Rel Storm 3 with Thiel CS1.5's ?


Does anyone know if this would be a good mate for music? 16x18'room with cathedral ceilings to 12'? Would this be overkill, am currently amplifying with Bryston B60R integrated. Appreciate any advice.

The REL subs are awesome. I have a Strata III mated to my 1.5s and it's perfect. Didn't take me nearly as long to get it integrated because I followed everyone advice on Audiogon. :-) I think your room would like a Storm better though. You could also try getting the Sound Anchors stands for your Thiels. They really open them up and let the bass out. Then a Strata III will probably be enough. leo.
I'm not sure I like the Golden Flute concept. I wonder what Jim Thiel would say about them. The Strata III integrates seamlessly and provides the .1 channel at the same time. The Sound Anchors increase the size of the soundstage. Granted the two cost me almost $1400 but the results are beyond outstanding. Besides, on 1.5s and at maximum effectiveness the Flutes would only get you down to 32Hz leaving 12Hz or more to go. leo.
