Hi Jay, I just purchased the HECO Aurora 700 tower speakers. Looking at adding a REL Subwoofer by next month. Is the T5X or T7X a better fit for a mid-sized space?
Hey I own this subwoofer and I absolutely love it the best sounding subwoofer I have ever heard in my life I has subwoofers for as much as $4000 but this is my favourite one thing was wondering I noticed the light on the back never turns off which means I think the subwoofer never goes on sleep when it's not in use does it mean I have to turn it on and off every time or can it be left like that please help me with this thank you.
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 !
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
Wow, nice first choices.
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.
Get better speakers,, you'll hear more difference and it's going to cost less
Content like this makes being a Patreon totally worth it. These REL subs look amazing.
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!
Good for music?
@@marko-182 Yep! I got one 2wks ago and love it! Previous sub was a Paradigm i'd had for 15yrs
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 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 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!
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.
Thanks for all your great videos. I started watching you in your early videos. You looked 15 or something. Keep the good work. I'm glad you picked this field for work!
barely have to integrate a sub that's too weak to excite first modes. REL uses bullshit like "in room frequency response" which is literally a meaningless number.
REL is 90% marketing, 10% speaker design, and all of it is outdated design.
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!
Hey Jay. Love the Rel’s. You’re content is awesome and that’s why I’m an OG Patreon.
This might be an excellent combination for my new horn speakers. Great review as always, Jay. I am supporting you on patreon, keep up the awesome work.
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!
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. 👍🏻
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 😀
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!
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!
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!!
Just became a patreon because of your video quality and thoughtful insights! Thanks for getting me into speakers, haha!
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😁
Hahaha are you joking?
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.
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.
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!
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.
Overpriced, ugly, free bath handles. Lol. Don't go that low
If you like music...then REL...if you like boom and don't care that is our of phase, and are unable to hear coherence, then SVS or others will do the trick
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!
Not overkill. I use a pair of 10" subs with my La Scalas and it's awesome.
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!
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. :)
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.
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.
High level is only useful in a hifi system. You don't use them for AV
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.
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 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.
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
I have the tiny little REL T-Zero, and even that is an amazingly musical sub! They are amazing.
you can make any sub sound amazingly musical by simply playing music through it.
"musical" subs are a myth pushed by the hifi snake oil infested world
Can't imagine that being good with movies
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
Might want to wait till you get the speakers completed and located for your room. Those Critons can have a 30hz in room response and can overwhelm the bass in a room .
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!
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!
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.
I always like the discussions over on patreon that these types of vidoes inspire.
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. 😁
Great review! Thinking of adding a pair of Rel to compliment my Dynaudio HS. Your review is quite informative. Thanks!
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.
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…
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.
Actually they're not XLR connectors it's a "Speakon" connector - a very different animal.
It's a Neutrik SpeakON connector amd it's becoming an industry standard for amplifier and loudspeaker connections for professional audio and by the looks of things for home use too. They're really good 👍
@@no_bull you won't need these in AV system.
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 😁
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.
Hi Jay, subs are designed to produce bass at the lower range
LOVE your vids bro. Keep up the grind 👍🏼
Who wouldn’t want it… it will make my sound system complete! Hopefully you will choose me. Thanks for your great videos.
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.
Great stuff Jay! I would pair this with my vintage Snell E II's. And likely buy a second one to have stereo subs.
Hi Jay, what do you think about an 2.2 stereo set up (2 bookshelves + 2 subs)? And how do you connect the speakers and sub to an stereo integrated , just for music listening,
Also in an 7.2 AV receiver ( Marantz ), how do you wil conect the same two subs to te AV receiver for listening in 2 channel stereo mode but with the subs playing the low frequencies.
Thank you I’m advance for your help and congrats for the excelente videos and reviews.
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 :)
I brought T5x recently to pair with LS50W.. Man they are awesome... like a marriage made in heaven lol!!
Ooh new Rel subs! I would pair with my Zu Dirty Weekends. Though they are called full range and are somewhat large, I think a sub really helps these speakers. I can imagine a Rel would be better than my current sub.
Hello Jay , would you please tell me where you purchased your front wall diffuser. Also what brand ?
Thanks for your time.
This is a great video. I am looking to get rid if my Klipsch sub and replacing it with a REL sub to pair with my Klipsch RP 6000 F. I listen mainly to 2 channel but also use my current sub in my HT system. My question did use dual subs when review the REL sub or can a person get away with one in a NYC apartment..
PS Two Minute Tuesdays are great..
Hello guy’s, love the way you explain the capabilities of the Rel 5X. I would love to get one on my Aperion verus 111 to see if I could be satisfied and add another one in the mix if it pleases me. My intentions was to do the 7tx’s. You got me thinking now if I can save a little . I’m more interested in cleaning up the upper and mid range on Aperion with some additional punch.
Hello Jay, I have the IOTA VX stack with my Klipsch RP-600m (which sound amazing ). The REL was on my list to bring that extra when listening to music ! Greets from the Netherlands
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 !
Jay, enjoyed your video. I hope you can help clear some myth in my mind about subs.. the T7x is front firing with a passive below whereas the T5x is just down firing... is there a discernible sonic difference between the two in an average room(sort of like your setup) at the same volume level specially if I only want to augment a GR research XLS encore stand mount speakers for two channel listening only. My ultimate setup would be two subs , but initially I'll start with one sub.. just want to know if its worth stretching my initial budget to go from the T5x to a T7x?
