And since I don't have a UK version, then I'll never experience the effects. I guess i'm not really sure as to what 'contour' means and how it would affect the sub. I just question its usefulness when you already have a ROLLOFF control switch. It seems that this is an extra feature that can be useful for some. I'm also curious as to why REL omitted the DEPTH/SLAM switch for the US version.
#REL QUAKE II REVIEW MANUAL#
It got me confused at first but I re-searched the manual and your post helped too. IN means crossover is engaged, OUT means crossover is bypassed.ĭon't know why they have to do this for the US version. MODE switch has been replaced with two separate controls and is therefore a combinationof the 0/180 PHASE switch (only 2 positions for US which affects both hi and lo level inputs unlike the UK version which you can set crossover to bypass or engage for lo level input) and the LFE XOVER control which switches the CROSS OVER in or out and affects LFE input only (always active for HI LEVEL input). Independent reviews rate the musicality of both subs as excellent.3. Based on the laws of physics, the SVS and Hsu will dramatically outperform the Rel sub (in terms of extension and output). The Hsu and SVS also have significantly larger enclosures.
#REL QUAKE II REVIEW DRIVERS#
Linear driver throw is also important but these specs aren't published for the drivers in question. If you look at the Quake, it has an 8" driver (vs. I have yet to see a review of a Rel sub that includes rigorous measurements (SPL at % distortion, group delay, etc.). The Hsu and SVS are excellent performers in their price categories (the SVS is slightly better, but is also more expensive). Take a look at impartial independent reviews. I wouldn't lend much credence to any manufacturer's extension or output specs. Note that the SVS has a small footprint but has considerable size (enclosure volume). If you want a small enclosure, you're going to spend a lot more on the amp and driver (i.e. The SVS and HSU subs may be a bit overwhelming (too big) for my setup but i've heard very good things about them in several forums and reviews.Ī good sub usually has some combination of the following: high linear driver excursion, a large enclosure, & a lot of power. I am using a B&W Nautilus HTM-2, N805 and SCM-8 THX dipoles with 120W/5ch Marantz SR-19THX Select receiver. of 9'-6" in front and 15'-10" halfway thru the length of the room, then it levels to 7'-11" to the back which opens to a kitchen on one side and to a hallway/stairs on the other.
Not what you asked but might be useful A Anonymous Guest 4 All I can say is that for it's size it goes pretty low, but the speed and agility is stunning whether with music or cinema. My room is 12'x24' with a sloping ceiling ht. My experience of the REL Quake is that a stack of weight on the top helps to tighten up the sound and make it a lot better for stereo. The SVS and HSU subs may be a bit overwhelming (too big) for my setup but i've heard very good things about them in several forums and reviews. oh unlike the other two the Quake can be had in cherry wood. I am so impressed by the dimension of the Rel Quake (9.96 x 11.57 x 10.7) yet it goes down to 23hz but I'm not sure how it matches up against the other two. My budget is $600 and these subs fit the bill. I am looking to add a sub for my HT setup and I would like a compact subwoofer so it will not be distracting to the decor of my living room. I would like to hear from anyone who have had experience with the above-mentioned subs.
