Rel Sub Woofers..Any Experience


Have a set of Martin-Logan SL3's. Researching subwoofers. Interested in the Rels's ie, Storm 3 or Strata 3. Any comments from folks who own SL3's and have these subs in their systems? Don't want to break the bank with higher priced systems over $2000. Thanks, Steve

By the way, talekd to the folks at ML recently. They are close to bringing their own sub to market. They are pointing to the home theatre market (with ML hybrids) so I'm not sure how this will sound in a pure audio environment. Nonetheless, this is being designed around their current speaker line. Supposed to come out early next year as I understand it. You may want to contact them for more info. Really helpful people.
I have CLS's (full range esl's) and listened to the Strata in my system. Really good integration and, surprisingly, improvement in imaging which I did not expect. I'll try the Storm next. IMHO, this is the ONLY sub that can be matched with ML esl's. So far as hybrid speakers like yours, I have no experience. REL is the only way to go with my speakers, though. You might give the Vandersteen a try -- not up to the standards of the REL in my system.
