Do you know where your dealer crossed over the G1?

Crossover is set at 29HZ and volume 25 for my smaller room. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Excellent, thanks

Have you owned JL audio subs before, or had the chance to compare them with the G1?

Cheers

Matt; Yes I have two JL F113s in my theater room with B&W 800Ds. I haven't had the G1 long enough to give a good comparison. I like how the REL G1 integrates with the music. You actually connect it to your amps speaker posts. The idea is it takes on the sonic character of your system. At least that's what REL likes to point out. To me it sounds very integrated after my dealer set it up. It doesn't have the room shaking strength of the JL F113s but it does excellent filling-in/smoothing out the bass with 2Ch music.

Hi Chuck

Id say the JL's are stunning with the 800D's

I can't view the images for some reason

Ive managed to find a few pictures online though. That carbon bass driver looks great

Cheers

Interesting. One thing with the G1 is that as it breaks in, you may find you want to drop back on the gain a click or two.

29Hz sounds about right with Sasha in most rooms. The new filter slope/design in the G1 makes for a slightly higher setting than the older designs.

Glad you are enjoying it.

How does a G1 compare to the Stentor 3 ?? I see its cheaper than the Stentor 3 ever was.

I do like the remote control, however the bass quality and ability to inegrate to my Strads are of utmost importance.

I am actually not using my sub as much now, thanks to the help of a generous fellow with a lot of experience in setting up Strads. But, having the ability to switch the sub off and on and change settings from the remote is very appealing.

cheers
