THE REL CLASSIC 99, MORE INFO at REL: rel.net/shop/powered-subwoofers/classic/classic-99/
Today I share my thoughts on the new REL Classic 99 Subwoofer. Last year I reviewed the Classic 98 but the 99 is larger, stronger, faster, deeper and well, better. The 12" down firing diver here does remarkable things with the built in 500 Watt Class D amp. I share all of my thoughts on how to improve your system with this subwoofer!
Enjoy!

    I have got mine. It sounds warm and soft, I like it. However, when I measured the frequency response on different levels this DAC left me puzzled. Roll off on high frequencies? 0 dB = 0 dB, -10 dB = -8 dB and -20 dB = -17.5 dB ??? I have never seen any DAC measure like that. Thoughts?

    One advantage of a Subwoofer and standmount speaker is you csn optimise the best place in a room for the bass.. Conversely , you can't do that with a floorstander. You are stuck with the Bass Driver being below the tweeter, and sometimes depending on your room, that isn't the ideal location for it.

    • @mitchellburns92
      @mitchellburns92 21 годину тому

      Are you saying some rooms may require to have the hight of the subwoofer at the same height of the speakers tweeter? Rel specifically design the feet of their subs to the millimeter for SQ, why then raise the subwoofer? Keep the tweeter at ear level and sub positioned on the floor where it blends.

    • @bryanwilliams3665
      @bryanwilliams3665 21 годину тому

      @@mitchellburns92 Thats exactly right . (what REL are doing) Yet in a floorstanding or standmount speaker, you don't have that luxury.. The Bass driver is stuck with the tweeter in a cabinet . There is zero flexibility in their relationship to each other distance wise. .In my large standmounts, the woofer is some 600mm or so off the ground which is normal.That can't be changed....Completely different setup to a standalone subwoofer.

    Accurate and informative review. Thank you. I love Markaudio drivers. The amazing Pearl Sibelius are sadly out of my price range BUT i do have the 6.5 inch, Markaudio MOAP 11 single drivers in a pair of Frugal XL Horn cabinets (self-build kit) and every positive comment made in this review i can say is also true about my speakers which are 100% keepers. Individual instruments and vocals have never sounded so real, coherent and detailed. Hope to listen to Sibelius speakers one fine day.

  • @michaelkaliski7651
    @michaelkaliski7651 5 днів тому

    With the new DSP integrated self powered amplified speakers you can tune the system to whatever your listening environment happens to be. The beauty of DSP is that you can adjust the sound to exactly match what you want to hear and set the system back to flat response to judge any improvements. Perhaps the only relevant thing now is the size of the speaker cone because the laws of physics limit the lowest sound that can be reproduced with a given cone size. A woofer that is eight inches in diameter should go low enough for most listeners. Ten inches or more will start to move the floor and walls and may lead to room resonance issues apart from annoying the neighbours.

    Hola. I bought years ago a pair of Britannia 1 subwoofers from REL. Never looked back. They are the most natural sounding real subwoofers I ever heard and that included SVS, Velodynes and JL. They were the only front firing subwoofers from REL that I know off and where truly marvelous. For better in room response and to correct any dips or spikes in frequency respond I recommend placing the subs along the side walls facing your sitting position. Try it, you will be greatly rewarded with deeper bass and a smoother response. also find the -3db low frequency cut off of your main speaker and set the REL 10 hz higher for better integration (a couple of hz. higher or lower won’t hurt). Enjoy!
