I will always have RELS with my systems. If you can afford two, GET THEM. I wish it didn't take me over 35 years to hear the difference.

I have a pair of T7i paired with my KEF LS50 Meta and it sounds great. Hearing you say the x line integrates even better is something I'd like to hear for myself.

It’s almost my 30th birthday and for my first hifi system I was looking for a pair of ls50 meta. The subwoofer would be a perfect match! Thank you for the review, perfect timing

I bet all of Jay’s Patreon members are interested in these. I wonder how they would compare to my pair of B&W ASW610’s? I like my sealed B&W’s but if I went for down firing, I’d be tempted by these. But then I might feel like my speakers needed an upgrade. And the cycle continues…

I have a t7x and am super happy with it. I hope to get another sometime to add even more bass clout to the system. It hits hard and vibrates the room but never gets muddy. One of the best subs I've ever heard on a home system. Would recommend!

I want one petty bad. But they are expensive . And Jay make me want one every time he talks about them.

I brought T5x recently to pair with LS50W.. Man they are awesome... like a marriage made in heaven lol!!

I just got a REL TX/9i in red and it's incredible. I only use about 20-30% volume on the sub to round out my Wharfedale Lintons on a HiFi Rose RS201E. It feels like I'm tripping through a whole new dimension of audio.

I think they would be a great match and pair really well with my Lumina 2. These two companies have history together and I think their products would definitely compliment each other. I'm a big REL fan boy as well

I have the tiny little REL T-Zero, and even that is an amazingly musical sub! They are amazing.

The first time I realized how amazing a well integrated sub could be was an old REL Q201e. Sadly, it is no more it was damaged in a move. Great video Jay & team. Proud patreon member.

I have never thought about adding a sub to my system until I saw this review. I would love to pair the T5X with my Lowther PM2A drivers.

Content like this makes being a Patreon totally worth it. These REL subs look amazing.

Who wouldn’t want it… it will make my sound system complete! Hopefully you will choose me. Thanks for your great videos.

I built a pair of the CSS Criton 1TDXs based on your review of the base model Criton. I have a Denafrips Ares 2 connected to a Rogue Sphinx V3. I listen to a lot of fast paced music such as Japanese hardcore and D-Beat. The Critons definately keep up with the speed of the bass. In my room the bass is pretty good but just missing that very bottom end. I need a subwoofer that can keep up the speed and fill out the bottom end. It would be awesome to have a T5 X to compliment the Critons. Tightening my belt and eating ramen saving for one. If I happen to win, my stomach will thank you. Thank you for all the advice on gear over the years. The Ares 2 and CSS Critons have changed my life

There is only one reason to own a REL, they are the best. If you enjoy music as much as I do, there is no substitute!!! Love to have one to compliment my system.

I have two T/i subs. Will never ever again be without REL subs in my system.

Thanks Jay! For YEARS I've been happily listening to my Kef Reference 101 speakers with their pretty high cutoff of 90hz. I really need to get around to hooking up a subwoofer, but I want it to be high quality like the REL.

I have always wanted to try a Rel but it's just out of my price range. I currently have a Rythmic and it would be great for a shootout as they are both built for sq. Good luck!

I just built a set of Anthology 3 way towers, and a Finalist Center channel. DIY designs by Jim Holtz and Curt Campbell. It's my first real hifi stereo/HT system. I haven't had the funds yet to add a sub so YES! I would love that REL!!!

I bought a new T7i and got rid of my SVS SB2000 subs because I just couldn’t get them to integrate, and was always fooling with them. I liked the T7i and how easy it was to blend it into my system that I bought another one (used) and that definitely made things better, though one in a fairly smaller room is all you need.

You don’t appreciate how much your system or current speakers benefit from adding RELs until you do. I suggest you add a pair of RELs. One of the benefits no one talks about is that for music purposes, you can toe in or out your RELs separately from your main speakers so as to optimize your soundstage and sweet spot. So for example you can have your main speakers fire straight ahead. But you can toe in your RELs. As for the T/5x giveaway, I would pair it with a pair of Zu Audio Dirty Weekend speakers with the upgraded tweeters and capacitors. Driving them would be a Naim UnitiStar. Thanks!

