- Kevin unboxes the all-new, all-mid-century-modern REL Classic 98 subwoofer.
In keeping with the ever-growing retro-modern or "newstalgia" movement, REL brings back its mid-century subwoofer design but totally reimagined inside, blending the past’s aesthetics with today’s technological prowess and performance.
Classic 98 stands outside of REL's lines, offering a solution for anyone who owns and loves vintage audio gear or its modern equivalents, such as certain models from Klipsch, JBL, KLH, and more. Classic 98 offers a slightly softer touch, delivering a broad carpet of room-filling bass. While it might trade off just a bit of the speed, clarity, and deepest bass that REL's standard models are known for, it compensates with its inviting warmth.

In 1983 I had the ADS Sub Sat 2300 system. The subwoofer was a beautiful piece of furniture with dual 10 inch drivers powered by 2 100 watt amps. The satellites were stand mounted 2 way with 1 inch silk dome tweeters and 7 inch woofers. I am still kicking myself for selling this incredible sounding system.
Uncle Kevin, Bro, you're supposed to open the box upside down then TURN THE BOX OVER and pull it up over the sub. Any word from Miss Kat lately? We sure miss her and her charms.
Now that makes sense 😂
@@whompthatsucker599 I believe he meant open it upside down and flip it, such that the sub comes out standing on it's feet.
I live in Dallas. Have 5 REL subs. And each one I bought from Upscale Audio. Why? Because Kevin and the whole crew are the best at what they do. Thanks Kevin and everyone there.
I also live in Dallas and I do have five REL subwoofers! Twinning!!
Kevin needs to hit the gym. Beautiful looking piece.
Wished I could remember the interview where John at REL said that they were not going to do anymore wooden veneer subs.
Why?
I have vintage receiver pioneer sx1250
Can it connect to tis sub
Does it come with the high level conection or is it a separate purchase?
REL told me I need two of these for my music only system (Klipsch Heresy IVs, McIntosh 262, Rega 6) in a 13X18 room. Is this correct? I am not a bass fiend. Just want to tighten up the sound.
2 is better for music, for movies, i'd do the same two in mono and place the subs in opposite corners. but stereo subs is the way to go for quality sound that has nothing to do with volume. it is sometimes a hard decision to do two if the price is equal to one better sub. then i have a hard time deciding. one sub is better than no sub if you integrate it top-notch. by the way, these classics have a purposely softer more rounded bass i think would go great with your beautiful Klipsch's.
REL is the shit in woofer performance in my book.
Heard a demo at my hifi store and it sounded like crap. Maybe it wasn’t set up right
take it home and try it, never ever trust a store demo.. ever...
Take that wristwatch off right now!😢
