Compare REL Model Lines

I had an R528, I got it half off from an Audio Dealer who was going out of biz in Seattle. I thought it was going trounce my T2 and it didn't...Ya, it made more noise..it was a good sub dont get me wrong. The T2 was faster and tighter. IMO

Defintiely the Britania series are the ones to own. Plain to look at but gorgous to hear.

To answer your specific question about the REL models you're considering - Yes, the R series subs are a step above the T series subs. They are also very different in that the R series uses Class D amps while the entry level T's use Class A/B.

The R series has been recently replaced by the S series.

Whichever REL you choose, they are great subs and a good choice if music is your first priority. Hope this helps brother.

Is that because they are now made in China?

Second,

the Britainia series is outstanding! I have not auditioned the Storm or Stratta models. Many do not like the newer series sub(s)- I think that they are a bargain at their price-points. Keep me posted & happy listening!

The older Britainia series B1, B2,B3 are the ones to find, the new ones are not built as well. Company has really changed over the last 5 years or so...and not for the better.
