Hello all , Hey now I'm considering swapping out my SPL1200R velodyne in favor of an REL Storm5 , A couple of obvious things to consider are , 1. the velo is a past winner of the EISA sub of the year , 2. its a 2008 model 3. it has a 1000 watt amp with a 12" driver and hits 18 hz as opposed to the REL which is a 2004-5 model witha 200watt dc mosfet amp with a 10" driver. Both are sealed and both are remote controlled.
Now to be honest with you all , back in the day I had the REL and also had the PV1 from B&W at the same time and I loved the REL, It went lower and also loaded the room like nothing I had heard before and can say that I have not since come across a sub system that works in the way the REL's do,Creamed the PV1 by yards!
So I have heard people and some reviews give the Storm bad raps! but I am a bit bemused , I have seen that they do these tests with the sub out into the floor and not loaded as requested for best results, blah blah blah....so im interested in what you guys think.The SPL1200r is a good unit but i found the REL to be good also for movies and especially music in the way it loaded or should i say prressureized the room!.I imagine the velo will have a little more kick and the REL a smoother compliment to the bottom end while still able to growl , just not as loud as the velo , but for a listening range thats not concert level i think the REL would be fantastic.Please comment if you have experiences with REL's and velo's
Please...your thoughts or experiences please , opinion away guys ,3 days till decision time.
regards
