Many people on this forum speak highly of REL subwoofers and their natural sound. It seems that another strength is that they are very versatile and lend themselves to different hook up schemes.
I believe REL favors the speaker level hook up method over line level for their subs. I think to do this you'd need to have the speaker binding posts on your amp be shared by both your main loudspeakers and your subwoofer cables. I'm not sure if you could use both bananas and spades simultaneously on the same binding posts or if you'd have to use all spades. This could be tough if they're very thick like the T1s Analysis Plus uses.
Another method would be to use an RCA Y-adapter such as the ones Monster sells and split the output from your preamp. However, if you're using balanced connections this may be a problem.
If you go to this link a PDF file will be downloaded which details the hookup for REL Storms and Stratas:

Have a look and see if this is something you want to do. It's not something I've done personally, but I have been considering getting a REL in the future.
Right now I'm using an NHT SW3P subwoofer. It has a separate outboard amp. My mini-monitors are connected to my Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated through the speaker binding posts. The amp for my sub is connected to the pre-out RCAs on my Sim. This may be another way for you to integrate a sub into your system, but I think REL favors the former method.
Good luck and happy hunting!
