btw I will most likely buy the t7i but I feel like the two t5i is doing such a good job... decisions decisions...
Go with the 7i’s if you can Jay. I started with a t5i paired with KEF LS50’s and was blown away with how it filled out the high bass and midrange but it was missing a little bit on the lower octaves. Then upgraded to T7i and it gave me that little extra oomph that I was looking for. Later on I tried a T9i and personally didn’t find it to be quite as fast as the t5i or t7i. If you need a little extra encouragement, your buddy Thomas uses two t7i’s😊 thanks for all of the great content!
jay see me comment below about rythmik subs.....I own 2 F15HP rythmik subs and have them paired with klipsch forte II so the subes have to be fast to keep up with horn speakers.
@@CaptainCrunch823 Thanks for the comment. I was deciding if I go with 2 t9i or t7i. I like how you say the 7's are faster. I think 2 t7i will be enough output for a medium size 14x16 room?
Please share your experience when you receive the t7i, especially curious about two times t5i vs one t7i and the potential placement issues between the two. I would guess the t7i is easier to integrate and place than the t5i due to its front woofer vs bottom woofer design.
@@BrianGarside Hey Brian, I think 14x16 sq ft is probably within range of a good fit for dual t7i's especially if you have the flexibility to place them close to corners (REL's recommended approach) but you may also want to check out REL's "subwoofer finder" tool and perhaps even give them a call for some coaching to make sure the T7i's are going to be a good match with your speakers. I would be concerned if your room were any larger. Personally, I think the T7i's are the goldilocks model offering the best compatibility with the largest range of speaker pairings but I'm definitely no expert....just a guy that played around with the t5i's, t7i's and t9i's before landing on the t7i's:) good luck with finding the right fit for you!
This is one of the best explanations I have heard yet regarding the Rel SW's capabilities. Spot on!!!
Personally, I was the type of audiophile who was set AGAINST ever using a SW. That changed when
a rather knowledgeable salesman explained the Rel almost exactly as you have here. He said,
"The Rel is not so much of a SW but more of a base management system". A Rel can be tuned so
that you don't hear the unit (or notice it) so much as you will notice the musical presentation they
enhance is somehow fuller, richer and simply magical. Your Audio RUclips vids are getting better
all of the time ... keep up the good work!!
I use the Rel T5i together with my KEF R300 and the IOTAVX SA3 + PA3 combo and absolutely agree. With the REL you definitely hear "more" in your whole music.
nice. i have a t/5i and a PA3 coming to add to my SA3 Tekton Enzo system. Cant wait to hear the result!
Insightful video with detailed explanation! I own two subs, first one I purchased was a 8" Klipsch down-firing sub that was what I expected.. kind of boomy but ok. I used it for awhile for my 600Ms and ran across the REL brand, read the great reviews.. we've all been through that! So I emailed REL with a few questions and the reply was a well written "lengthly" email from a John Hunter. We go back and forth a few times and not once was there any pressure to purchase. I eventually got the Ti5 and never looked back. Not only did the REL integrate beautifully but the design is a real looker! A few months later, I think it was Steve Guttenburg, did a interview with the Lead Designer and part owner of REL... John Hunter! He is very passionate without the sales pitch and a great ambassador of bass!
I have a pair of T5i RELs they integrate wonderfully well into my system, RELs support is second to none (I know from having used it). They had a wonderful webinar just a day ago to answer questions and bring the community together. Great video Jay.
In all of my years playing around with hi-fi, I never entertained the idea of adding a subwoofer to my system until watching Paul McGowan’s videos in recent years. To cut to the chase, I finally gave in when I bought a pair of Magnepan .7i’s and ordered a pair of REL T/5i’s. Now, I can’t believe what I’ve been missing all these years. Highly recommended!
By the way, while my T/5i’s are perfect for my small space, I’m sure your listening room is WAY bigger than mines. I would definitely go with the T/7i’s or T/9i’s if I was Jay from The Next Best Thing Studio. 😄
@mark wilson What sub company "makes bass not noise" then? I've never heard a single complaint from REL owners. But alternate suggestions are always welcome!
