Gain level on a REL sub


Hi. I have purchase a REL R 218 sub to compliment my system and as far as sounding musical, I am happy. However, the gain is almost all the way up and I don feel that punch and slam I am looking for. Musically I am impressed with it but I still dont feel that level of impression overall. When I had the HSU STF-2, it was in a different league with in terms of impact and punch but for detail, the REL was better. My question now, Do you think I should try getting a another REL with the same model for a stereo pair or go with a different sub? My room is pretty small but it is treated with acoustic panels.

I would have been very interested in trying a Rythmik, but for those who don’t know this, the Rythmiks using the plate amps with high level connections (I think they’re the PEQ3s?) cannot be used on amps that have differential, or floating, outputs. Amps will go boom. In systems like this the Rythmiks must use the line level inputs.
