Gain level on a REL sub

Hi. I have purchase a REL R 218 sub to compliment my system and as far as sounding musical, I am happy. However, the gain is almost all the way up and I don feel that punch and slam I am looking for. Musically I am impressed with it but I still dont feel that level of impression overall. When I had the HSU STF-2, it was in a different league with in terms of impact and punch but for detail, the REL was better. My question now, Do you think I should try getting a another REL with the same model for a stereo pair or go with a different sub? My room is pretty small but it is treated with acoustic panels.

Please go to their site (REL).
 

Unfortunately their connection recommendations do not work for any and every amplifier. Sometimes the ground need be floated/disconnected. That’s just the facts.

Old thread but he's comparing a sealed sub to his old ported sub with no other change in variable such as placement. All things equal, that likely explains the difference in perspective.