I own the two Rel Ti setup. I bought them to put with a pair of Dynaudio Emit 20 bookshelf speakers. This is a 2 channel only setup.
Sound is incredible!!! The Rel's blend flawlessly. I bought white and also the Rel Arrow wireless system which works very well.
Before I bought them, I considered buying the T7i, but I have a small room and thought that having the smaller 5i would be better. After watching a Rel video about the 5i, I decided to purchase. I have been happy. I listen to ALL genres of music. Jazz bass is incredible. EDM and Hip Hop/Rap thump. But also, music NOT rich in bass take advantage. The two 5i's help make non bass heavy sound more full than with out them. Highly recommended!
Hi, what is the size of your room? Thanks.
@@marcfoss7687 10 1/2 x 11 1/2. It's pretty my a living room/dining room with an archway in between. Essentially an open room.
I can remember a few years back that a friend of mine brought his B&W sub over . I had book shelf speakers and what it did for my system was eye opening for me. It gave that deeper extention but what I remember was the midrange was fuller. It was given new life to the speakers. The idea it improved the sound for the better. Get the foundation right things will be solid.
That was an excellent intro! Very thought-provoking.
I like your reviews because you not only give honest evaluations of products, but also give good info on how a type of product fits into a system and what we should expect of it.
I've learned a lot about music systems from listening to you.
A comparison with Rythmic would be very interesting and illuminating.
You are nailing the presentation and video quality these days. Keep up the great work.
Been saying this for years. I run a pair of B&W M5 S2's, each rolling off to a REL T/5i. The REL's are spliced in to take the same audio feed as the speakers, directly from the amp. Amp is an Emotiva XPA-200. Sonic bliss..... :)
Own this REL too it is in my office system and it is an INTEGRAL part of the setup now for precisely the reasons explicated in this review. Spot on Jaye!
Mind me asking what the sq footage of your office is?
@@backrack01 750 sq feet
@@michaelmityok1001 thank you
My 4th and final subwoofer is a 10" REL.
The Yamaha and Definitive Technology subs I had before were simply different levels of "boomy". Poor definition and a distracting "boom" that covered up the detail of my Magneplaner 1.6's.
When I installed the REL and set the gain and filters, all of the sudden I was hearing much more bass from my Maggies...wonderful, musical detail that was missing with the other subs. The REL was there for the extreme lows and sounded great without covering up the Maggies.
Writing this as I watch your video and finding that we have the same experience... so sorry for sounding like I'm just repeating what you said...it's just my experience too!
Keep up the great work!
Mind sharing which model REL you use with the Maggie’s? One or two?
same here... i got myself a T9i and its only been a week but i cannot get enough of how well the sub integrates with all of my speakers and virtually disappears. I am going through my entire music collection all over again to discover what i was missing in those songs!
@@CaptainCrunch823 I picked up an older model, in storage most of the last decade, on eBay. It's a Q201e. There's one on eBay now. They often end up selling for 350-400 since they are older models. (15 yrs ago they retailed for $1600)
My listening room is smaller, so I'm sticking with a single sub for now.
As everybody else seems to stay the same as a reviewer you are constantly getting better
You did not use your usual intro. I like the new approach because it gets right to the point and is a lot more captivating.
You make a good point, Jay. Some Audiophiles are more concerned about very high frequencies, which most of them can't even hear, but neglect low frequencies.
Question: How about full-range speakers? For example, do you think the Tekton Double Impacts, which are rated down to 20 hz, would benefit from the use of 2 REL subwoofers? Thank you in advance.
ah. I should have mentioned that. Yes, it reinforces it because remember that when a speaker is rated for 20hz, the reality is that roll off starts earlier and not AT 20hz. I think the only exception is gershman speakers...
@@Jayiyagi aha ok, I see. thank you once again.
I don't know why. Ive seen many reviews on this subwoofer. This review is the best one so far. I never knew that it came with a high level cable. With that said. The 8in version just doesn't get low enough or room filling enough for my needs. Even 4 of them wouldn't be enough. It's hard for me to go with anything smaller than a 12in and 300 watt rms minimum. RELs entry level subwoofers seem to be built around music, speed and accuracy. They lack that really low end thump. You have to spend quite a bit more. Before you start to feel it.
