Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al
Hi Guys Try setting your Rels between the 10/11o clock position and away from the back wall about 3-4 feet.Try two recordings 1-Road To Perdition 2-Predator 2.Hope this help because I am having great results,your volume controls should be very low... 
Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something?
My experience over the many years in this hobby is that spikes works very good on wooden floors.spikes on concrete floor makes the system sounds lean. 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
A pair of Rel S510 
Adding a sub woofer?
Hi I agree with Hshifi, front firing subs are good for listening to music down firing subs are good for home theater .and two is better than one if your room can accommodate two and also cost.i have two Rels S/510Happy listening.Fi.

Ground your system.Have good outletsPlease plug your amp directly into the outlets.Frontend electronics could go into filter devices.Dedicated lines. 
Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok)
I would try the Usher Mini x with the DMD tweeters. 
Good entry level cables
Try entry level Black Cat Cables sounds better than most expensive cables.

Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced
I do have a pair of Rel S510 and other Rels in the past and cannot recall hearing any difference with upgraded power cords.I think it has to with class d amplification. I am currently using Pangea power cordswith my Rels. 
Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best?
I find down firing subs are good for Home Theater and Front firing subs are good for two channel music.
