Hi Jay, I just purchased the HECO Aurora 700 tower speakers. Looking at adding a REL Subwoofer by next month. Is the T5X or T7X a better fit for a mid-sized space?

[@Unknown-sz8es]

Hey I own this subwoofer and I absolutely love it the best sounding subwoofer I have ever heard in my life I has subwoofers for as much as $4000 but this is my favourite one thing was wondering I noticed the light on the back never turns off which means I think the subwoofer never goes on sleep when it's not in use does it mean I have to turn it on and off every time or can it be left like that please help me with this thank you.

[@deputy3690]

I will always have RELS with my systems. If you can afford two, GET THEM. I wish it didn't take me over 35 years to hear the difference.

[@user-gf7kj5vj3p]

Overpriced, ugly, free bath handles. Lol. Don't go that low

[@ericschmitz357]

If you like music...then REL...if you like boom and don't care that is our of phase, and are unable to hear coherence, then SVS or others will do the trick

[@timkolacny967]

I have a pair of T7i paired with my KEF LS50 Meta and it sounds great. Hearing you say the x line integrates even better is something I'd like to hear for myself.

[@paulbaker4941]

Get better speakers,, you'll hear more difference and it's going to cost less

[@CharlesHoop]

I bet all of Jay’s Patreon members are interested in these. I wonder how they would compare to my pair of B&W ASW610’s? I like my sealed B&W’s but if I went for down firing, I’d be tempted by these. But then I might feel like my speakers needed an upgrade. And the cycle continues…

[@SavageListener]

I just got a REL TX/9i in red and it's incredible. I only use about 20-30% volume on the sub to round out my Wharfedale Lintons on a HiFi Rose RS201E. It feels like I'm tripping through a whole new dimension of audio.

[@guglielmolucabambino9739]

It’s almost my 30th birthday and for my first hifi system I was looking for a pair of ls50 meta. The subwoofer would be a perfect match! Thank you for the review, perfect timing

Wow, nice first choices.

[@technopong]

I have a t7x and am super happy with it. I hope to get another sometime to add even more bass clout to the system. It hits hard and vibrates the room but never gets muddy. One of the best subs I've ever heard on a home system. Would recommend!

I have the tiny little REL T-Zero, and even that is an amazingly musical sub! They are amazing.

[@Gamez4eveR]

you can make any sub sound amazingly musical by simply playing music through it. "musical" subs are a myth pushed by the hifi snake oil infested world

[@Birmingham_racing]

Can't imagine that being good with movies

[@RJ_Chicago]

You don’t appreciate how much your system or current speakers benefit from adding RELs until you do. I suggest you add a pair of RELs. One of the benefits no one talks about is that for music purposes, you can toe in or out your RELs separately from your main speakers so as to optimize your soundstage and sweet spot. So for example you can have your main speakers fire straight ahead. But you can toe in your RELs. As for the T/5x giveaway, I would pair it with a pair of Zu Audio Dirty Weekend speakers with the upgraded tweeters and capacitors. Driving them would be a Naim UnitiStar. Thanks!

[@PCM-mc5xy]

There is only one reason to own a REL, they are the best. If you enjoy music as much as I do, there is no substitute!!! Love to have one to compliment my system.

[@Waderunner626]

I built a pair of the CSS Criton 1TDXs based on your review of the base model Criton. I have a Denafrips Ares 2 connected to a Rogue Sphinx V3. I listen to a lot of fast paced music such as Japanese hardcore and D-Beat. The Critons definately keep up with the speed of the bass. In my room the bass is pretty good but just missing that very bottom end. I need a subwoofer that can keep up the speed and fill out the bottom end. It would be awesome to have a T5 X to compliment the Critons. Tightening my belt and eating ramen saving for one. If I happen to win, my stomach will thank you. Thank you for all the advice on gear over the years. The Ares 2 and CSS Critons have changed my life

[@justinparkman3585]

Iv got a 23 Yr old rel strata 2 it's that good it's bass matches a pair of Atc speakers

[@nomoregot8]

I have never thought about adding a sub to my system until I saw this review. I would love to pair the T5X with my Lowther PM2A drivers.

[@ttownscott]

Thanks Jay! For YEARS I've been happily listening to my Kef Reference 101 speakers with their pretty high cutoff of 90hz. I really need to get around to hooking up a subwoofer, but I want it to be high quality like the REL.

