REL Subs

[Freestone]

G2 is great. Bill is consistent in saying two g2's are much better than one G1.

Incidentally, I have an extra g2 that is only a few months old if someone is around the SF area.

to me it seems to 90hz setting (purple) helps to smooth out nulls at 53hz and 150Hz... appreciate your thoughts!

the suckout around 150 hz is troublesome. I would work to minimize that suckout by moving the speakers or the seating position before I worried about the sub. That suckout is going to make wooden body instruments sound a tad lean. Also the male voice is not going to be right. I had a suckout like that once that was corrected with a Sigtec and it made a world of difference in the sound of acoustic guitars. I no longer have the Sigtec and I have to work with speaker placement to minimize that simular problem. Nice gear! Nice work! Enjoy.

Clever Metaphacts,

I gave Sumiko a hoy the other day to ask you which RELs would work well with Focal 1028Be. Paul was very knowledgeable but I would be very interested in your thoughts, (and others).

I don't know whether this is a primary or secondary consideration. I am considering stereo subs in a room with 3500 cu ft adjoining 2500 cu ft separated by a half wall. Primarily home theatre with some music. Moving towards 2 channel. Not a bassaholic persay but have been told the RELs in particular can help the definition of the main speakers with the high level connection.

Thinking of getting a Pass Labs Int-30A down the track in case that affects your decision matrix.

Thanks
Steve
