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.

Just to wrap things up. Settled with a single S510 and this thing blew the PMC sub out of the water. No joke. I did not try other subs but this REL is quality. Recommended.

Thanks for the post. 15 x 19 is quite large. Hence it is not a surprise that 3 subs work better than 1. Yes, the S510 costs considerably more than the T9x. Just unsure if there will be a noticeable difference if doing a one to one swap ie. from the PMC to REL T9x / S510.

Will decide and take the plunge when ready. The system sounds fine as is.

Thanks Arafiq. That’s good to know. It’s a single S510 for me unfortunately since I don’t have the space and funds for a second one. I’m sure 2 will be better but I’m very pleased with the performance of the single REL so far, no complaints
