Feelings when listening Rel ST Series subwoofers

Curious feeling, Artmaltman

Thank you.

Maybe someone has used two Stratas any time, or has listened to both of them?

Yes, that's a much better explanation that my feeble attempt. In my music system the Strata III disappears. It just supports the speakers seamlessly. But in my home theatre setup I expect to hear dinosaur stomps and cannon blasts with dramatic effect. That's why my wife calls it "rumble vision". The sub there needs to kick in and be noticed, as opposed to a delicate blending.

Enjoy,
Bob

You may also find that you prefer the non-ported Strata as opposed to the ported Storm. I felt the Strata was more accurate...it was close...but it seemed quicker and a bit more accurate head-to-head.

Troutki, your comment is quite interesting, since Storm is more expensive than Strata.

By the way, we should wait to listen to the new Strata 5 (www.rel.net)

When I purchased my Strata III, I was sitting in the store with the coin ready to buy it or the Storm. I listened head to head on the demo system, and found that the Strata better suited my tastes. The Storm goes a bit lower probably due to its porting, so it maybe a bit better for HT....i have never compared the two head-to-head for HT so I am just speculating.
