I have a B3, essentially the sames box, but you have the 12" woofer.
When I see my B3 looking like the woofer is going to jump out of the cabinet, usually means 1-system is cranked and the particular recording is "hot" on the low end, so gain needs to be turned down. I don't keep my sub at one supposedly "perfect" level. While it can be left alone for casual listening and not cranked, ALL recordings are different, so I adjust accordingly. I think REL got it right with the remote for the Gibraltor series.
The second is the actual record.iIf it isn't perfectly flat, when cranked, the movement of the arm over the warp is going thru the cart.
After countless sessions over the years, my REL permanently resides behind the listening position, about equidistant to the floorstnders.
All setups , rooms are different so my experience may not even apply in your setup.
Incidentally, my REL is on Mapleshade brass/slab which I've found not only a nice looking, but sonic tweak. Consider it, if you haven't already.
My floor stander have the same setup.
