REL stadium II vs. stadium III

As a Stadium II owner I would concur with Dodgealum. The difference in power could conceivably be noteable in a very large room but I too don't even come close to pushing it near its maximum. I tend to keep it "subtly introduced" at barely 1/4 power (if that) and it integrates beautifully. If there are any other noteable improvements you can let your wallet decide but I would feel confident you'd be very happy with the 2 and the $$ you save. I'm using it with Silverline Sonata 2's and it's somewhat overkill but I love it. Just my 2 cents. Happy lissnin.

I generally agree with Dodgealum and Lissnr, however my suggestion would depend upon the size of your room and whether or not you plan to purchase two REL Storm III woofers or one REL Stadium II or III.

Your listening room configuration also plays a part in your decision. It is difficult to make a recommendation without knowing more about your room dynamics.

For what it is worth, I am also looking at the Rel Stadium III to help out my Revel Gems. I posed the II vs III question directly to Rel and they said:

"The Stadium III has more power, an upgraded driver to handle the extra power, redesigned electronics using later technology, individual gain controls for low and high level inputs, more accurate roll off (filter) which has twenty four accurate semi tone steps. Altogether a better model."

So, there you have it! Suggetions on what to marry my Gems with are much appreciated.
