REL ?s


I’ve had a pair of S/2’s on loan/demo.  Wondering if I’m better spending more for newer or higher models.  If I can get tighter bass, improved soundstage width, space around instruments, etc. I’d go for a higher model.  I’ve searched & read lots on here. If you have experience w s/510, s/550 Carbon specials etc.  please give your .02.  Thanks

 

my setup:

Chapman T-7 speakers

Rogue dragoN

MW LS-100

Denafrips Venus2 DAC

Carbon specials incoming.

i may try connecting just 1 at first-perhaps 6-7’ behind position A

@rkfaberdds 

congrats on the carbon special(s)! We look forward to an update when you have them in place.

Best,

+1 @curiousjim on the wireless for determining subs best placement. I initially put my two carbon specials in the standard beside the speaker position. But my basement suffered from booming corners all over the place and right behind my head as there is a wall behind me.

Switching them to wireless using the REL Wireless system, I was able to move them around until they really did disappear.  Now I have them far off to the side, you don’t even notice their position visually and they disappear sonically.

I also added some round base tube traps in a couple of weird corners, which helped also.

congratulations @rkfaberdds on the new sub(s). Dentist?   I’m an orthodontist in Baltimore.

Yessir, guilty as charged fastfreight.

i should have these hooked up & playing w different positions mid next week..will report back.

 

thanks all!
