Update: Installed custom walnut 3” platforms with spikes beneath my classic REL 99s. The bass response became noticeably tighter and more controlled. Great addition!
REL Classic 99 Sub
I am seeking opinion from those who have stepped up from REL S or T series subs to Classic 99 subwoofer. Did you hear an improvement or was it a step backwards?
I currently own a pair of REL Carbon Limited’s which are rated at 500W. The only negative thing about CL’s is the black piano finish. I do not care for piano black finish. A pair of Classic 99’s in my dedicated acoustically treated room would replace the CL’s. The room dimensions are ~ 15’ D x 30’ W x 8’ H.
There is something about Classic 99 understated vintage vibe. I am naturally drawn to high quality wood finishes. it’s like a fine furniture that is timeless and last you a lifetime …thinking about retirement and end game system.
I am not interested in any other brand recommendations or REL vs other brands including DIY for cheap debates. To my ears, REL’s offers the most accurate bass extension and easy integration with main speakers.
