REL Acoustics No.32 Overview

This is John Hunter with REL. I have the distinct pleasure of introducing our No.32, just so that people understand our numerology, the 32 was conceived in the 32nd year from REL’s birth. The 32 has really big shoes to fill. Everything we've done in the seven years since we launched the No. 25 has informed all of our lesser products, so much so that we realized that there were a number of lessons that we'd learned in those, the development of all the antecedents to make this product that much better. This is the best we know how to make. There are models that we make that play just as loud, but when you get up into reference grade, what you're looking for is speed, purity, texture, delicacy, ability to die into the equivalent of black level shadows and video, right? The subtlety of the ability to, to do all the harmonic shadings, and it shows up in theater and film as well, by the way. So, the 15 inch driver for the Europeans out there, that's a 380 millimeter driver.
This has been rebalanced and extended from the 25. So, these are not duplicative drivers. This driver handles about 40% more maximum power, even though the wattage rating on the amplifier has not gone up. We have yet to find a big amp that is this supple, this fast, that handles that kind of super-fast, almost square wave like transients. Most big amps blur things a little bit, and it's really important to us that we not lose it in the electronics. The driver is quicker, it's a little bit more sensitive, although we're not claiming anything more. It's like a DB more sensitive and it has a richer, fuller, exceptionally deep base to it. So, where you'll hear the difference comparing this, for example, with our previous No. 25 is it is a bigger, richer, fuller voicing. It simply hangs on to the lows further down where the other one can start to fall. We're talking trace amounts below 23-24 hertz. This one is really steady. So, all of our References use pure carbon fibre for the driver materials, and we use them a little bit differently than most people do. It's really common to see carbon fibre. It looks beautiful when you do it, but doesn't sound great to use just a pure hemispherical mold. It’s one continuous weave of it. What we find more useful is to do two pieces. They are all in that hemispherical mold, but we have a large, very stiff center cap that's made of actually slightly thicker material that ties the integrity of the shape together, which is why we can play for hours and hours. We test our drivers for 24 hours continuous at the maximum the ample do when we're doing development just to make sure that these things can hold together for the long haul. And so we've got roughly 50-60% of the, of the diameter of the actual main cone as an overlay. And what that does is it stiffens, it toughens it, and it also quiets things. When you have that overlap of the glue bonds, it really quiets down the structure and that's one of the secrets to get the kind of texture and delicacy that we can get out of such a big concussive driver.
Now, these amps, these thousand watt amps, we've now sold over 6,000 of these over the last seven years in different models. They are as bulletproof as a thousand watt amp can be. We have two parametric, an A filter and a B filter. And it's really important to understand that when you don't want to be using it, you need tip and you're done. You leave it in the middle. Otherwise, any changes you make, you're actually changing the parametric continuing rather than being able to adjust gain or crossover points.

Was going for SVS was retailer says no don’t do it those were about 2 k. Guy says get the REL t9i I’ll even give for less than 1k guarantee it’ll be the best home theater decision you’ve ever made! He was absolutely right!

Mr. Hunter, may I suggest you include a typical grille so owners can blow them off for party guests.

[@dacheeintl229]

Definitely recommend listening to it, it is really amazing

[@rogerwhollingsworth6629]

I think its low quality and frankly it s gross and mushy to the ear

[@cainification]

@@rogerwhollingsworth6629 lmao right

The strongest surface subwoofer

Wish I could carry it up my stairs.

It looks like sonus faber speakers.
