ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection


Good morning,

I have Rel S510 x2 in my system

Currently using Hi Level connection to my Pass Labs Int-60.

Had a conversation with a learned individual who feels very strongly that I should be using Low Level instead. Just Get the sun out of where the speakers are connected to the Amp

Any thoughts out there?

Thank you

Not a fan of adding a crossover as I prefer my music minimally processed.

+1 @carlsbad.  I have two REL in each of my two stereo systems, and have tried low level and high level inputs.  The high level (speakon) was the way to go for me, blending better (seamlessly) and improving everything.  I still run my floor standing speakers full range.  And the REL Baseline Blue was the way to go without breaking the bank on sub wires.

Hi @veerossi

i found the Baseline Blue cables to be fine for sub high level connections.  I have nice cables everywhere, but do find the sub cables the least impactful.  I certainly looked at other options, but I have one long run of 30’ under the floor and across the room, and never felt the need to upgrade more. I am sure you can make better cables with nice copper wire.  Understand your connections first as you may likely only need two wires vs the three in a REL wire.

Hi again @veerossi.  I would get them again, it makes me feel better!  And due to the long run the larger wire is probably a good idea.  I have some extra ones if you are interested pm me!
