| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? True...there are those who are ethically challenged by subs, and I would be also if I spent $6,624.37 on "full range" speakers just to discover somebody gets a similar experience from adding a good sub to a more modest speaker. My groovy sounding ... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? The thing I posted was pasted directly from the REL site, and it seems REL stuff generally does music very well (a friend has a completely different model than I do with the same main speakers and it works fine). Also...every room differs absolute... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Here's the possibly disturbing line from the currrent REL site (the "FAQ'S" section, "6. Which REL sub-bass system is best for me?":"Acoustically, either the 'ST' or the 'Q' range work excellently in either a hi-fi or home cinema system. However, ... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? NO! Say it ain't so! In spite of what "REL" says (what the hell do THEY know anyway?)...mine sounds great for music, which is all I use it for. Now I have to go look that up...damn... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? My REL Q150E is front firing. It sits in a little corner made by a fake fireplace behind the left speaker (firing forward toward the back of the main speaker) and that is EXACTLY where it belongs in my room (I moved it all over the place and point... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? My REL Q150E is side firing. | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? As a former full range speaker user and subwoofer hater (except for pro sound use) I found Elizabeth's comments understandable but less valid than usual when applied to a topic including REL subs..."Rock" music can certainly have a lot of bass (as... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Yeah...this subject seems to engender some weirdly snarky responses to what is a basic reality: Subs make the lower freqencies audible. Is that so wrong? Also there is something to be said for the imaging capabilities of small baffle speakers that... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? "Need"? YES YOU DO! I'm a huge fan of the REL stuff for hifi. A friend turned me on to 'em a year or 2 ago (he has the same main speakers as I do). I bought a clean used one (Q150E) and man...anybody who smugly claims there is "no benefit" from a ... | |
| sub for Studio-20s? There are used RELs out there for a fraction of new ones. I saw one like mine with a cable recently for about $300. | |
| sub for Studio-20s? Note that the REL uses a slightly different technology than most other subs with their recommended "high level" input that takes a very high impedence signal from the speaker lugs of the amp itself (a tiny, irrelevant load is seen by the amp). Thi... | |
| sub for Studio-20s? A used REL. | |
| Do you ever doubt you ears ? I know the sounds in my head are really there...I just do. | |
| can i improve my system with a better cd player? I say FORGET CDs AND vinyl and hire live musicians to come over and play stuff. They're analog (mostly) and sound almost as good as a recording...and cheaper than good cables!...end of discussion. | |
| can i improve my system with a better cd player? I bought a used Dacmagic for around $300 and it improved an older CD changer big time (digital out on the changer). My old but well made Marantz changer has a new lease on life. |
