Rel S3 subwoofer connection options?


Hello,

I just bought a very nice, slightly used Rel S3 subwoofer. Unfortuetletly, the seller did not include the Neutrik Speakon cable...As I see it, I have 3 options...track down a standard cable that should have been included...(least expensive option) Second, buy the wireless transmitter box $300) or buy the Rel Baseline Blue cable at $350? Any suggestions?

I 2nd table jockey I use the Signal Cable REL Spkon cable between my McIntosh amp and REL Britiania B2 and its a awesome upgrade over the original THIN OEM cable! Bass improved instantly things got tighter and deeper. Cable is thick and needs a foot to bend so add length accordingly.

There are several aftermarket REL Neutrik cables in the classifieds. I bought the REL Bassline Blue myself. As another poster wrote the Signal cable is a very reasonably priced alternative. Good luck! 
larseand, I have a new Longbow I'm clearing out as I'm no longer carrying REL. I also have a 8 foot high quality cable for REL subs made for us by GutWire that I'm clearing out as well. Both are great options if the GutWire is long enough for you.
I would splurge for the long bow wireless.

Or, you could call some REL dealers to see if they have a factory 10M cable they could part with for a good price.

Here is a reasonably  priced aftermarket:

Getting the "premium" cable is maybe a subjective buy. I remain neutral on the cable argument.
Look in the classifieds. There are speaker mfgs who make them for about $100. The neutrik is best for music.

here's one
