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 itโ€™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.

greetings & kind regards

may i please inquire do subs present realistic output wrt classical  symphonic music or do they merely pack a pleasurable wallop . according to INTERNET the low frequency output of symphonic instruments do not extend very low . incidentally the dealer who sold me Jadis Orchestra Black recommended a pair of ATOHM RAFALE VR1-X a sub i have seen little mention of .

kind regards

We have stacked pairs running in stereo of REL S812, Carbon Specials, and 212/SX.   In each instance space constraints caused us to stack.   When properly placed and dialed-in, stacked subs are terrific --  albeit I only have stacking experience with REL.   And with REL's direct-to-amp wiring, I won't be using any other manufacturer's subs any time soon.   Had other manufactures subs before REL, but there's no context.  For not huge $$, Carbon Special has to be one of the best sounding subs out there, at any price point.   (Note, I have not heard the Nos. 31 or 32).    

@emergingsoul    Sorry to pile on, but your take on subs is 15 years behind the times.   Speakers in our main system are Tannoy Kingdom Royal, which include a 15-inch sub driver.   Addition of a pair of Carbon Specials brought new dimension to the entire music spectrum.   IMHO, no system, none, is complete without a pair of top quality subs.  It's not just about the bass.  Its about the entire presentation, from top to bottom.