@Kris Moodley The T/9i doesn't have low end extension for my taste. A pair wouldn't be enough. I'm a bass head. Pressure, quad, all I want to do is feel the bass Lol It's hard to find powered subwoofers that offers room filling ultra low end frequency response at low volume/power. So I have to choose powered subs with multiple smaller subs or one big sub. I prefer one big subwoofer that doesn't require a ton of power to to hit the ultra low notes that can't be heard. REL powered subwoofers don't get good until the S series. Either the S/510 or S/812. The 212/SX is definitely room filling and insane. The top two tiers are just on a completely different level of their own.
Just buy svs that will give you thumb
With little accuracy. You'll be happy problem solved
@@Skyshakerrrr The problem with SVS is that they are built around home theater and LFE. They lack the 5 way binding post for high level imput. In a hi-fi steteo setup. That input is critical. Getting harder and harder to find on most powered subs these days. I do have SVS entry level sub. Its very sloppy in the ultra low end. Its the ported version. Its a 10in and not very room filling. Claims to be 300watts rms. But its clipped. So more like 150rms. If they made a 12in ported version of their entry level that could go even lower and be a true clean 300 watt rms that would hit the spot.
@@Skyshakerrrr What im seeing is that its impossible to have both true accuracy and ultra low end under 1000usd. So its a tradeoff. REL powered subwoofers are my personal favorite. But to acheive my needs from them. I have to spend several grand.
Yes, everyone should listen to Hifi subwoofer. Bass sound should sings like your high quality headphone does not one note like the bass from night club or car stereo system.
I know its a lot to ask considering it already has a Speakon connector, but having a XLR in and out section would be great because I could use the Subs crossover to clean up my monitors so that they would work better together. I am running a minimalist setup for my mom for mother's day and I am looking for a sub. The monoprice sub is the only one I have found so far with those features.
A pair of t5i’s is definitely my next musical step. Pretty excited about it too!
Nice review. I think it is worth mentioning that the way our musical scales work (non linear) means that there is as much notes below 261hz (middle c on a piano) as above. That said you miss out a lot of musicality by ignoring the base. Key issue is that it is harder to get good flat bas than middle and treble.
Very good note you gave..."try first with and without subwoofer" before deciding for yourself". Had a similar experience..home theatre.. pair.of.bookshelf..then now with sub and it felt more complete.
Also, though i dont have Rel subs, you've intrigued me with the option of usinh the high output connection. Thanks Jay
REL, if you are reading this. Please increase your warranty to 5 years. It would help with the overall value.
Unlike what Jay says "That's an insane amount of confidence", I am looking at other manufacturers that offer 5 years of warranty and doesn't really inspire much confidence.
REL’s are the absolute best subwoofer I have found. What got me looking for subs were owning some Maggie’s. I tried everything out there. It was either to boomy or to slow to keep up with the Maggie’s. Plus I can’t tell you how many hours per sub I put into trying to match subwoofers to Maggie’s. From placement to volume and when/where/crossover point the subwoofer should come in to assist etc. the REL’s were instantly a match just requiring some fine tunning. I haven’t found a faster sub that can keep up with the Maggie’s. REL is not Red Lobster 🦞 lol. If you can afford the s series you will be very satisfied. They also have a reference sub but was out of my price range. I would love to hear a review on the REL reference sub.
Open baffle subs would also do the trick
Rythmik?
Ordered 2 of these, as the last ones available in the UK are down to £400. I was thinking of buying a T9i for £749, but thought to of the smaller ones would be better
How big is your room? What would you recommed for 25-30sqm room, two t5i or t7i?
Good review Jay, I see you finally got that mop cut 😆 I'm currently using two SVS SB3000 subs with my Buchardt SE S400 like you I started with just one. Two are definitely better. I've never had the opportunity to listen to a Rel sub, but have always been interested and maybe in the future I will make the switch. But for the time being the SB3000 is a great bang for the buck and a good match in my current system. Keep up the good work.
