Subwoofers

Meant to specify i am talking about quad esl-63 speakers in my above post.

Nice post, Montaldo. I agree with your perceptions.
Vandersteen subs, coupled with the m5-hp crossovers, make for a seamless integration.

I've been using the Rythmik L12 sub for about a week now and so far I find it very close to what I liked about my Rel.  Although this doesn't have the neutrik connects like the Rel - a very easy hookup - it integrated into my system easily enough. 

Im still tweaking the crossover point and playing with the positioning, but this is a very well made sub, especially for $539 - you can spend the same at a big box store and get far less for your dough. 

Imight get the sweet spot this week
