Single REL T/9x vs S/510 in Small Room

Currently I have a PMC TLE1 sub in the main system. It sounds rather decent when matched to the main speakers. The integration is quite seamless. I’m not sure if a higher grade sub will bring more to the table.

Question. Has anyone experienced a noticeable or staggering difference when swapping different grade of subs in a small room, as in a one to one swap. Not single to dual sub swaps.

The next question. Is there a noticeable difference between the REL T/9X and S/510 when used in a small room of say 10’ x 17’. Or any other sub comparison for that matter.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Qualitatively, my three REL subs have failed after a few years of ownership, so quality is no longer an attribute associated with price. I bought an R then a T and then an S version and they all had failing parts. Quality engineering at REL may not exist in their design or manufacturing.

Just get the T/9x and use the remaining funds for other components or music purchases. No one at my house has noticed a difference between the T, R, or S performance.
