Which Rel subwoofer

Very happy with the Stadium III and Dynaudio Contour S1.4S. Great extension, improves soundstage, and dissapears.

......I am also looking at the REL's.....R328 to match with my Sonus Faber Cremona M's. I plan on making this purchase after the Holidays. I would like to see what you do and think of the REL's.

Sksos1- we get it you don't like REL's and every thread about them you post the same message. Let it go....please

"All I can say is I've had several RELs and had reliability issues, stay away from REL!"

I've had a REL Q401 for about five years with no reliability problems and have been very happy with it.

The 'Q' series happened when REL was owned by REL. Things have
changed. I considered a REL to match my Abbys but, ultimately chose a
NSM 15EXP sub and am very pleased.

Johnnyb you mean the JL Fathom F110. Yes the JL subs are special I went from the REL Stentors to a JL Fathom F113 and its faster, goes lower and has less distortion than the REL ever had. Plus no issues, the JL has worked flawlessly where I had reliability issues with the RELs.

Yes, I certainly meant JL, not REL. That's what happens when I post something past my bedtime.

Anyway, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would pony up $1800 for a sub that simply adds a steep spike centered at 44 Hz, and leaves it up to the user to move this one-trick pony around the room until you find enough room reinforcement to get the thing to add meaningful bass below 40 Hz.

Again, here's the REL R-328 response curve. Its peak output centers at 44 Hz. The spike is so sharp the response is -10dB at 30Hz and 90Hz. It's -27 dB (functionally MIA) at 20 Hz.

Here's the JL Fathom F110 response curve. It peaks at 40Hz but the curve is much flatter: It's at most -2dB at 30 and 60 Hz, -6 dB at 90 Hz. It's about -12dB at 20 Hz, which with any boundary reinforcement will be usable and audible.