I usually don't use subs with 2-channel audio but when I went from floorstanders to some stand mounts I decided to try a REL T5i. I have a small space and want to visually hide the sub as much as possible. I do have a Rythmik LVX12 in my movie room and love it. However I was blown away by the little REL for the same reasons you mention -- speed, detail, texture, tone -- and it integrated so easily. I was so pleased I added a second one. Its a different animal than the LVX12 so no need to compare. I just love these with music. I do have a pair of Cube Nenuphar Mini's coming next week. I'm not sure if I will use them with the Cube's but I will test either way. If not I'll move one to my office and the other to the center channel of my movie rig. Win win. Thanks for the video.
How small is the room that you have the t5i in? I really don't know what is considered small or medium.
@@backrack01 my room is about 11x12 but open on 1 side to a much larger space. This sub would work in most rooms but if you want a lot of sub-30hz performance I would go with a bigger model or get a Rythmik. For music down to about 30hz the REL T5i is great.
Did you consider the REL Tzero's?
You have to take look @ Rythmik subs as they provide very fast response being servo controlled.
I am using GR-Research servo-controlled open-baffle H-frame sub (with 2x12" drivers). Yummy!
@@panoskonstantinidis1950 I really want a pair of those. I'm sure I'd barely warm them up, but it would be gorgeous
Nah kef are the topnotch
Thank you for your full and comprehensive explanation of this subwoofer. I only hope it will fit with my Spendor S-3/5 speakers.
There's a lot that goes into a quality sub/woofer! Home audio in particular tends to have heavier "soft parts" thus having a much lower fs then car audio for example! Underhung motors seem to be much better for the SQ folks in the audio scene. We can get into voice coil design/materials and what type of suspension(spider)the woofer uses. Properly built & designed enclosure are critical in order to optimize any woofer. You did a great job explaining this product brother
Your statement about REL being the only brand that you have heard that integrate well with mains, leads me to a question. Have you ever auditioned a Rythmic Brand servo sub-woofer that has a built in accelerometer which feeds real time information back to the processor and compares the drivers actual position with the signal and adjusts the output amplifier to correctly control the position of the driver? In theory, a servo subwoofer should blend better than a non-servo subwoofer. Thoughts?
You are correct. Any Rythmic subwoofer is much better then REL's overpriced offerings.
@@The0nionKnight They sure ar ugly…and fro what I have read servo subs are slower than the Rels with their short delay filters and stiff light speaker materials.
Texture of bass changes dramatically in the low range.
It is not a coincidence that a Neve console has their low EQ points at 120Hz, 63Hz and 31.5Hz. A 22" kick has a natural resonance at 60Hz. 120Hz sometimes called a false bottom, contains the 'hit' and impact of percussive attack-- snare, toms, bass guitar-- many different instruments.
While there is no 30Hz on an electric guitar, but boost the snot out of 30Hz with a shelf eq and the body of the instrument grows dynamically.
A sub can have the same effect-- notice that a good sub increases the entire body of the speakers.
I just wanted to say, this was a top review and It made me go and buy the t/5i straight away and I'm glade I did
the t/5i is a little beast! I now want to get a second sub, I was just wondering if you new if I can mix sub and get the T/7i its a 8inch as well?
and like you pear them up for stereo set up.
I just got a pair of 12" sealed Rythmiks to replace some SVS sealed I had. Was a great move.
im going to try that with my maggies
@@catmando33 how is it? Did you try? I’m looking to get a T7i with my Maggie LRS
T7i is on sale at Amazon. I was originally going to get the 5i, but the price difference between the two came down and I said screw it, might as well go with the 7i .
