Perfect sub to augment bass on bookshelf speakers!
Great subwoofer from Rel! Bass blends perfectly with my bookshelf speakers. High level input that Rel's have is a must so it gets the same signal as your front speakers. Can use the LFE input at the same time too.Fast shipping in Canada from the seller Ayreborn. Very high quality product and packaging. Detailed instructions that cover everything you need to know. 5 stars

Perfect
No problem with Filtronique the retailer; with a good connection and a low pass tuning it's a perfect integration in my 2 ways system. I waited too long, but now it's for ever

I have been in audio for the better part of 50 years. I now have experienced something I thought I never would. Seemless integration of a sub into my 10x11x8 room with performances heard in the recorded acoustic space vs coming from boxes in a room. The sub choser matched the T/5X to my Focal 906's and room size spot on. Placement turned out to be centerish due to a room mode from either corner as it is sparesly furnished only having a back wall treatment. REL says to start in the corner and go from there. I tried the Tzero MkIII to get a taste of REL but it simply didn't have the output. Return was easy and unquestioned. With the T/5X using high level connection I followed the break-in video and yep, performance improved, volume went up so I turned it down, 15 +/- 3 clicks up on the crossover and the volume, just like their video said most users end up at. It is set on carpet, no isolators, no messing with their calculated clearance and..the floor literaly moves in waves when material calls it out rather than emphasize it to my ears. Sub bass within limits from an 8" properly designed piece. I love that experience. Vintage system is Akai Tape deck, Rega Saturn CD player, Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Preamp, Conrad Johnson Premier 11A with Teflon Caps, Nordost Blue Heaven ribbon interconnects, Cardas Quadlink 5-C into amp to smooth things out a bit, then Nordost Heimdall 2 ribbon cables to bring it to the Focals bolted to the Aria S900 stands. The class AB amp has large heat sinks that never get too hot even after hours, stays warm in idle but always ready to go. I like all the options I have with this sub, Arrow Wireless port, High Level and .1LFE option combined if I move it to the movie system, excellent informational vidoes on their web site. Only thing, has no standby switch and the back light is too bright for me but soothingly colored. Fit and finish are flawless, so a beautful addition as well. I plan to try dual T/5X's in the future as properly balanced bass even to 32 Hz is addicting with reproduction felt below that..though have not measured it. I don't want DSP or other electronic aids in the signal path, neither does REL if it is engineered right from the beginning as they have done with this new product to my ears, in this room.

Nice bottom
This sub doesn’t know it’s small, easily fills our 18x24 living room with clear, clean, crisp bottom register.
