Experience with stacked subwoofers?
I have seen a handful of responses to posts mentioning stacked line array subwoofers, like the stackable Rel 510s. Does anyone have a stacked subwoofer array in their system and can speak to their experience? The marketing hype that Rel puts out about this has me intrigued. Their explanation as to why it’s awesome makes sense, but also I want to go beyond the marketing and hear about real experiences before I drop a bunch of dough on something like that.
@guysellingstuff Why not contact REL and ask what they think (I’m guessing no to DIRAC). They have very responsive customer service. But to answer your question, no, something like DIRAC has no place in my two-channel system. I'm not even sure how that could even work for a REL line array. While I do have a digital streaming source, my primary playback source is all analog (turntable with two tonearms). |
Oops. In my comment about the post above by @simonmoon regarding the GR Research/Rythmik Audio OB/Dipole Sub, I neglected to say that AudiogoN member jaytor includes pics of his stacks of the 2-woofer model of the sub in his virtual system. Four 12" servo-feedback ob/dipole woofers per side = awesome!

You sound like you have no practical experience with the use of multiple subs and are merely parroting outdated information. Adding a distributed bass array consisting of four subs (not stacked, but distributed throughout my listening space) to my two channel setup resulted in the single biggest improvement to it's overall sound quality. |
