Love your products, great style, amazing sounds, what more can one ask for?

The two s850s work very well with my sonus faber Cremona speakers. I have set the crossover to 40hz, and the s850s deal with low bass. This is very noticeable on MAhler 2, final movement, where there is a low sustained organ pedal with full choir and orchestra above it. The organ is quite distinct and easily handled by the s850s

I began using REL subwoofers a few years back when I purchased a pair of T/9x, in that fancy Italian racing color. They looked gorgeous, almost as nice looking as they sounded. At that time the choice to get the T/9x was at the recommendation from REL after they knew about the room to be used and what accompanying equipment. The REL's sounded great. In time though I realized the room was way too big for the system including the REL's. I replaced the main speakers with a more substantial pair and the sound greatly improved. Seems I hadn't done enough homework and listening as the room still overpowered the system. Not wanting to continue piece meal I opted for floor standing KEF's in the R range and ordered two REL S/812 subwoofers. Wow, the S/812's were amazing, so much so I purchased 4 more to make a line array which is where I am today. REL support assisted in a number of ways getting the line arrays set up and then integrating them with the main speakers. For those thinking about a line array, do it, but realize it isn't set it and forget it. Listening, tweaking, listening, tweaking and with a touch of luck, magic happens. I don't believe a pair of speakers costing twice or more what my speakers and subs cost would come close sound wise to that of a properly set up line array. REL will help you get there.

My red Tx9 is the one piece of audio equipment my wife has begged me to not trade! Sonically it marries well in my smallish difficult room with YG Tors. I have been very impressed by REL's swift and helpful response to setup questions.
