REL now is making a cute wooden subwoofer. A vintage sounding unit, it doesn't have quite the tightness, depth of bass and immediacy of something like the REL S510. 

Also unlike the T series of subwoofers in the REL range, it doesn't have the grippy, fullsome class A/B amplifier.

But what a lovely subwoofer for a set of bookshelf speakers! It's a soft sound that is different to other REL subs but altogether is more emotional where other RELs might feel a little colder.

It sounds so much better than the awful wooly subs that populate the sub $1000k space, that's for sure.

And what a pretty little thing as well. It has a furniture grade, mid century finish that is very smart yet equally homely.

We think this will be a popular unit!

I've personally had Koss Porta Pro Headphones for a number of years now and I added a pair of the Koss Porta Pro wireless version to the stable after going through a couple of pairs of Earbuds that were incompatible with me...I'm still not sure whether that's because I get unusually sweaty ears or tiny ears or a combination of both but they would never stay in my ears.

These are super comfortable though and sound massively better than the Earbuds. The Bluetooth receiver does jiggle a little but that's an easy trade-off for me for not having to worry about an Earbud falling out of my ear onto the pavement.

I have a confession to make to the HiFi world, I don't like Subwoofers! Well I don't like most Subwoofers. That sound of boomy over exaggerated bass masks all the good HiFi stuff like articulation detail, 3-dimensionality, big wide soundstage. Doing Subwoofers badly will turn your system into a flobby doof doof sound instead of adding bass in a cohesive way that'll fill out the mid range as well as the bass. Don't get me wrong, there are people who love that sort of sound (people who work at Carlton Audio Visual included!) and for them, we have other Subwoofers. For those, however, who are critical music listeners, who prefer detail and accuracy, consistency and finese, there's REL Subwoofers.

Introducing the 212/SX, 1000W of goodness with a rear firing, down firing and two active 12" front firing. Upgraded with carbon fibre blades behind the drivers to stiffen yet in doing so adding nominal weight to the drivers.

This means more control, faster, even more agile and extended low bass.

The flagship of the Esseci Design magnetic levitation boards. To increase the isolation on your HiFi equipment can drastically improve the sound and performance of your HiFi. Afterall, much of the design of HiFi is concerned with just that. And expensive and sensitive pieces of HiFi equipment go to extremes to get this right. Most obviously in the Turntable market.

This is a nifty way of getting more isolation into your system for your existing gear. 

And the magnetics and floating board is seriously cool!

Magnetic levitation Isolation board.

A magnetically levitating isolation board perfect for keeping your turntable on and away from any sort of environmental vibrations. But it can also be used for other HiFi equipment. CD players, ampflifiers and other electronics will also greatly benefit from a unit like this.

Good isolation of a turntable performs wonders with the sound of a turntable. It's what very expensive turntables use to get the best performance out of their units. But rather than going out and buying a whole new deck, think about upgrading your isolation platform.

And what's cooler than magnetic levitation to do that?!

We have our Rega Planar 10 sitting on top of it, at the moment sounding tight and expressive.

REL's completely rebuilt S series Subwoofer. With a 10" active driver and a 12" passive driver. The 10" driver has been redesigned and can handle the added power of the new amplifiers.

The REL engineers were worried that the added pressure of all the extra power from the amplifiers would deform the cone under load. They've added extra carbon fibre behind the cone to stabilise the structure and to dampen it reducing distortions.

Because of these new drivers and amplifier modules, this little guy is actually capable of producing lower frequencies than its predecessor, the S/3 SHO and outperforms the S/5 SHO in terms of dynamics, volume and intensity!

It also has this cool feature of daisy chaining subwoofers together so you can stack as many as you'd like on top of themselves...ultimate subwoofer upgrade capabilities!!

Sometimes in this industry companies will bring out a new model or range and you get the sense that the main purpose for said range is to put in some cost cutting measures in the components, dress it up in a new faceplate and charge more...needless to say we steer clear of such brands...

REL's new S series is the antithesis of that. In fact they've packed so much more value into these Subs we just couldn't wait to get our hands on them. More power (800 Watts) with new amplification modules, better damped and faster drivers, options to stack and daisy chain your Subs to build the ultimate Sub tower....who wouldn't want that...!

They've also built on their incredible sense of musicality and 'ear to detail' with filters that ensure the superior musical reproduction of the higher frequencies. Where the older S series faltered a little, if anywhere, was in its Home Theatre capabilities. This new version has dealt with that impeccably...more dynamics and higher intensity mean when something blows up on screen, you're gonna feel that rumble...
