Martin-Logan Descent or Rel Stadium Subwoofer

I have heard great things on both subwoofers. I do have ML SL3's for which the Descent is made for(electrostatic speakers). The Rel's can adjust the mid-high frequencies for a seamless blend and are great on all types of designs so I have heard.. I believe the Descent cannot, only tuning for low frequency. Any opinions out there on these two subs considered for my speakers? The price point is about the same. Retail $3000. Thanks, Steve

Skip the Stratus III. It is a great sub for what it costs, but is a closed box design and does not go nearly as deep as the Storm III or the Stadium III (which is deeper still).

I am not sure what Karls is saying. All REL subs have High-Pass adjustments. Their high-pass side is what makes them great for audiophiles. If he is running off the amp speaker terminals, then he is running high-pass and I assume he adjusted it to blend/integrate it with his system. (Maybe not?)
