently have an RS2 that I am returning to JTR. They've been giving me issues with their warranty policy. So I'm in the market for a new sub. I do not need as much power as this puts out but I still want something competitive. In the 1500 to $2,000 mark. Maybe a little bit more. I saw the rails. I know from your video they're not going to get as good or as low as my JTR. But I was wondering if you had any suggestions to help me. I'm currently looking at power sound, audio and GSG. But their prices are in the 2500 to 3500 price range for one or dual 18s. I am looking for something more vented if possible. The RS2 is a sealed sub and it's great, but I feel that invented would be better for my home theater setup. I currently have JTR 210 HT's for my front sound stage there 8-in in the rears and then for ceiling speakers with a Moran 6012 and a cherry five channel amp. I hope this was not too much but I was hoping you could help because I have no one to ask. I wish there was another way that we could communicate. But any suggestions would be much appreciated. Sorry for the long message

I thought you were running a pair of the 1508 and the 16 ultra in the rear? Need to do a updated home theater tour🤓
Check the video description
Nice review as always, and completely off topic, but if you are talking to brass "sacha" tax, tell him I said hi.
Love your home theater Shane
I’d love a reply Shane! One of these or an ARENDAL 1723 1V. Same money. 💰 please :)
I see at .9.09. you are showing the back of the sub with gain at MAXIMUM..did you use this setting for your review..
Never
Predator 3 dot hunting laser on the speaker! I with you Shane!
😉
Show de bola
I'd be interested in hearing this subwoofer with pipe organ music.
You'll need something better than a $1800 subwoofer for that.
They're so small though, especially the 1508. How many do you need for decent bass in a large room?
I’d always get two no matter what size room.
You forgot to tell us how much amp power
How well do dual REL 1510's stack up to Dual SVS SB 3000s?
They'll play louder.
@@therealshanelee I'm still thinking of those Dual SB3000s! The small size of them. Going into an 11.5 x 23.5 x 8 room. Coming from an old Definitive Technology Pro 200TL 250-watt! lol
@@Professor5180 so what did you end up going with? Did you go with the SB 3000 how did it sound and do?
and now i know what you meant by wait!!!
It's finally official.
@@therealshanelee I saw!!! How long do you have it for do you want the 1508 to do a comparison
What projector do u use now?
List of equipment is in the video description.
Thanks for your reply Shane! Ive seen it, but you haven,t done a review wright? Or did i miss it?
It would be better to do break-in first before review so that you can feel it's real power. When you review Rel Predator HT 1508 you didn't even break-in first very disappointed. I'm perfectly happy with my Predator HT1508.
Funny cause I owned the 1508's for about 6 months before I did a video 🤔
@@therealshanelee I'm sorry thanks for review
Nice review. Not my type of Sub though. I like the ported and the ones that can handle Edge of Tomorrow๑乛◡乛๑
Like...?
Like Arendal 1723 1v/2v or Svs 3000pb +
Now you just need 6 to stack lol
Why not review m and k subs?
They don’t want to send me any.
@@therealshanelee I understand
Get a new camera person the focus is all over the place lol
Be carefull with subs that reach single digit hz frequencies, as they can make you ill or worse. 20 - 18 hz is safe and still musical.
Wow 😮
Can you please elaborate ?
🙏🏾
Gotta die of something.
