Experience with stacked subwoofers?


I have seen a handful of responses to posts mentioning stacked line array subwoofers, like the stackable Rel 510s. Does anyone have a stacked subwoofer array in their system and can speak to their experience?  The marketing hype that Rel puts out about this has me intrigued. Their explanation as to why it’s awesome makes sense, but also I want to go beyond the marketing and hear about real experiences before I drop a bunch of dough on something like that.

Thanks for all these responses. I have two Rel t7s in stereo in my current set up, which were one of the greatest improvements made. In my own personal experience, I have found subwoofer replacement and even toe-in to make a significant impact on the quality of the base that I hear from the listening position. Not just the amount of bass, but the ability to hear distinct differences in the notes from one to the next. Having experienced a dramatic difference with that, I’m imagining that adding a height dimension would also be significant. So I’m intrigued with the idea of stacking three subwoofers, each tuned to accomplish something slightly different.