Great review, as always! Maybe overkill but I'd pair this with my Klipsch Forte IV's. This would be a MONSTER setup! Thanks for considering me in the giveaway!

With REL T5X paring with my Triangle Borea BR08 that will take my system to the next level. Thank you for another great review I'm a big fan.

Iv got a 23 Yr old rel strata 2 it's that good it's bass matches a pair of Atc speakers

NEIGHBOUR PEACEMAKERS ever since I swapped my 12" dual side-firing subs for a pair of 8" down-firing Rels for my small 13 x 11.5f (4×3.5m) size room which is located in a block of flats I haven't received a single complaint from my lovely neighbours! I loved the way you compared and explained the rels performance... not only are you knowledgeable but your delivery is top-notch and yes I would love to pair my stereo rel t5is with a new pair of Quad Z1s or better still the new Z1s with a nice pair of stereo TXs. 😁

I love my 2 Rel’s, Old school I must say but they are the beautiful Rel Stadium 2 They dig deep n fill the mids nicely and boy you feel them even at low volumes I also love my other old school Rel’s The Q 100 , which are looking ugly but are running fine Beautiful sonic beasts All I can say , get you a pair , you will never ever regret it , bigger the better as totally tuneable to your system

Jay I think the connections are called XLR they are balanced inputs that carries two positive inputs opposed to one from RCA. Positive is that it cancles out distortion for a cleaner sound. Can can only imagine how beautiful it sounds. Proper Bass extensions raises the quality of your music who says otherwise is missing out on something.

I have a pair of REL 528se subs, getting old now but once tuned in properly to your main speakers it makes a huge difference, especially to the midrange! Subs do very little work (55hz to about 20hz in mine) in a music system but I wouldn't be without them!

I would absolutely love a Rel T5X because I’ve been obsessed with Rel subs for years now, since hearing one at a friends house, but I’ve never been able to afford one. I was saving up for like 14 months before an accident left my mother in law without a car and without the ability to drive to her doctors appointments. So I sacrificed my Rel and put the money towards a vehicle for her. I’d love to win one. Thanks!

I shared on facebook, I hope it worked right!😁 I think the REL is the way to go, particularly for music, my father had one that was a delight and wasn't overpowering for home theater too. He used it with some huge Dali Helicons.

Jay, been watching you for quite a while, I really enjoy your format this way. Have one of your friends stop by and give an opinion, that’s cool dude! You get better and better. Thanks !

I'd love to have these because I fall in love with REL the last couple of months because the feedback and engineering of the subs. Since I'm looking forward to build a HiFi on a tight budget, this piece would be very helpful to have a nicely blended bass in my system...Good Luck Everybody 😀

The bare wire on the cable go directly to the speaker terminals where your main speakers are connected to. Follow the instructions in the manual. Very easy to do.

I just bought a 5x for my Harbeth 30.1 in my home office. really sounds amazing. I'm ready to move up the line for my main system that has a couple of ELAC subs in it now.

Ok Jay, I’m sold… REL over SF Gravis. I truly wanted a sub (or 2) in my 2-channel listening setup that was created for and dedicated to music vs home theater and as usual, with your knowledgeable, experienced and in-depth reviews, I’ve found what I was looking for. Thanks for this my man!

Little known fact…REL is the patreon saint of subwoofers.

The REL would really round out my Wharfedale OPUS 1 speakers. They're terrific, but as 3-way floor standers with only one 8 inch woofer, they could use the help from the REL (especially in the 10 X 12 room they're in). Thanks for taking care of your fans!

High level connection on REL is actually pretty good and easy to setup. I think it's time to move my two t5i out for these t5x. Looking forward to seeing more videos on the Patreon account. Thanks, Jay.

Can’t wait just ordered REL T9x to compliment my Magico A3 which sit in my large great room. Thanks Jay for all the time and effort you put into your vids! Love to add the REL T5x to my bedroom setup😁

The T5X will be perfect for my room. I have few speakers that will benefit with the REL. And for me to experience a REL. Great review as always.