When it comes to servo subs, the "best" on the market, seem to be in the DIY space, esp those from GR Research, namely their dual and triple OB towers, which use custom Rythmik 12" paper-cone drivers. (Tho a single sealed 12" option is also available) both OB kits have flat-packs available on the AudioCircle forums so all you'd need is wood glue, some clamps, paint & a little patience. I recently assembled one of GR Research's X-LS Encore bookshelves, & even the base level kit I assembled is worlds better than anything I've owned so far. I'd highly recommend reaching out to Danny Richie to see what he's got!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Yes, the Rel is a very good product, Vandersteen also makes some great subs, 3 x 8” woofers with a high level input which does help with integration and a 11 band analogue EQ from 20 Hz to 120 Hz. These are fast enough to keep up planner speakers.
Very interesting. Your talking points are exactly the same as Zero Fidelity's (OK, with a unique fish restaurant story thrown in). Even down to the "filters add delay" and 8ms thing. But filters shift phase, don't they? Why a delay? It doesn't make sense to me. Unless it's achieved through a DAC/DSP/ADC perhaps? But isn't 8ms very slow for a DSP? It sounds to me like REL gave you the script. I'm a big fan of REL (as probably the oldest subwoofer manufacturer) but I find it surprising that you're bringing identical talking points.
Wonderful excellent review. But how low does it go in real room environment? 40 Hz, 35Hz, 32Hz? I look forward to your thoughtful response. Thank you !
Ordered to mate w/ SCM11. Excellent review.
would love to see you do a review of LRS + REL T5i + Hegel H95
Why Rel when you can Rythmik? Much more integration options and better LF response (seriously who quotes -6dB specifications?)
Very informative. I am in high anticipation of Emerald Physics open baffle 2.8s, which have dual 15" carbon fiber woofers and a 12" concentric polyester tweeter in each speaker. Should be FUN
I was using loud, farting, rumble subwoofers primarily for movies. Then I got into 2 channel audio and Roon. "Uncle Paul (McGowan)" of PS Audio convinced me to give REL a try. Not only do REL subwoofers work with systems that have a DAC and/or preamplifier with no subwoofer input, but they offer a much more refined sound. They work beautifully with two channel music. They turn your front left and right speakers into playing truly full range. I've also been happy with their home theater performance. Getting two REL T7i's was life changing. It balanced and smoothed out the bass. The whole sound of my system was elevated. When correctly set up, you cannot identify where the bass is emanating. Highly recommended.
If I had a dollar for every time the word "REL" appears on one of those, I do believe I would be able to afford one!
this cracked me up as I said the same thing to my friends
@@Jayiyagi They would be so cool looking if they just toned that logo down a bit. Man, it's like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa!
@Kris Moodley I have heard nothing but great things about REL (and NAIM for that matter). In fact, I am in the market for a new amp and NAIM is on my short list. What kind of Naim amp are you running?
"I only care about music above 60hz" said no audiophile ever.
The low level connection use the same filter. As the high level connection. But it's a pad on the high level input before it goes into the filter.
I use chora 826 with 2x rel t5i and is great combo.
I just got the Dynaudio Emit M20 bookshelf speakers the other week, and for my very small room and set up, these speakers just about pressurise my room without a subwoofer, especially when you play music with a lot of bass. In a larger room though that wouldn’t be the case. If I was to add a subwoofer to my system, it would definitely be a REL subwoofer!
I think you will surprise how much better you system can sound with rel subs.
Hi, what size is your room? Thanks.
10x12x9 small
In your opinion should I buy two T5i or one single T9i or T7i
Seemingless might not be the word to throw out regarding the REL T5s
Hi sir Jay. Thanks for the very informative audiophile info. Very great. I would like to ask any recommendation for a not expensive but audiophile quality cd player? Thanks and continue inspiring others
I would add that Rel has separate subwoofers for music and HT systems.
Hi , I see in the back ground, a diffusion panel, where did you purchase it from 😁
You should mention that the $549 retail is UK pounds. North American retail is over $1,000, although I've seen sales on the T5i at $750 Cdn and as low as $625 used on Canuck Audiomart. Keep up the great reviews. 👍
The US price is now $599 on the REL t5i , multiple retailers selling it at this price ( 01/2021).
