I have recently installed 2 REL T5/X into my system. I have been trying to integrate Mid/Base and Base response with my Wilson Benesch Square 2 Speakers as they are known for a fast base response. I wanted some additional base fill and soundstage improvements provided by a subwoofer. I have tried the SVS SB 12 sub and was not pleased with the results, just wound up with a muddy base response no matter what adjustments I tried using the app. My ear leanings are to higher frequency base so the big sub seem to sacrifice some speed that for more lower frequency. I was quite pleasantly surprised when I installed the 2 REL T5/X subs, first they were easily set up, and after some reading and trial and error on location, dialing in the frequency and volume, they were up and running. I am very pleased with their integration with with the Wilson Benesch Tactic Drivers, and while still fine tuning the subs somewhat I think I have found my solution.
How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD
Looking for some advice as to how to determine how much faster one sub is from another. I’m not sure how to determine this just by reading the specs and could use some help in educating me with this.
Currently I have the SVS and sounds good but feel after all my adjustments and crawls, just can’t get the slap on some of the bass I desire. Everything I’ve seen about the T5X is it’s one of the fastest subs out there and blends well with Maggi’s
Main speakers: Magnepan .7’s
Sub: SB-12NSD
Rogue RP-1 Preamp
Carver Crimson 275 Amp (Yea,I know about the test’s and read all the posts about it, it sounds good, so please don’t hijack this post with comments regarding the amp.)
I’m really tempted to take advantage of the REL Home Trial, but hope I can get some assistance first so can make an educated decision.
Thanks
