Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I understand that the REL subs come with a speaker level connectors that run from the amp to the sub... which sounds like a bad idea to me...Rel owners...are they banana plugs? Do the affect the sound...of the sub or the task that I am asking the amp to do? What is the best type of connection? By the way, this is what I found on the other subs so far. http://www.ctaz.com/~moonlite/subvmp.html=== http://www.vandersteen.com/pages/2w.html=== I have already looked at much of the www.rel.net===Thanks again for all of your comments.
Natural sound (REL Subwoofers)
I am looking for a natural sounding subwoofer, and I hear that REL makes some of the best in the business. I am interested in the REl Stadium and Stentor. Has anyone had the opportunity to try these subs or make comparisons to similarly high-priced subs? I have heard less expensive subs like Sunfire and Velodyne and they seem too boomy, and therefore not worth the money...I am looking for something that will add ambient "space" to my music. I have heard the Snell 18" subs that go with the reference "A" speakers ...very nice sound but too big. Others that I am considering are Audio Physic, and Talon. Please tell me about your experiences, preferences, and biases. I have an aleph 3, proac 2.5s and plan on running them straight from a resolution audio cd55. Thanks