I'm not certain if you can call these little shoeboxes subwoofers. -6dB at 32 Hz sounds more like a mid-woofer :)
As you review speakers, I would you also review the speakers with the REL. I think that this might a a different perspective
Hello Jay! Another well-detailed presentation from you... kudos! I need your help in making a decision... I am planning to get a pair of Klipsch RP-600M along with the IOTAVX SA3 amp. Would you recommend 2 T/5i sub-woofers or one T/7i? (that's all I can afford as of now!). Thank you in advance!
Im asking myself the same. Thing but I think 2 t5i might be better than 1 t7i
2x T/5i will be better then 1x 7. if you can place them.
don't give a f*** how many times the REL is on the dream machine sub. tbh I may get a REL tattoo on my forehead...just to annoy people. it's an exceptional subwoofer, rapid with no bloatiness.
Yes . Very good point . Why we feel high frequencies tamed down when we add subs into sound ?
Hey Jay, I bought LRS's from the store you work at ( I know it's part time now that you're back at school ) and was wondering whether you have tried the LRS's with the T7i's (one or two of them) ? Did they integrate better with the Magnepans or were the T5i's still your preference ? Looking forward to your answer. Thanks for doing these videos.
Hey Ken. I am not part time. I am fully gone from the store. I prefer the dual subs whether it be t5i or t7i.
@@Jayiyagi Oh, I just watched the video and Adrian was saying (maybe hoping) that you were coming back to work part time. Maybe I should just do it the way you did and get one T5i and add a second later just so I can appreciate the difference. Thanks for the reply Jay. Good luck with all you do.
Jay , do you prefer Rel subs over SVS sub in general and why? specifically, svs sb1000 vs rel t5i? what are your thoughts on this
SVS for HT (depending on type) but REL for music, as you have both high-level and low-level input options.
Where did you get that couch? That's a sick couch
Hi Jay, nice video been looking at rel for a while. What diffuser is that behind you on the wall.
Hi! If the REL's delay is 8ms, and sound travels about 3 meters in 8ms, isn't some of the low frequencys out of phase anyway? Or am I missing something?
That's two different things, isn't it? With the main speakers only, the low frequencies will always be delayed because they move slower in the room, that's the sound as it travels in the room, and it's more natural to us because this is the way sound travels. The out of phase thing with the subs connected to the mains is like having two waves (going to sub and mains) and one laying one on top of the other, and having them match as best we can electronically in time, before it's sent out and the room acoustics affect it. I could be wrong :) It's the electronic phase vs the acoustic wave phase.
Thinking about it, it's more like this: It depends which direction you're coming from. If the electronics are settled where you want them, then you tackle the room acoustics, and if the sound isn't good then the room acoustics need more treatment. If the room acoustics are as good as they can get, then the electronic control is needed, where this sub would shine.
I wonder if that Dirac room correction would be a good complement to this sub. Fix both the room and the source.
Velodyne dd subwoofers are my dream bass monsters.
Your videos are getting better every time. Keep up the amazing work.
How does one do the sub crawl with 2 subs? Is it pretty much, do it with one sub at a time?
After using a sub with a passive radiator for 20 years+ I don't think I could go with a single sub loaded in a basic sealed enclosure and feel satisfied. Maybe I can get 2 of these and that will work for me?
my ATC SCM 7 go down to 70hz. a REL would be a ticket.
In my opinion, having a sub or two subs is like having separates in the Electronics. It is like the sub is the lows and the main speakers are the mids and highs. It improves my system about 75% and is totally worth the already good price of the entry level RELs.
More subs more money for the seller . This is the most obvious benefit . 20 are better than 1.
If You are so sensitive to speed, then Why don't You use the S series that are even faster?
Well I have older ELAC subwoofer with bass reflex. I feel its too slow and boomy. I looked up for svs because of built in dsp(?), my room isnt treated as it should be do i have bass problems. But yeah I want the best and REL sems more affordable.
Jay, you think the speed of an 8in driver matches the LRS better?
Just order this one for my magnepan LRS.
