How low do the 202 monitors go? Asking because if they go down to, say, 40 or 50 hertz, then Rel becomes a serious consideration. However, you'd have to snag a used Strata or something similar at a killer price. Why Rel? Because they're designed to let the mains run full range and then fill in JUST the very bottom end. Crossover settings are typically quite low, like in the 20s. Mine is set at 27 hertz. Fabulous sub-bass units.

they "allegedly" go to 33hz. however i think mid to low 40's is likely. they are very quick and detailed so the sub will have its work cut out for it as far as integrating smoothly. the svs seem to have a fantastic recommendation as well as the rel. thanks for the input so far. oh, the drivers are aluminum if that helps. |
Rel units are known for being extremely fast and integrating seamlessly. An very, very well written consumer review of the Rel Strata III has been posted by Audiogon member Quadophile. |
