Glad things are turning out well. I am considering a Rel 212sx or maybe (2) S812's. So, are you using both subs now? the Carbon and the 212sx? Have you tried the 212sx by itself ? I was hoping a singular 212sx would do the trick?
thanks

@mikepaul I returned the Carbon Special. I found that I could not "set it and forget it". I was constantly up to adjust it for certain tracks. It would draw attention to itself. I'm sure it's my room and the need for more than one sub. For this reason I tried the 212, because it is claimed to provide 80%(?) of what an array can provide. I was able to set and forget the 212 within five minutes after connection and I haven't touched it since. The difference is night and day. I tell everyone that this was my best purchase to date. My other observation is that the Carbon Special was working really hard, even at low volumes. I had to be really careful with it. The 212 in contrast hasn't broken a sweat. It is effortless, musical and so darn fast. Again, my best purchase to date. What do I mean by this? I've learned what most here have learned, which is we may like or love our amps, speakers, etc, but 95%(?) of the time we know in the back of our head that we are not completely happy a given piece. We buy, we sell. The wheel turns. There is a zero percent chance I'm ever parting with the 212. |
izjjzi Love the look of your setup and system components. I think you solidified my reasoning to get the Rel 212sx. I think it would do well in my room. Best of luck in your journey!
