I use 2 RELs bought cheaply from Ebay at different times (200 bucks each..a score!), and they are way more than enough bass for my medium-largish room with Heresy IIIs. Run from the speaker outputs like they should be, using a 12wpc little single ended tube amp...great sounding stuff!
I need a subwoofer/sub-bass opinion from you
Hello All--
I have a large room (well large to me). It's 20' long, 15 wide, and 10' tall. I run either Klipsch Forte IIIs or PSB Imagine T2s through a tube amp. I have plenty of volume with either loudspeaker.
What I want to accomplish is to add sub bass. I did this previously in a smaller room with a Sumiko S5 (I believe it's the same or similar to the REL T5). When I had the Sumiko dialed in, the system congealed into a wonderful sound. There was no noticeably appreciable sound coming from the sub. Instead, it merely filled out the lowest octave and added space, dynamics, and really made the highs seem less harsh.
The Sumiko S5 does help in this setup but it's just not enough to charge the room or at least add enough.
I'm thinking REL. Thoughts?
PS When I ran the Sumiko, it sounded clearly better when I ran it off the amp speaker outs than off my Primaluna's dedicated subwoofer out.