[@stephencrozier396]

I have a pair of REL 528se subs, getting old now but once tuned in properly to your main speakers it makes a huge difference, especially to the midrange! Subs do very little work (55hz to about 20hz in mine) in a music system but I wouldn't be without them!

[@deputy3690]

The bare wire on the cable go directly to the speaker terminals where your main speakers are connected to. Follow the instructions in the manual. Very easy to do.

[@inko123]

I'm looking to pair the T/5X with my KEF LS50M'S.

[@homerjones3291]

I bought a new T7i and got rid of my SVS SB2000 subs because I just couldn’t get them to integrate, and was always fooling with them. I liked the T7i and how easy it was to blend it into my system that I bought another one (used) and that definitely made things better, though one in a fairly smaller room is all you need.

[@SunsetWingman]

I just built a set of Anthology 3 way towers, and a Finalist Center channel. DIY designs by Jim Holtz and Curt Campbell. It's my first real hifi stereo/HT system. I haven't had the funds yet to add a sub so YES! I would love that REL!!!

[@no_bull]

An 18" Professional audio subwoofer can play fast too when compared with a smaller subwoofer such as this REL. Because of the large cone surface area the 18" subwoofer has, it hardly has to move inwards/outwards so there's a great transient response and they can play really low effortlessly. And I can tell you that what a Professional Audio subwoofer does best is to play music. That's what it's made for. Try it and see for yourself.

[@jasoncool3815]

I love my 2 Rel’s, Old school I must say but they are the beautiful Rel Stadium 2 They dig deep n fill the mids nicely and boy you feel them even at low volumes I also love my other old school Rel’s The Q 100 , which are looking ugly but are running fine Beautiful sonic beasts All I can say , get you a pair , you will never ever regret it , bigger the better as totally tuneable to your system

[@Davidcastillo-rw2zi]

I want one petty bad. But they are expensive . And Jay make me want one every time he talks about them.

[@dustin9407]

get rythmik instead

[@The.Spotlight-Kid]

My REL Q400 pees me off enormously. It works superbly well in home cinema LFE mode with it's (phantom centre &) 4 bookshelf speakers mounted high up in L + R corners front & back, tilted down towards listening sofa, no prob, great earth shaking bass & dynamic explosions etc etc. But apart from that (much less used home cinema role) ..trying to get that REL Q400e singing with me on my listening couch with whatever speaker pair i may have in position... (always firing down long length of room thats twice the length of it's 18'ft width) ...i only get the sub's bass improvement when my head is at most, 8'ish inches or better less, from a side walls... (sub sounds deep & superbly integrated when my head is 6'ish" from sidewall above my equipment shelves (set back in 15" deep, 5'ft wide alcove halfway down room's sidewall) ...but soon as i move away to approach the listening sofa 2/3'rds down room's length away from speaker's end, all & any of that bass improvement i heard when adjusting whatever with my forehead nearly touching the sidwall is gone, plus i feel a lessening of the speaker's own deep bass, that's most probably due to some degree of anti-phase bass in the sub/ speaker overlap region. The REL's phase switch is 2-way, i.e. "none or a total max' possible" shift but it's absolutely scientifically credible & possible (is it not?) that in any similar problem such as mine, a particular room's shape might call for a "+90 or a -42''deg" phase shift or whatever degree shift, who knows without the option of contuious "all-phase possible" phase shift adjustment as ive seen a few subwoofers do have, for a good resson, i bet. I'd have the sub in the room's middle for stereo if it helped, but it's f/ward faced 12" driver'd 25 or 30 kg huge black lump that will get objections. I'd sooner have a phase-shift based option. Just a thought.

[@user-dk1bv9ck1p]

Rel are excellent no doubt about it. Regarding the high level connection marketing I think it is due to tgat every amplifier has speakers level output and not all have preout outputs . I think if every amplifier had low level output them REL would have been marketing rhe LOW level connection. All of those connections are good . Low level is jast as good as high level connection if not better in certain cases. I prefer the low level connection if svs. Two preout outputs on your amp and two RCA cables and your done. simple. efficient.

