Yeah a "six-pack" array of S510's. That would be sweet indeed.

Thanks Serge... I do love my f113 but I’ve never listened to a Rel or SVS.

Excellent post, Serge (PHC1) - most folks don't think about the wavelength of these low frequency excursions.

I’m telling you, that is the way to go! It’s stunning. The RELs blend in sooo smooth. My gain is set really low. Not overpowering in the least. I just completed my s/812 6-pack. Transformative.

I bet that is "transformative"! That is a lot of "subwooferage" going on in your room.

I've always been impressed with REL over the years. Extremely musical subs.

Great looking set up for sure but you can get the same performance or more from Rythmik in either Gloss White or Gloss Black for around $6000 for a six pack about 40% of the cost. If you are content with the matte finishes even less. In the past I have owned subs from HSU, SVS, ACI, Vandersteen and REL and other than the Vandersteens the Rythmiks are the best I've owned. The Vandersteen's have their connection quirks which is why I moved away from them after many years of combining them with Vandersteen mains. As you are using integrated's not really even an option for you.
