Unless you've got a humongous room, those REL 212s already have your room well-pressurized with bass energy; adding more subs would primarily increase ambience, so you don't need to go big to get the job done.

| Service After the Sale Definitely first-world "problems". | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? Hmmm. Maybe because it's a tiny niche market and there's no profit in it? | |
| My history with treble. Hmm. The one thing I don't see mentioned, especially if you are old enough to have been auditioning equipment in the 1970's: when was the last time you had your hearing professionally checked? Obsessing over treble response in equipment doesn't m... | |