[@Jcan4u]

Jay I think the connections are called XLR they are balanced inputs that carries two positive inputs opposed to one from RCA. Positive is that it cancles out distortion for a cleaner sound. Can can only imagine how beautiful it sounds. Proper Bass extensions raises the quality of your music who says otherwise is missing out on something.

[@79mercedes]

Actually they're not XLR connectors it's a "Speakon" connector - a very different animal.

[@no_bull]

It's a Neutrik SpeakON connector amd it's becoming an industry standard for amplifier and loudspeaker connections for professional audio and by the looks of things for home use too. They're really good 👍

I loved the way you compared and explained the rels performance... not only are you knowledgeable but your delivery is top-notch and yes I would love to pair my stereo rel t5is with a new pair of Quad Z1s or better still the new Z1s with a nice pair of stereo TXs. 😁

[@howardskeivys4184]

Jay, not too long ago, you did a comparison between the Rel T7X and the Kef KC62 and came down firmly in favour of the Kef, describing it as ‘just more musical’! Have you changed your mind now in favour of the Rel? I have Kef floor standers and Rel subs, they make a good combination. I thought the 2 Rel subs gave better bass distribution than the 1 Kef, and for not much more money!

[@poryai1917]

With REL T5X paring with my Triangle Borea BR08 that will take my system to the next level. Thank you for another great review I'm a big fan.

[@Gamez4eveR]

barely have to integrate a sub that's too weak to excite first modes. REL uses bullshit like "in room frequency response" which is literally a meaningless number. REL is 90% marketing, 10% speaker design, and all of it is outdated design.

[@musicalchurch]

I currently have a pair of ELAC Uni-FI UB5's (the original Uni-fi's) and although I think they have decent bass I think adding a sub would give me a fuller and more dynamic sound. I've always heard that REL's are the Creme de La Creme of Sub's and are so musical. Adding a T/5X which I've had my eye on would definitely make my music listening that much more enjoyable.

[@ronturnbull4191]

The REL would really round out my Wharfedale OPUS 1 speakers. They're terrific, but as 3-way floor standers with only one 8 inch woofer, they could use the help from the REL (especially in the 10 X 12 room they're in). Thanks for taking care of your fans!

[@kilgoretrout4461]

I would absolutely love a Rel T5X because I’ve been obsessed with Rel subs for years now, since hearing one at a friends house, but I’ve never been able to afford one. I was saving up for like 14 months before an accident left my mother in law without a car and without the ability to drive to her doctors appointments. So I sacrificed my Rel and put the money towards a vehicle for her. I’d love to win one. Thanks!

[@calvinlim1292]

Hi Jay, i am from Sunny Singapore and started into 2 channel music listening last year. I currently owns a pair of PMC 25.22 book shelf speakers and has been thinking of adding a REL sub to my speakers. After viewing this video, i am even more convinced to get the 5X instead of the 7X. I believe the sub would fit in well with my integrated amp n streamer. Thanks n keep the videos flowing!!

[@harieeshraajthehzphile6505]

I'd love to have these because I fall in love with REL the last couple of months because the feedback and engineering of the subs. Since I'm looking forward to build a HiFi on a tight budget, this piece would be very helpful to have a nicely blended bass in my system...Good Luck Everybody 😀

[@siguz6070]

I've got a pair of Magnepan 1.7i. I really like what they do with bass, as they are fast and extremly detailed. Only issue: they don't go very deep at all. I've tried matching with some cheap Home Theater subs, but the result wasn't great. What I've heared from you and other reviewers suggest, that the REL with the maggies would be a perfect pairing. If I win it, I'll be happy to give all of you feedback :)

[@geneallen9402]

Ok Jay, I’m sold… REL over SF Gravis. I truly wanted a sub (or 2) in my 2-channel listening setup that was created for and dedicated to music vs home theater and as usual, with your knowledgeable, experienced and in-depth reviews, I’ve found what I was looking for. Thanks for this my man!

