I have two REL T/5x subs I just purchased. I also have a small listening space (12x9 or something close to that). They were easy to integrate and they make everything sound so much better. Soundstage, imaging, musicality, all better, not to mention the increased bass response that, I think, is outstanding. They are fast and tight which is the sound I was looking for. Integration is easy even though there is no app to help. They connect at speaker level with Neutrik Speakon connectors which, I think, makes integration easy and matches the input to both speaker and sub. I would highly recommend getting two. I love the RELs but others like the SVS and the KEF. The T/5x doesn’t go as low as the other two but I get very good in room response from them. Two of the RELs are about the price of the KEF as well.
can subwoofers make things worse?
What tiny subwoofer should i mate with my Aerial 5T? I have a small room with very little space to put a subwoofer. I am very happy with my current sound, but I've read that adding the missing bottom end to stand mounts can add enjoyment).
I've been reading about:
1) Kef Kc62 (very expensive)
2) Rel T5X
3) SVS 3000 Micro
4) Do nothing because they aren't good enough and will make things worse.
Anyone own any of these or have an educated opinion?
