REL G1 Coming for a trial
My local dealer is going to bring over and set-up a REL G1 for me to audition in my 2-channel room. I have owned several subs but have never been happy due to integration issues. If this does't work out I am not sure what my next purchase might be.
Since I am heading out of town again tomorrow, I have scheduled the set-up for August the 8th. Jim |

Have you ever tried any of the other REL subs? I have a pair of Stentor II's and have set up Studio's in the past. The one thing I have always loved about the REL subs I have used in the past is they were easy to dial in where you did not notice them. It might take a bit of fiddling, but they always do the trick. And I have not had such luck with other brands. I have not played with the new series subs from REL so I am curious to read about your results. Very musical subs! Ken

I have tried subs from Definitive Technology, the JL F-112 and Martin Logan Depth i. This will be the first REL sub and the reason I am trying it is that it uses the same hi level signal from your amps as do your speakers, plus it is a great looking sub. I do not have great hopes that it will work but it is worth a try. JIM |

Good luck with the new sub Jim - I hope this one does work out for you and meets your expectations!

Jim,
I heard one at Paragon 2 weeks ago.... I don't think you will like it.....you will love it! It is a very very well defined sub !

Jim.......I have a feeling this time the subwoofer will integrate with your speakers. I credit the room treatment you now have in place that was not there during your last experiences with your other subs. I believe this time the new REL G1 will please you.

One issue I am dealing with is I do not want to clutter up the room and finding room for one G1 might be tricky, so two subs won't happen. I agree with your premise that if you can hear the sub something isn't right. JIm |
