REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
Hi Everyone-Im looking to buy 2 subwoofers for my 2 channel stereo. Ive got the Aurender A30, Mark Levinson N53 amps N526 preamp and the Wilson Benesch Resolution 3Zero Speakers. I have all Clarus cables, power cords and power conditioners. They were all purchased used on Audiogon except for the Clarus. I’ve never had subwoofers in a 2 channel rig before just in my HT. Reading the forums here I have been seeing subwoofers being dicussed a bunch of times and has peeked my interest. My main speakers aren’t giving me enough base so I have decided to purchase either the Rel G1Gibraltar or Rel Carbon Special Subwoofers. I’d like to hear some comments on these two subwoofers or if you have any other subs you think I should be looking at.
Thanks,
David

This is interesting. Your speakers cross to the midrange at 500 Hz. This means your woofers carry a significant amount of midrange. Middle C is 254 Hz. Removing the bass below 100 Hz will definitely lower distortion noticeably in the midrange. My speakers cross over at 270. I can't change that on my speaker (MUCH lower price). Much of the vocal range is under 500 Hz. I did not consider that it would be reproduced with a woofer. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/9781119164746.app2 |
