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 ...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Who manufactures this DAC with streamer?

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...

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.

calvinj,I've owned dual subs several times and never thought much of it. At one point I had dual JL Audio F110s with the JL Audio CR-1 external crossover and preferred a single JL Audio F112 v2 without the CR-1. I added a second REL last night. Le... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
daveyf,"What made you pick the Carbon Limited?" I was originally looking at a single No. 25 or dual S5s. After a long conversation with the dealer about my main speakers, the fact that I had a single JL Audio F112 v2, and I listened to music the m... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
calvinj,My thoughts comparing the JL Audio F112 v2 to the REL Carbon Limited in my system/room. This has nothing to do with sound, but the JL Audio F112 v2 is built like a tank and is packaged significantly better than the REL.  My initial thought...

jafant,Thanks. I view cables as the icing on the cake. Finding the right cables is a very tedious process. There are just too many cable options and it can be overwhelming.
