I have used the REL Stadium II with Linn Kan II's and found the sub kept up nicely with the speakers which are noted for their speed. A gentleman by the name of Jerry Siegel has an audio related website with reviews of both the Stadium II and the Strata II or III, I forget which, and he prefers the Strata. God bless.
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
