Sub Decision


Proly going to add a sub or subs to my system soon. Been in house demoing a REL t7. REL’s site recommends T9 for my Aria 926 and room size, might stretch budget and do that. T9 is max budget (on sale). I am not a real base hound, just want to compliment the system.

 

My only question is would it make sense to use the budget and get 2 t5s or zeros? The 926s have a downward passive radiator so thought maybe I need to step up to front firing but if I do that I can only afford 1 sub. I like the thought of 2 smaller subs sittng beside each speaker. Dealer been nice about letting me demo one sub but dont think they have 2 of the zeros or t5s loners

Really dont have the room config to put it anywhere else.

I do like the sound of the t7 and what it adds.

 

I suppose I could do the T7 then scrape cash and add another down the line but would prefer to do it once and be done and scrape cash for source upgrades.

Tested the T7 then the T9. The T9 is the one. Without turning the unit up very loud at all it energized the room. Maybe try and pick up an additional unit down the line to balance things out.  Really lucky to have a dealer that allows in home demos of various units.  I tested SVS and REL.

Lately, I've been trying to learn the "sound" of different subs.  The Rythmik subs actually stand out here.  I actually think it's because many of the Rythmik subs use a Class AB amplifier, which gives a better more realistic tone.  I have noticed that all the other Class D subwoofer offerings have more of a flat or artificial type of sound and don't have the texture/resonance of tones which the Rythmik have.

Purdy shore the T9 is A/B
