This replaced the Rega Vulcan I was using.. I can tell you that the REL gives you bass that is completely unrestrained, dynamic, LOWER than you have ever heard before... and it must be used with restraint! I carefully dial it in for each record I play even... the 528 can be very overwhelming (it is NOT boomy, thuddy, muddy or slow!)I'm thinking the R-328 will be a little kinder and gentler?

Bought them both! I am a new to the active sub-base system technology so I won't speak out of turn here. I am comfortable saying that I was impressed with the speed and musical performance. The LFE was not connected and that was not my interest. I was largely focused on Stereo performance and comparison to the 804D. I felt the 805D and the R-328 offered greater performance and versatility than the 804D alone.