After seeing your review, I decided that I wanted to buy Magnepan LRS. I think that REL subwoofer will be the perfect complement.

I would use it with my atc scm 7 but I am in Australia it would cost to much to transport. Your doing a grate job Jay

This sub would be the perfect compliment to my desktop setup, Spendor S3/5R2, which sharply roll off after 70Hz. I really like the rounded sides of the new design!

Hi Jay, i am from Sunny Singapore and started into 2 channel music listening last year. I currently owns a pair of PMC 25.22 book shelf speakers and has been thinking of adding a REL sub to my speakers. After viewing this video, i am even more convinced to get the 5X instead of the 7X. I believe the sub would fit in well with my integrated amp n streamer. Thanks n keep the videos flowing!!

Hi its the first video i have seen from you. Because i am on the market for a subwoofer for my 2 channel system i was searching for Rel subs on youtube. I really had my doubts if a tx5 subwoofer would be enough for my audiovector floorstanders. But after seeing your video you convinced me its enough and its a really nice subwoofer and big enough for my mid sized room. So thank you for your video keep up the good work. I subbed and liked ofcourse. Greetings from the Netherlands. 👍🏻

A day without being subscribed to Jay's Patreon is like a day without sunshine.

I'd pair the T/5x with my Kef LS50s. Rel hands down makes the best looking subs on the market.

I have one T7x with my Spendor D7.2’s… amazeballs… its certainly not all about the bass! Kept my old T7i with a 2nd set up with a set of Buchardt S400’s… great little movie set up 2.1 channel. Great review Jay 😁

Love my REL S812. Does awesome with music and movies. Found bass in some music that I didn’t even know existed.

Just picked up a set of T5X to go with my Zu dirty weekend ii. Setting the speakers right on top of the subs too! Cheers!

Rel are excellent no doubt about it. Regarding the high level connection marketing I think it is due to tgat every amplifier has speakers level output and not all have preout outputs . I think if every amplifier had low level output them REL would have been marketing rhe LOW level connection. All of those connections are good . Low level is jast as good as high level connection if not better in certain cases. I prefer the low level connection if svs. Two preout outputs on your amp and two RCA cables and your done. simple. efficient.

Would love to add the T/5x as part of the better quality 2-channel setup I am working toward for the living room (replacing a poor soundbar). Keep the great video's coming.

I would pair the REL T5X with my Totem Arro speakers which lacks low end bass. Thanks for your review of these lovely sub-woofers !

My REL Q400 pees me off enormously. It works superbly well in home cinema LFE mode with it's (phantom centre &) 4 bookshelf speakers mounted high up in L + R corners front & back, tilted down towards listening sofa, no prob, great earth shaking bass & dynamic explosions etc etc. But apart from that (much less used home cinema role) ..trying to get that REL Q400e singing with me on my listening couch with whatever speaker pair i may have in position... (always firing down long length of room thats twice the length of it's 18'ft width) ...i only get the sub's bass improvement when my head is at most, 8'ish inches or better less, from a side walls... (sub sounds deep & superbly integrated when my head is 6'ish" from sidewall above my equipment shelves (set back in 15" deep, 5'ft wide alcove halfway down room's sidewall) ...but soon as i move away to approach the listening sofa 2/3'rds down room's length away from speaker's end, all & any of that bass improvement i heard when adjusting whatever with my forehead nearly touching the sidwall is gone, plus i feel a lessening of the speaker's own deep bass, that's most probably due to some degree of anti-phase bass in the sub/ speaker overlap region. The REL's phase switch is 2-way, i.e. "none or a total max' possible" shift but it's absolutely scientifically credible & possible (is it not?) that in any similar problem such as mine, a particular room's shape might call for a "+90 or a -42''deg" phase shift or whatever degree shift, who knows without the option of contuious "all-phase possible" phase shift adjustment as ive seen a few subwoofers do have, for a good resson, i bet. I'd have the sub in the room's middle for stereo if it helped, but it's f/ward faced 12" driver'd 25 or 30 kg huge black lump that will get objections. I'd sooner have a phase-shift based option. Just a thought.

