Subwoofer for VA Haydn

Niel,

Haven't heard the Paradign subs. so cant't comment on their sound or how they'd fare with the Haydns.

For a nice, quick speaker like the Haydn, I should think that a REL (owned by the same parent corp) would do quite nicely. I've got 3 RELs and 2 Velodynes in various set-ups, and both mate well with a variety of speakers be they single or multi-drivers and high or low sensitivity. My preference would be for the REL, as I believe it is quicker and tighter.

Cheers,
Garry

Rel has been acquired by Sumiko, the North American distributor of Vienna Acoustics. Since then, Rel subs have been particularly well matched/voiced with VA speakers.

I had a REL Stentor and for less than a third the cost an ACI Titan that I have now sounds just as good. Probably not as easy to set up though. Plus Sumiko sucks for customer service.
