New Rel Classic 98 Subwoofer
These were just released earlier this month.
Curious if anyone here has purchased them or maybe plans to?
They have been designed / tuned to be not quite as fast as the current modern Rel’s but apparently still articulate. I’m reading they are intended to be paired with speakers like Harbeth, Dynaudio and even Klipsch.
I’ve been planning to replace my very noisy Omega subs with another pair in the coming months.
Wondering if these could pair nicely with my Fritz Carbon 7’s.
That said it’s kind of weird to think about buying a sub that is intentionally slower.
I can’t tell if this is a great idea …to match the sub with slightly warmer speakers or just a lifestyle gimmick.
They are priced in between Rels’ T7/x and T9/x at $1400 and use a 10” paper driver , bottom firing … with a 300W class D amp.

Thanks for the video link. Interesting that they and you both felt there was a need and market for such a product. I am also a fan of the veneer and it looks like the walnut would match my Fritz speakers perfectly pic here [https://postimg.cc/D86qKGzH] I’m not a deep bass person. The Fritz don’t REALLY need the subs but they do help sometimes with the soundstage. But my little sealed ADS l400’s and sealed Spendors can benefit from having them on.
