| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I added two REL t9/i subs to my 2-channel. Being somewhat of a dumb 2-channel purist and wanting to keep everything planar I was resistant to add the subs. Ive finally come to accept that I now have separate subs in the room and the sound is fant... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? One more thing- in talking with several so-called experts calling around before buying I was told by all that 10” or smaller is ideal for tight bass that is fast/quick and better suited for musical enjoyment. You want the subs to keep up with you... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? A vote here for two REL T9/i subwoofers. You can get a much better deal. Just ask a local Magnolia/Best Buy rep and they should be able to knock off up to $200 off each sub if you buy a pair. You can also contact Dedicated Audio in Arizona who off... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Hi All, Thanks again for all the advice. I wanted to provide an update- I purchased a couple REL T9/i subwoofers for stereo setup and dialed them in using my ears. The improvement has been just outstanding. I enjoy listening to music again, even r... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room I'm convinced re: the room measurements. I did reach out to a local specialist but their prices seem a bit steep to me at this point. Also, they insist on a solution of cutting off the bass to the Apogees and letting the subs do the work. Norma... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Thanks for the advice Andy! I feel better about the open space than I used to. | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Excellent, thank you. Funny you should mention Acoustic Frontiers. That’s who I reached out to for a quote in order to handle the work of calibrating and positioning my subs and speakers. They are local to me so if the consultation price is rig... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Good to know and I suspect you’re right with regards to finding the correct overlap point in frequencies with the full range speakers. I do have an audiophile friend nearby who can help with this. I also plan to purchase the appropriate measurin... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room This is all extremely invaluable information. Wow this forum is impressive. I'm processing all this info; a lot of what you say makes a lot of sense to me. I think I will have to play with it a bit alternating between high input and low inputs.... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room So just an update I’m contemplating buying one or two REL T9i subwoofers and connecting them using the high input with supplied cable directly from my stereo amplifier. This seems like it would give me the best way to carry the original signal th... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room I have a Krell KRC-HR. I’m pretty sure I read in the manual that it outputs to both balanced and unbalanced simultaneously, so I should be able to do this. Are there any timing issues I need to worry about in this setup? | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Question.. pardon my lack of knowledge here- My setup is currently all XLR (balanced) cables. How do I wire for subs? Do I need separate crossovers or do some of these active subs have built in crossovers. If I were to go that route would the sign... | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Thanks Will. Looks like there’s a consensus here :) | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Awesome, thanks all for enlightening me! | |
| Open Floor Plan Listening Room Understood. If I should go the subwoofer(s) route I assume I’ll have to introduce new crossovers in my system as well? |
