On Rel subs: Which are most musical?

Pedrillo, I went with the smallest of the Britannia series (B3) and I upgraded the power cord. these subs have alot of options and put out fast tuneful bass. Hope this helps.

Hi furseth2, What power cable are you using on your B3? I have a B3 and I am just curious. Also, do you like the power cord? Thanks!

I've tried and heard in the past most of the rels, stampede, strata 3, 5, quake, qq150e, britannia series & other rel models i cant remember.
Based on what i heard, the Britannia series either the B3 or the B1 are really very good. The B1 esp goes quite deep and fast, not to mention tuneful.
I'm curious how this one would fare with the studio or stadium or stentor since i havent heard these models.
I'm curious what powercords you guys are using with this sub.

I've got a Stadium III, and I must say that after years of Velodyne and Carver subs this thing was a revlation - it is SO tight & fast & musical and integrates so well! My speakers are definitely full-range and I set the Stadiums xover at 30hz, but this adds such a weight & foundation to the music that it is hard to overstate (on jazz and a lot of other stuff).

When it comes to RELs, don't worry about driver size. This model has a 10" driver yet goes lower than 12" or even 15" driver models from other manufacturers. The enclosure, yes, is quite large which is certainly a part of that.

I can't really answer your question re: which REL model, but wanted to let you know that you can get incredible results out of one 10" driver when it comes to REL. My room is very large as well. I suppose that setting the xover as low as I do makes things a bit easier, but then those sub-30 freqs are the ones that take all the muscle anyway.

I have a Stadium II and agree with Paufolbrecht word for word. My main speakers are also full range (almost) and crossing over the Rel really low just fills in that last lower bit... it's subtle but definitely there; but it's the ability to add even more solidity to the images which is their most appreciated virtue IMHO. While I have upgraded its power cord to a moderately priced unit it was not until I upgraded the stock speakon cable (from amp's speaker terminals) with a Signal Cable Company Rel Speakon cable ( a considerably higher gauge and quality over the stock) that I really noticed the pronounced benefit(s) of the Rel. If I had to choose, this would be my first upgrade to the unit. The Stadium II has been with me through M/L Aerius I's, Audio Physic Tempo III's and currently on my Sonata II's... I can't imagine not keeping it with any speaker I can think of in my foreseeable future. It's that good. As far as comparing it to other Rel's, this was the only one I auditioned but it leads me to believe this is at least the right BRAND you should be investigating.. Good luck and happy Lissnin'.
