The response for REL regarding subwoofers


The response from REL regarding adding a REL Subwoofer for Cornerhorns.

"Unfortunately a speaker with that kind of sensitivity is going to be near impossible for any subwoofer to match with. The 2 volumes will never be able to match well. "

Is that true?  It doesn't sound true to me.  The SPL to power will be steeper than a less efficient speaker but it should jut be a matter of adjusting a powered subs gain curve to match that of the high efficiency speaker output or just using a more sensitive driver in the sub.

To bad I really wanted to buy a REL sub but I guess I'm not understanding how speakers work.

I’m using a GSG Devastator with my Altec A5 setup. It’s a 21” driver in a semi horn style enclosure. It’s powered by a Behringer 3000 dsp amp and I’m actually using the sub amp at about 75% on the gain and 35% on my Preamp volume and they blend well.  It is a huge cabinet though
