Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
What’s a joke is not respecting an opinion that’s different than yours. It’s a subjective "hobby", we hear differently and have different preferences. So, if I post a lot highlighting how great Personas are that’s great, but post five bad things a... 
JL Audio F112 v2 subwoofer - worth the price?
It comes down to your room, equipment, and preferences. e.g. michaela posted: " I had Rel and Velodyne subs and I think the JL’a just sounded so much better to my ears." I just went from a JL Audio F112 v2 to a REL Carbon Limited. My system sound... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
daveyf,Jeff Rowland and I talked for several minutes about REL, but it isn't my place to post our discussion. I reached out to REL again this morning to make sure I wasn't missing something regarding how the subs were connected. I have no problem ... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
As I mentioned earlier, one REL representative said because the high-level and low-level input uses the same board there's minimal difference in sound quality between the two,  while another REL representative suggested the high-level input was 10... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Yes, my subs are setup for 2-channel on the inside of my speakers. They're in the same place I had my JL Audio F112 v2. My methodology is pretty simple. I played three songs with the high-level connection,  turned my amplifier off and switched to ... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
daveyf,I don't know the answer to your question. I can only tell you what I hear. I'm using Audioquest Boxer subwoofer cables for the low-level connection and the Signal speakon cables for high-level, so both cables are the same quality.Now that I... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
I've gone back and forth between the high-level and low-level inputs. I prefer the low-level input...bass is more dynamic, tight, and articulate; the mids and highs have more detail and just sounds more alive.  
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
I think in theory REL is correct; however listening is the final judgement. If I or anyone else prefers the sound of the low-level input over the high-level, what REL claims is mute. 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
No matter what REL claims I submit that the end user owes it to themselves to try both inputs. All systems are different and you never know what sounds best unless you try both inputs. I still prefer my REL Carbon Limited to the JL Audio F112 v2 f... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
calvinj,I received the upgraded Signal cable for high-level connection yesterday and connected it last night. My initial thoughts are I prefer the sound via the low-level connection. To my ears the bass is more defined and it integrates just as we... 
Chord DAVE, any lesser Chord DAC come close?
Who manufactures this DAC with streamer?  
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
oem-wheels,"I just came across this "post" about how REL subs shouldn't be driven by a true balanced amp like the Rowland.. Not only won't work right but its dangerous." That's true if it isn't connected the correct way. I talked to Jeff Rowland a... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
daveyf,I ordered two 7’ cables with spades from Signal(one per side).  
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
So I decided to start playing around with my subs. REL says the high-level connection is "superior " to the low level connection method. I think all systems are different, so I decided to compare the sound of the high-level connection to the low-l...

That's the beauty of this hobby. There are different flavors for everyone. There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences.
