I too have been very happy with the Rel B1. It is plenty deep and powerful for HT, but is an excellent complement to my Vienna Acoustic Beethoven mains--filling out the low bass without calling attention to itself. The crosover options allow truly seamless integration and the connection to the stereo amp allows a color match as well. Great musical unit. Also, it is wonderful to be able to drive the sub from both the LFE input for HT and from the Speakon connector for stereo with separate gain controls for each and not to have to fiddle with the sub when going from stereo to HT and vice versa.
On Rel subs: Which are most musical?
It appears that rel makes some of the more musical audiophile quality subwoofers.
My question is which rel model do I go for? I am looking for a sub that isn't too big, is not sloppy but tight, blends in and fills the room with a natural sound that makes it sound as though it's live, in a very articulate realistic sounding system.
For what I am looking for do I look for a big size driver such as 15" or a smaller driver such as a 10" or 8" driver? Does a two driver sub do better than single?
What are the pros and cons between the two?
Does a smaller driver give me tighter bass and a bigger one give me lower and fuller bass?
