can't go wrong with the REL products

@DjJeffo78 2 года назад

I usually use Drum n Bass to test out subwoofers sound quality. But I did have a an old CD and Cassette that I use for “Sound Tuning” for subwoofers. Not in my possession anymore. Great video by the way! 😁🙏🏼

You don't even need to play music with bass. A song with only vocals or piano sound you can hear differently good sound with REL

@Pentenfi 2 года назад

A passive radiator design is not "a sealed box with extra bemefits of a port". It is by design like a bassreflex system with extra suspension of the passive radiator. It does not have better group delay than a bass reflex enclosure, actually it is usually the other way around. What makes it special is that designers can get away with much smaller boxes and still have low tuning frequency

@madcrabber1113 Год назад

very good Johnny, you get a star 😂 😂

@LS-ti6jo Год назад

My only complaint of the T9's is that they should have reference marks behind the three knobs so owners don't have to count the number of clicks of each knob (which is a pain in the A. .).

@Skye_the_toller Год назад

If it is close to a wall ( as it supposed)… you cannot see anything in back… so click is still good ;)

@JamesWilliams-gf8gm 2 года назад

Good video. An external highpass crossover with a higher crossover point (60hz-ish) would take the system to an even higher level.

@vikrambhaskar7976 2 года назад

Hii tharbamer! I was just wondering if you can make a video on how to connect subwoofer to stereo amplifier. Most amps don't have dedicated sub outs so an other option is to use speaker level connection but it's very confusing especially when subs have only one set of binding post. A video tutorial/ demo on this will be extremely helpful😊

@thomasmetcalf4642 11 месяцев назад

I too have Rel subs (two 212/SX) and love them. I've paired them with Sound Labs 745 electrostatic speakers driven by Pass Labs 350.8 amp. Have you listened to Pass Labs gear? I think you'd be very impressed. Thanks for the videos!

@willbrink 9 месяцев назад

@ChaiBearProductions 2 года назад

Looking to get one of these for my LS50 Wireless II. I had the T5/x in the past and it was a small powerful beast and did much more for the sound than just adding bass. Everything was fuller, more dynamic and the soundstage and midrange opened up significantly.

@Eugene737 2 года назад

I too am a little confused with the frequency response. First of all, thank you for showing that. From the looks of it, it seems to drop off like a cliff around 85hz for both the speakers and then with the subs. Almost as if there is some high-pass filter going on. Or that isn't the best location for producing frequencies 80hz and below. Or something else? I found for my dedicated rectangular room (9'x14'x7.5') that dual subs next to the speakers up front didn't produce the smoothest bass and a sort of diagonal setup was much better. So I really think it's room dependent but perhaps it's just my room.

@Tharbamar 2 года назад

Please remember I measured it from 10ft away, yes it’s all room dependent, I would use single center sub if I have room like you have. Thanks

Thanks for the video, Tharambar. For music, I have two REL T5i in an 18x24x8 room with Spendor SP2/3r2 speakers (or with Elac ARB-51)-very good results but not quite the last word. Do you think exchanging my dual small subs for a single T9x would be a worthy improvement, or would I need a pair of nines?

@Tharbamar 2 года назад

T9X will improve in speed,response and clarity, you may find it even more musical than what have, thanks

@audioconnection4450 2 года назад

I always like 2 woofers as it blends better without excitement of the rooms nodes or making the room heavy and spoiling the main speakers midrange clarity

@supes323 2 года назад

Im a little confused by the in room frequency response graph. I would have expected more of a measurable difference in the lower frequencies (red line) as it doesn’t appear you have much low frequency extension? However in the sound demo you can clearly hear some bass overlap between your kefs and the subs.

@Tharbamar 2 года назад

I understand, probably due to recording microphone was picking up more room than measurement one, I have figure out how to match them accurately in the future, thanks

@martindy3 2 года назад

Curious why you’ve opted for the T/9x compared to REL’s recommended sub pairing for your KEF, being the S/812? Have you listened whether the SQ difference justify the additional cost?

@MrBlur510 2 года назад

I wonder the same thing, there is a comparison put out by REL saying that even 1 s510 will be better than 2 T9x.

@robk5745 Год назад

@giangvu7902 2 года назад

How did you you connect it to your amplifier without a pre-out connection? Using the speaker line level, how did connect the black wire to your amplifier. Thank you!

@Tharbamar 2 года назад

All connection were made at speaker terminals, black goes to negative, Yellow and Red twisted together(each sub) connecting positive terminals, for single sub you have to connect yellow to left positive red to right positive terminals and black to one of negative terminal, that’s the best way connect for 2 channel system, Thanks

@torus186 Год назад

Those KEF speakers really didn't need any sub input IMO. A smaller sealed enclosure would have been better to test here.

How’s the performance with movies? I have R11s as well. 50%movies 50%music. REL recommends to pair R11s with s510. I’m leaning towards one t9 now and one more later

@Tharbamar 2 года назад

I’ve watched a few movies like Transformers The Last Knight and Mission Impossible Fallout etc in 2.2 set up, sounded very impactful and impressive, T9X is about 90% of S510, actually developed based on S510 technology and know how, dual T9X is better than single S510 for me, thanks

Do you think I can get away with just one of these if pairing with B&W 706 s2? I don’t particularly want to spend thousands on subwoofers. My room is approx 25x15ft.

@Tharbamar Год назад

It will be totally fine with one subwoofer in your room.

@f430ferrari5 Год назад

I personally don’t like the concept of 1 subwoofer with bookshelf speakers. Mid-bass hard drum kick would be lacking but again it depends on the type of music people listen to. If one chooses a smaller sub and that sub is placed in a corner then it would appear that the drummer is in the corner. Some bookshelf speakers can produce a decent amount of bass so 1 sub might work. Better to start with 1 sub and if not satisfied perhaps buy another.

@summerrr1 Год назад

@@Tharbamar thanks, got one today and it’s great 👍🏻

@Nightjar726 6 месяцев назад

Time to get a mic and REW to integrate those near perfect with your speakers. It does make a serious difference. And takes out the guess work. Much faster than doing stuff by ear. And way more accurate

@Tharbamar 6 месяцев назад

Sorry I’ve been doing REW for long time, thanks for the advice but I prefer to fine tune it with my ears, measurements don’t really matter in the end because it doesn’t know my taste, room and system like I do.

@Reggaebeatman 2 года назад

This sounds like my type Sub. How do u think only 1 x REL t9x sub would sound in a larger room (20f wide x 30 feet long). Seated listening position is approx 15 feet from Speakers. I am big on high quality music fidelity, wanting big sound stage and prefer great bass and mid range articulation. do like playing gaming MW Call of Duty etc , low end rumble would be nice. HOW does it perform with film EDGE of TOMORROW? I read not many subs can handle the intro. Hi fedility music for me is a higher priority....SO this looks like great choice. To complicate things i listen to Classical, Jazz, Rock, Blues.....and Bone Crushing Metal. Thanks for the Fantasic review!!!

It can sufficiently provide you good quality bass if you can set them in the middle of two speakers but low end bass response is more impressive with two than one subwoofer, thanks

The more subs you incorporate the smoother the bass response becomes throughout the room. They begin to disappear and will image better. MiniDSP HD 2X4 is a cheap and amazing tool that will not only transform the low end of your system ( with multi subs ) but your complete listening experience. Best $300 ( with Microphone ) I've ever spent on my system.