Another awesome video Jay. What brand are the quadratic diffusers at the front of your room? Thanks
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
What? High level input perfect for vinyl? Is there any paper to support this nonsense?
Jay, GREAT REVIEW! Very informative.
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!!!
Thanks for another great review.
REL really do make impressive subs.
I would like to add one to the new stereo system I am starting to put together.
Lot's of baby steps at the moment.
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.
Thanks for the great video and description. When I get to try a REL sub I have a feeling I may become very Patreon ic towards them.
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 just recently found your channel and like that you are not just reviewing speakers, but also teaching your audience. My audio setup for my PC is lacking (Bose Companion 2 Series III) and I'm torn if I should buy quality headphones or speakers and a sub. If I were to win this sub, then I would buy speakers for sure - which kind, not sure; perhaps a recommendation from one of your videos.
After seeing your review, I decided that I wanted to buy Magnepan LRS. I think that REL subwoofer will be the perfect complement.
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'm planning on getting a sub. I've seen a few YTs on the different manufacturers. Still narrowing it down to which one would be the better fit for me.
I’ve never had a sub. These seem like a great pick. I’d pair them with the ELAC debut reference. Nice video. Thx
Hi from Latvia, love your videos, a lot of knowledge about Hi Fi Gear I Learned from here. My first setup is Klipsch RP-600M Bookshelfs, I love mids and highs in those speakers, but its lacking base. So I would Love to pair them with REL. Keep up with great content.
Hello Jay, do you find the IOTAVX SA3 + IOTAVX PA3, Elac Uni-Fi Reference (bookshelves) and REL T5X a good match? Thank you.
thank you for the nice review . . but i have a question do you know if connecting high level to a class D amp (floating the black wire) can dmg the amp?
Love my REL S812. Does awesome with music and movies. Found bass in some music that I didn’t even know existed.
I saw this on Patreon, great upgrade for 2 channel audio systems.
Hey Jay, good job...thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I would like to pair the REL TX5 with the Monitor Audio Silver 100's (8" Woofer, 40Hz).
Nice informative Video Jay. I personally would pair this REL with my Dynaudio Evoke 20’s in piano gloss. The REL has the same finish. But more importantly I believe the two would be a match made in heaven. Also I’m using the Hegel H90 amp.
Hi Jay, I just purchased the HECO Aurora 700 tower speakers. Looking at adding a REL Subwoofer by next month. Is the T5X or T7X a better fit for a mid-sized space?
Thank Jay for the great review. I also like the fit and finish of the Rel subs and they look so premium in the room. I have Spotify on Volumio on a raspberry pi going into the Topping D70s then into the Musical Paradise MP-301 then into the Elac Debut Reference. The Rel T5/x is the sub I’ve had my eyes and would LOVE to have it complete the system. Thanks!
They look tacky. Bath handles, and rel logo everywhere. Look very American and kisch
Thanks for the review. I just recently discovered your UA-cam page and have had a chance to listen to a few of your reviews and videos. I really appreciate both of your viewpoints/thoughts given you each have some different tastes in what you are looking for. Anyway, I would pair the REL T5x with my wharfedale evo 4.1s
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.
Very well explained , thanks
Great video, and you’ve got me lusting over the new TX line. I’d pair it with the Tekton Lore. Just think about all those fast, paper cone woofers in action 😉. 🥂
Thanks for the review. I would love to try this sub.
Would you recommend these REL subs over a SVS 3000micro for a 2.1 music setup or for light use in a living room 5.1 surround system?
Tx7 for music, HT1205 for movies and music. Look up GR Research and see the quality (or lack) of the components used in SVS which explains why they are muddy compared to a REL. But, if you want bass that rattles your home, go SVS... if you want quality, REL.
Hi Jay, I have a Hegel H120 and paired with Vienna Acoutics Hayden standmount speakers. The speakers are front ported and the bass does not go deep enough for my preference. I am planning to add a sub in my system or buy another pair of speakers with deeper punchy bass like Dynaudio. This REL T/5X will certainly blend in with my system.
Grasshoppers, I have B&W 802D2 with pair of REL Strata 3 (original owner and still working great). I love the Stratas as it’s acoustic design and is fast. If I were to replace the Startas will the new T9x be better than the Stratas or do I have to go up to S/510 or S/812? I am mostly 2 channel guy with occasional film.
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
Love the channel. Was already a subscriber. I need this sub! I’ve obsessively built copies of a rare Western Electric speaker (757a) and while they have a sublime midrange, they don’t have a lot of bass so a sub is needed. The REL T5X seems to have the fast and agile bass would pair well with these speakers.
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
A newer audiophile here. I have some Hersey IV's which i absolutely love but are a bit thin down low (especially in my room). Looking for a quality, fast, musical sub and REL has absolutely been on my short list. Would love a T5X for my system!
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!😁
Thanks for the video. Being a Jay Soulsik Patreon, I know what a REL sub can bring to music listening. Just wish I could afford one :)
I am looking for a subwoofer for my Falcon LS3/5a Gold Badge. Due to the notorious mid-bass hump of the LS3/5a, integration is rather difficult. I am listening nearfield (1-1.2m) and at low-mid sound levels. My room is around 15sqm. The subs I have in mind are either one T5x or two Tzero. Or alternatively one SVS 3000 micro, because it has that flexible app, that may offer an easier integration than the REL. I am all in about quality, not quantity of the bass. Thoughts about what I should choose?
I'd pair the T/5x with my Kef LS50s. Rel hands down makes the best looking subs on the market.
