one more amp question

Hawkeye

Tonyb,

The REL is my newest toy. I don't have it dialed in yet but it is an extremely musical sub. It blends extremely well with the ML's and it is not possible to audibly locate it. It is visually quite large, almost like a small dorm fridge. It has an unusual hook up. It gets the signal directly from the output of my amp through a Speakon connector. I tried several hook up options and the REL recommended cable is by far the best sounding. I"m sure it would be a nice addition to a HT.

Skykeys,

I also am 50 and have entered my second childhood now that the kids are out of college and on their own!! I meant no put down of any type of DSP. Since we both agree that listening is a personal choice, to each his own.

I'm fortunate to have two different systems. For the HT, to me, the DSP's are a requirement. I'm not a big HT guy so if I don't have the latest and greatest DSP, it is ok with me. If the manufacturers made it possible to upgrade the equipment I might be tempted to upgrade, I just refuse to chase it every year with my checkbook. For 2 channel, I like just plain music without anything added or subtracted. I had a hard time accepting a violin coming at me from behind when I know it's supposed to be on my left front!!

Last year, my youngest son asked us to retube his Marshall head for Christmas. Ouch! But it sure sounded sweet!!