I currently have a pair of ELAC Uni-FI UB5's (the original Uni-fi's) and although I think they have decent bass I think adding a sub would give me a fuller and more dynamic sound. I've always heard that REL's are the Creme de La Creme of Sub's and are so musical. Adding a T/5X which I've had my eye on would definitely make my music listening that much more enjoyable.

Hey Jay. Love the Rel’s. You’re content is awesome and that’s why I’m an OG Patreon.

I'm looking to pair the T/5X with my KEF LS50M'S.

I would love to pair this baby to my B&W 606 anniversary editions! They already hit quite hard in my smallish room but I don’t think there could be too much of the good stuff!😁

Loved the video. REL is the only subwoofer I would consider due to their high level input which is perfect for vinyl. If I won I would pair it with the Tekton 2-10 Perfect Set

An 18" Professional audio subwoofer can play fast too when compared with a smaller subwoofer such as this REL. Because of the large cone surface area the 18" subwoofer has, it hardly has to move inwards/outwards so there's a great transient response and they can play really low effortlessly. And I can tell you that what a Professional Audio subwoofer does best is to play music. That's what it's made for. Try it and see for yourself.

About to build my CSS 1TDx's (partially thanks to you guys) and would love a REL to create a full range system! Keep up the amazing content, really appreciate it

I would pair this with my KLIPSCH KLF-20s, and be a happy camper for sure.

I have Focal Kanta No1 and I wish I had more bass..I knew I should buy the Kanta2 but its almost double the price....I'm a student! Electrical Engineering.

The Rel Sub is an unreachable goal in my setup.

I would like to pair the REL with my 23 year old Mission 734i speakers. I think it would be an enhancement of my audio system. Thanks Jay for your great video's

I 'd love to listen to my monitor audio silver 8 speakers with the t5x. My room is quite small (20 square meters) Thank you for your helpful reviews.

I always like the discussions over on patreon that these types of vidoes inspire.

Definitely feel like I’m missing some bottom end in my system. Have been considering adding a sub to get this sound. Would love to hear the change the REL could make. Proud Patreon of Jay’s channel!

I've got a pair of Magnepan 1.7i. I really like what they do with bass, as they are fast and extremly detailed. Only issue: they don't go very deep at all. I've tried matching with some cheap Home Theater subs, but the result wasn't great. What I've heared from you and other reviewers suggest, that the REL with the maggies would be a perfect pairing. If I win it, I'll be happy to give all of you feedback :)

Hey Jay, have always enjoyed your reviews. First time I came across one of your videos I thought "this guy to young to know anything about hi fi. This guys high school library card hasn't expired yet, what can he possibly know? " But you proved me and everyone else wrong. Thank you for all the good work that you do. Please consider me for the give away, RELs are just too steep for me. Bring back the silver hair already.

I would pair the REL sub to some 5 1/4 " ultra compact stand speakers, (ADS 300c). I have heard my fathers REL and I'd love it.

Always wanted to try a Rel sub and you always speak so highly of it! With all your experience on listen to quality speakers must be good and hopefully I will get the chance too one day. Keep up the great reviews!

I would pair T5X with the KEF R11 😁 I need this subwoofer in my life.

I saw this on Patreon, great upgrade for 2 channel audio systems.

I currently have Revel M106 paired with a clapped out Martin Logan sub that desperately needs replaced. I'd really like to pair 2 smaller subs rather then one large one. Only having to buy one more would be a sign!

REL T5 would be the PERFECT addition to my small room system! I happen to be in the market for a small sub. It doesn’t get better than REL. A great match for my Klipsch RP600M. I’m driving them with a variety of amps to keep things interesting 😬. Cheers !

I would like to hear this sub as a complement to my Zu Omens. I love listening to the king of instruments. Yes I'm a fan of the pipe organ growel .