[@johnsweda2999]

You want to put it out a phase, around 200 Hz it starts to drift go out to phase from your main speakers ideally if you have dual binding posts switch the phase on the main speakers out of phase what will bring it into phase low frequencies and keep the subwoofer in phase. I would get two Wharfedale sw150 $150 down to 35 Hz can get down to 28 Hz in a room

[@jimmypang8111]

Great review. I like the short comments by Tujan on T7x vs T5i, I've never own a REL so it's good to know that a higher model could offer more grunt, yes and Jay mentioned tasteful grant. That adds a lot of context to what a good subwoofer could do than merely 30% increase in price and wonder if I should go for T5i or T5x or T7x...Also I find it useful to know if I'm a home theater guy, why should i pay more for a good music subwoofer. To know the quality of good bass extension that adds more bass details, fuller midrange and smoother high frequencies...and I didn't know the HPF adds delay which REL makes it short enough, compare to competitors, so that it becomes easier to integrate with main speakers. Good to know. I'm proud to be a patreon and to support the on going work to provide more useful information to the audio community and help improve tuning my system. :)

I was planning on trying to find a used one last spring with some money I had saved up but then work got slow and other priorities happened. Hopefully I'll find a way to get one in the future. I will have it paired with a pair of focal 1038 speakers. I borrowed a friend's jbl ht sub and I was amazed at how much more full the bottom end was and also the midrange.

I am planning to add a sub in my system or buy another pair of speakers with deeper punchy bass like Dynaudio. This REL T/5X will certainly blend in with my system.

REL T5 would be the PERFECT addition to my small room system! I happen to be in the market for a small sub. It doesn’t get better than REL. A great match for my Klipsch RP600M. I’m driving them with a variety of amps to keep things interesting 😬. Cheers !

I'm playing some rp600m between Cambridge cxa61 and NAD c316bee . Curious what amps you're using and what the experience has been

@@erics.4113 I started with an older NAD 763 AVR in two channel. Powered them very nicely. Sounded juicy in a pretty good size room. Good clean power makes them sing. Then, a bit overkill but my PS Audio M1200 mono blocks. Ended up landing on. PS Audio Sprout. Great match for the small room where everything lives now (10x10). Just looking for a small sub to extend the bass a bit. The REL would be awesome.

@@TM-fx2pi yah man I'm in a 10x14ish room with them now and with either of my modest amps I'm about a 1/4 turn on the volume and those klipsch get going. I really want a REL as well. I've tried some spl type subs in the past and I'm not impressed with boomy slam like when I was younger. I want something nimble, fast, articulate to reproduce the bass notes not just the sensation of pressure waves for the bottom end and even up into the lower mid bass. I really think the rel would do it and I'm curious about a stereo pair. Again, not to boost gain but to just go that full length into the bottom like the klipsch do to the top. Real excited to try the rel. I've never even heard them though! And the prices. For a stereo pair of t7x I could get a massive HT sub or some serious stand mount speakers.

Really wish REL would add marks for its dials so we couls tell what the dials are set at.

[@abguy4]

I would pair this with my KLIPSCH KLF-20s, and be a happy camper for sure.

[@wildstar41]

Ooh new Rel subs! I would pair with my Zu Dirty Weekends. Though they are called full range and are somewhat large, I think a sub really helps these speakers. I can imagine a Rel would be better than my current sub.

[@alce0300]

With my HD650 of course

[@ibdam1]

I love my REL Subs. I pair with my Klipsch 600M and Heresy 4s.

[@addisonhenikoff6003]

I would pair the T5X with my diy GR-Research XLS-Encores. A very musical sub for a very nice pair of bookshelf speakers :)

[@phillipmorales3053]

Hey Jay, have always enjoyed your reviews. First time I came across one of your videos I thought "this guy to young to know anything about hi fi. This guys high school library card hasn't expired yet, what can he possibly know? " But you proved me and everyone else wrong. Thank you for all the good work that you do. Please consider me for the give away, RELs are just too steep for me. Bring back the silver hair already.

[@gregspanovich2290]

Definitely feel like I’m missing some bottom end in my system. Have been considering adding a sub to get this sound. Would love to hear the change the REL could make. Proud Patreon of Jay’s channel!

[@jimeles992]

I know that you are a fan of the Gershman Grande Avant Garde speakers - would they benefit from the addition of a subwoofer?

[@Novilicious]

Small subs like the t5x pair well with bookshelfs 🔊. I want the t5x so it pairs with my def tech 9s. Plus, they match the looks of my skinny sexy speakers!

[@adrianabegley7956]

A newer audiophile here. I have some Hersey IV's which i absolutely love but are a bit thin down low (especially in my room). Looking for a quality, fast, musical sub and REL has absolutely been on my short list. Would love a T5X for my system!
