I have two Rel T/7i subs to supplement my Sf Olympica III’s and hear the same benefits as @jastralfu describes, albeit in a slightly larger room (16’w, 22’l, 10’h) -- the soundstage, imaging and presence (the apparent size of each instrument and player) was nicely enhanced and made more musical with the addition of the two Rel’s. The addition of the second Rel definately improved those sonic elements over my previous SLF850 sub (a 10") by itself and combined with the first T/7i. I set the crossovers at about 60db and the volume a little below 3 out of ten or 9 o’clock on a standard dial. This seems to work just fine for me, the subs do not call attention to themselves, the music seems to come from the Sf’s only.
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?