Great review. I like the short comments by Tujan on T7x vs T5i, I've never own a REL so it's good to know that a higher model could offer more grunt, yes and Jay mentioned tasteful grant. That adds a lot of context to what a good subwoofer could do than merely 30% increase in price and wonder if I should go for T5i or T5x or T7x...Also I find it useful to know if I'm a home theater guy, why should i pay more for a good music subwoofer. To know the quality of good bass extension that adds more bass details, fuller midrange and smoother high frequencies...and I didn't know the HPF adds delay which REL makes it short enough, compare to competitors, so that it becomes easier to integrate with main speakers. Good to know. I'm proud to be a patreon and to support the on going work to provide more useful information to the audio community and help improve tuning my system. :)

I would pair it with kef ls50, so i dont strain the amp so much. Keep up the good work!

The T5X seems like it would be a good pairing with my new uni-fi reference bookshelf speakers. I would use it for music as well as for home theater sound . After waiting 20 years to put something nice together, this seems like a great fit for the wait.

Jay, great reviews and enjoy your presentation style. I am putting a new system together using the CSS Criton 1TD-X w superior crossover purely for listening to music in my home office (=former spare bedroom). I think the added REL T5X subwoofer would elevate the listening experience to an amazing level!

Pictures at an Exhibition is great on a Pipe Organ.

I would love to add the T5x with my KEF LS50 Anniversary speakers. Great review!🥰

These subs look like they will be amazing. I've been interested in rel subs for a few years now but I haven't had the opportunity to get or even listen to one in my area. I've been building my system for the last few years and the last piece of the system is a sub. I still don't have one yet but it's my goal. I was planning on trying to find a used one last spring with some money I had saved up but then work got slow and other priorities happened. Hopefully I'll find a way to get one in the future. I will have it paired with a pair of focal 1038 speakers. I borrowed a friend's jbl ht sub and I was amazed at how much more full the bottom end was and also the midrange. It was like I had a totally different speaker. It made me feel like I wanted to get a rel from all the good things that I have read about them. Someone is going to get a great sub to make their system improve immensely. Good luck everyone.

Right now I'm breaking in a pair of dynaudio evoke 20 speakers. I'm get better bass than I had before, but I don't quite get the bottom-end punch I'd like. (I listen to classical music and jazz. That includes pipe organ music (Bach, mostly), but honestly I don't think you need to hear down to 16 hz to appreciate organ music.) I've been thinking about getting a subwoofer. I've heard that a subwoofer can help you to hear the space where the music was recorded. Thanks for the review.

I have Dynaudio Special 40. I'm between selecting the T5X (maybe a pair) and 'one' T7X (maybe too big, too powerful). Room is 14 x 19, but the listening area is 14 x 12 feet. I still have some time before pulling the trigger. PS: Used to own T5i and it made my Decapo 3A MM at the time, well, it made them a wall of sound.

I’ve been looking at getting one of the REL subs. I’m looking to pair it with my Tannoy Cheviots. It would really complete the system. 👍

I own my the 1205 but my brothers t7x is definitely a level above

Just became a patreon because of your video quality and thoughtful insights! Thanks for getting me into speakers, haha!

Nice review! I understand how hard it is to gush about a product you like without coming across like a shill. I'm hoping to pair this with my Vanatoo T0s for nearfield listening.

I would pair the Rel sub with my Klipsch RF7 and Yamaha AS2200. I think Rythmik will be another great choice.

Would pair the REL with my triangle Titus EZ which lack some low end punch

I love my REL Subs. I pair with my Klipsch 600M and Heresy 4s.

I would pair the T5X with my diy GR-Research XLS-Encores. A very musical sub for a very nice pair of bookshelf speakers :)

I think this little REL would pair nicely with my Focal Aria 936s.

Love your vids Jay. The REL would be a beautiful match with my Lumina IIIs. I have a neighbour who likes making noise very early in the mornings. I need some thunder to get some pay back.

Nowadays working in the medical field with this pandemic experiencing it daily, has really been stressful to say the least. Fortunately , I find my humble rig as my respite from all the chaos I go thru on a daily basis. Ive enjoyed my Ls 50 metas since i got them 3 months ago and always wondered how they’ll sound with a good sub. Ive had my eyes on the t5i since you reviewed them but will definitely settle with the better tx series when budget permits. It would be blast to win this sub., especially coming from you. Thanks for everything you do.

This would be matched up with my Heaven 11 integrated and Monitor Audio Bronze 6's. Thanks Jay.
