Thanks to all for the valuable input. When I said I didn't need more bass, I meant what blisshifi said is exactly what I meant- "to clear up the frequency spectrum and deepen the soundstage". However, blisshifi, mentioned that other than the S812, the others don't dig deep enough. I know there's a difference between the S812 and S510; however they are both -6db, with the S812 at 19hz vs the S510 at 20hz. Given that, and based on my room size, wouldn't it be wise to start with a S510 as suggested by Matt M (setting the crossover at 65Hz)?
Sub Confusion
I've decided to add a REL sub to my in-den 2-channel system. My room is 12'-0 x 15'-6 x 10'-0h with PMC Fact 12 speakers 3'-0 out from the short wall. I have GIF corner base traps (43"h) in the front corners. My integrated is a DarTZeel LHC-208, and my DAC is an Aqua Formula xhd rev 2. When I go to REL's website to match a sub to my speakers, they recommend a 212SX (at $4,999). For my space, these seems to be overkill. Why not a single S510 (at $2,749) or two T7X (at $1,099 each)? Or? My goal is not more base- I'm looking to free my PMCs from having to expend energy to produce sound below 80 Hz and increase depth. Looking for input from our members. Thanks

Thanks @blisshifi for that info. And for clarification to others, the DarTZeel integrated does not have a pre out, so sub(s) will be connected to the main amp outputs. Looks like I should start with one S812, and save up over time for a second. |
