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

It is difficult for me to imagine, you have a 100 thousand dollar speaker and you feel you need more bass...you are making a huge mistake. Your speakers have the best bass I have ever heard.. you want big and fat and flabby,,go for it.

Fat chance you will find a subwoofer that can match the speed of the woofers on your speakers. Two Isobaric woofers. If that means anything to you, I would suggest you purchase one Wilson Beseech Torus. The most advance and fast woofer I have heard. Keep in mind it is clean without the doubling that is usually associated with subs. The walls of you listening room are not going to shake, not without the usually 80 Hz.

Very similar to what happens when you toss a large rock into calm water. The first wave is sent out, and smaller and smaller waves follow. An no, manufactures will not tell you their speakers often double. You might want to do a little research on this.

No manufacture will admit that their sub woofers double....I am retired from business as a small focused dealer. Have nothing to sell. If you want to know what bass should sound like google Wilson Benesch torus...there is so much technology there.
