BEST SUB FOR MUSIC

If you're planning to have your REL do home theater AND music, then get the newer version (III); the connection options are much more flexible. Otherwise, you'll find yourself swapping cables back and forth at the sub end between music and HT. I'd go with the Stadium III, since that's what I have. A big step up from the original Storm.

I have to agree with the above posts and repeat dbw1 great words. Rel! Rel! Rel! If it wasnt for Rel I wouldnt have a subwoofer. I was so pleased with mine that I went out and bought a second one.

There are many reasons for their superioty. First, and most importantly to me, is their intergration. They intergrate so well with your original system that it will sound like the bass is coming form your speakers. Its the only sub I have ever heard that I thought was truly non directional.

Then there is the quality. Top notch. Fast, punchy and not boomy. The bass is so clear that it will actaully increase imaging and stereo seperation. You will hear detail and nuences never heard before and you will feel an uncontrollable urge to play all you old favorite cd's.

I have found that even for movies nothing is better. It may not move as much air as some of the foward firing subs but the added realism of detail makes it so much more involving.

A Rel is something that will stay in your system for a long long time to come. When you do upgrade it will only ever be for a better Rel.
