    Hi from NZ. I recently replaced an original REL Storm 1 from the mid 1990's with an REL T/7x to supplement my stand-mounted Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers. The improvement from my ancient Storm is night and day. Instrument separation and depth of soundstage is much greater. Bass definition much cleaner. Just wanted to say they are a fantastic subwoofer, and I have absolutely no regrets. I wasn't able to audition beforehand, and briefly considered the Classic 98 but wanted every ounce of definition and speed so went with the T series. Extremely happy!

    I think this is a best seller for hifi systems since it is music oriented plus has the two woofers ( the t5x has only one) .
    I would probably go with that one.

      Thank you for reaching out, and congratulations on your new T/7x! To get the best possible performance from your T/7x we recommend against the use of isolation feet or platforms. Instead, the best performance will be achieved by placing the subwoofer directly on the floor in your room using the original stock feet.

    Great video, I really want a second t7i but they are hard to find now. What are the disadvantages of mismatching a t7i with the t7x instead? How would you reccomend setting the level and crossover to blend with a t7i?

    • @RELAcoustics
      @RELAcoustics  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for reaching out. While a T/7x subwoofer can be used with your T/7i to form a stereo pair, there will be an audible difference in performance which will result in the two not being perfectly matched. Specifically, when compared to the T/7i the T/7x is capable of greater output power, deeper extension, and a faster/more responsive output.
      When tuning the REL, we recommend setting the Crossover and Level controls by-ear to blend with your system's main loudspeakers. For more information, here is a link to our playlist of videos about REL subwoofer tuning: th-cam.com/video/Uz2sXaAB8BA/w-d-xo.html

    Hello from New Zealand. I have Magico A3s. Kinda perfect speakers. Their specified range is well down and can cope with 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' and 'Way Down Deep' by Jennifer Warners. But this is at medium to high volume.
    I often have to play at low volume and so the abovenamed tracks fall well short despite the high end named speakers. My thinking at the moment is that more bass needed at low volumes? (As an aside I accept this is artificial and no one goes to a Strauss Concert for low level hearing.) My question is this: Should I get a sub or an pre-amp with a 'loudness' button?
    Great review/ product announcement. Thank you very much.

    • @Novilicious
      @Novilicious 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You have a sealed speaker my friend, it’s way faster than a bass reflex than most of us do. I’d ask rel but you may have to go - step above and get a s510. Let me know what you find out!

    • @RELAcoustics
      @RELAcoustics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for reaching out. What you are experiencing is common, in that humans can hear more perceived low-frequency output when the sound is played at higher levels, but do hear as much perceived low-frequency content when the sound is played at lower listening levels. This is in-part due to human hearing and equal-loudness contours, but is also due to the nature of main loudspeaker design.
      Adding a subwoofer to your system will help it to produce more low-frequency content, both at regular output levels and also when played at lower output levels, helping the system to sound more full and balanced while also allowing it to produce the true fundamental bass frequencies found in the recordings which you mentioned. It will also help to maintain the natural sound of your system, whereas a 'loudness' button will inherently alter the frequency response of the signal being fed through your system which some listeners find to be undesirable.
      If you would like assistance with determining the best subwoofer match for pairing with your Magico A3s, then feel free to write in to contactus@rel.net and we will be happy to assist.

    just a question new comer, so you use RCA output from preamp to subwoofer? L or R output doesn't matter?

    • @RELAcoustics
      @RELAcoustics  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for reaching out. The T/7x can be connected using it's Low Level input, which will connect to the line level outputs in your preamp or integrated amplifier, though in order to get the best possible performance from the subwoofer we recommend connecting it to your system's amplifier output terminals using the High Level input.
      When using the Low Level input on the T/7x, you can either use an RCA y-cable so that both the left and right channel pre-outs can connect to the subwoofer's mono Low Level input jack, or you can use a standard RCA cable and connect the subwoofer to one of either the right channel or left channel pre-out.

    • @RELAcoustics
      @RELAcoustics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      When setting up stereo pairs of subwoofers, it is always best to have both units be the same matching model. In your case, this means using a second T/7i to pair with your current one. This helps to ensure that the sub-bass output of your system is balanced and even from left to right.

    Does this kind of downfiring passive radiator sub benefit from an isolation platform?

    • @RELAcoustics
      @RELAcoustics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The legs/feet on our subwoofers are designed to place the down-firing passive radiator at a specific distance from the floor in order to achieve the most optimal pressurization. This means that placing the subwoofer on any sort of shelf or platform will have a detrimental impact on the performance of the subwoofer, primarily by limiting it's output power and low-frequency extension potential.

      T/5x is the most musical of all from my experience. It just doesn't hit as low or go as deep as its bigger brothers but it blends in easier and really feels like a natural extension of your speaker. Take it from me, I used two T/5i with my B&W 804 D2 towers. I use the T/7x now but those are harder to integrate initially, the T/5i integrated with the least amount of effort.

    You guys say you are a high end brand? I purchased 2 of this subs less than a month ago and I have been getting hum out of both of them when I connect them via the speakon cable. I have tried all the different ways recommended in the manual and your other TH-cam videos to connect them and still have the same problem. I have contacted your customer service Twice, the first time I actually got a reply asking for my gear information and how I was connecting the subs. I took 15 to 20 mins to reply to that email and I never heard back. After 2 weeks, I decided to call and no answer, I left a voice mail and still no answer. Do you guys actually have a customer service department? I previously owned SVS subs and their customer service actually helps the client.

    What's the standby power consumption looking like? Do I need to unplug it when not in use or manually switch off?

    • @RELAcoustics
      @RELAcoustics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When set to standby mode, all of our subwoofers consume only 1/2 of a watt. When idle, or fully powered on but not producing any signal, the T/7x is designed to draw 7.2 watts.
      In order to get the best possible performance from the subwoofer, we recommend leaving it fully powered on at all times. This will help to ensure that it's internal circuitry maintains a stable operating temperature, and also places less stress on the subwoofer's electrical components due to less power cycling.
