REL makes great sounding and logically performing subs as does Vandersteen. Unfortunately, the Vandy is quite large and somewhat difficult to set up - but once done, it's done. Lots of RELs because they sell lots of units and, like someone else said, people trade up. I have a Strata III and am considering moving up. I bought it new a year or so ago because I could not find a used one - they sold to quickly to catch.
which woofer do you prefer
I am in the market for a subwoofer (again) and have narrowed my choices down to the "A-list". I have used several subs over the years, some that lived up to their billing and others that fell short and I am alway curious to see what other audiophiles have found to be their woofer of choice. I have noticed recently that REL subwoofers are consistantly coming up in the used market. I was always under the impression that REL is essentially state-of-the-art and found it curious that so many of them are traded second-hand. so what woofers do you like? DIY, REL, Velodyne........I know there is a tremendous amount of smaller companies that make high-quality, high-end woofers and if you won one of those woofers, I would like to hear about it. Thanks