This appears to be a commercial focussing on selling Rall subwoofers
I'm intrigued, especially because I really miss some low frequency when playing hip-hop records with my ProAc Tablette 10's. I just have two fears. 1. I live in an old apartment with hardwood floors. Will my landlord throw me out, and my neighbors/persons living under me, lynch me. 2. Will my SO hate the glossy looks. I kinda do. I really would have wished for another option regarding finish/looks.
Just turn it up when they are not home.
@@Skyshakerrrr Then I would need to know when they are home or not. That seem a little unpractical unfortuanetly.
I'm about to buy the ProAc Tablette Signature 10s for my small room together with a REL Tzero...any views and do you like your Tablettes?
@@marcfoss7687 I abaolutly love my tablettes's, they are by far the best set of speakers I have ever owned. I bet the signature's are a little lacking in the low end as well, so I bet the REL make sure you get the most out the ProAc's. Feel free to write back and let me know!
@@rasmuskokholm7044 Thanks Rasmus...very glad to hear you love your Tablettes! I'm looking forward to get mine. I have a small listening room (11' x 12') so they should fit well. Will also buy a REL subwoofer (or two) for some extra bass but can't decide between the T-zero and the T5i, given that I have a small room?...
Hey next best thing is rel good for movies would u go with a higher series rel like d t7i or t9i
I have the Totem Tribe Towers with a REL ht1003. Would the REL t7i be better?
How do you like the better S/510 SHO over say the T/9i ? Ever try the JL Audio Fathom V2's as well in comparison?
Iv just bought a used storm 5 rel sub its awesome
oh yea the storm was great too
Have you heard Rythmik subs; how does this sub compared to some of the 12 or 15 inch rhythmic subs. obviously 15 can't comparem but 12 inch should be able to
A Rythmic sub is WAAYYYYY better than the overpriced REL. REL has a good marketing team, that's all.

I have a pair of REL G1’s. They are great.
Review the TBI Direct Port Modulation subs; there is no equal.
Hello, Any advice, i can get this REL HT1003 for $1000 AUD or a REL TX5i for $900AUD. I only listen to music. For value for money should i go for the HT1003 ? Being a bigger driver and good reviews for sound? This is for a single sub setup. Thanks
In your listening environment did you have the Rels on 0 phase or 180? Cheers..
Subwoofers can be a real bitch to place and dial in till they're just right. I get it. If you're only going to listen to accoustic jazz recordings and classical plus throw in some 60's and 70's pop, you can get by without one. However if you want to listen to modern jazz, movie scores, and anything 80's on up you are missing out on alot. They're worth the headache.
Was considering this sub(s) to match with my mg12, but concerned it doesn’t go low enough. I’m in a 12x14 foot room so pretty small... thoughts?
Will this mate well with the Impact ( not double impact) ? Please review the Impact, there are no reviews.
Jay, need your recommendations on which rel model that I’d like to try. I have the Magnepan LRS speakers on a SCHIIT VIDAR power amplifier. Leaning towards 5i or 7i. Thanks.
7i if you got a little deeper wallet than me and if it's not straining you
@Eddie Lim how do you like that combo (LRS and Vidar)?
Devin Williams Good combo but I had to use a subwoofer to get the lower frequencies!
@@eddielim6016 Thanks. I expected the lack of low frequency response based on most reviews I've read and seen. The overall sound is more important to me though (detail, transparency, depth of soundstage).
i got rid of these subs to get my infinity which is a way better sub for less money. The 12inch infinity was earth shaking. For theater it is up there with Sun-fire.
I have 2 rel t5i and wilsenton tube R8, what speakers do you think could make good synergy?
Hi jay, I bought recently t5i subwoofer , after one hour listening subwoofer back panel become so heat is it usual or unusual please let me know
the latency is moot... you'd just move it forward or backward if it was a difference between 8 and 100ms.
just get a sub and play it full range. does it sound clear? then it's fast. if it sounds muffled then it's slow. the highest frequency rating is usually telling too. some go up to 250hz some only go up to 120hz
THANKS GREAT REVIEW
Are the feet removable if i want to change them or they are glued?
B&W 606 T2 Speaker Which SUBWOOFER fits into this?
How about the DB series from B&W? Are they good?
