Dual mono with REL Subwoofer

[marcor]

For what it worth, I have a G1 MK II connected to my Devialet Expert Pro 250 to complement my SF Amati Futura. The range of the Futura is down to 25Hz, the REL is connected via HL cables and is set to start the range at 26Hz down to 15Hz. The result is amazing.  Bass are define, sharp and fast, no comparison with any other Sub I heard. To the point that is a bit of a show stealer. I had people coming to check my system and forgetting Devialet, SF, and all the rest and pretty much only commenting on the incredible quality and precision of the bass, such is a stark difference of what you usually hear.
Definitely check it out.

Thanks for sharing., I can't afford that G1.. not sure how much different between the S5 SHO and G1, have you heard a S5 SHO and compared them?

Hi Laura,

no I haven't had a chance to compare the S5 but I did compare to the G2 (10 Inches) as the distributor had one in house and he was so nice to let him take it home for a week.  I did some extensive testing, (for the cost I really wanted to make sure this was the right purchase) going from Classical music to Electronic (daft Punk on this beast are just another thing). Old recording and new recording. The sound was great but then the 12" was definitively going the extra step. 
What I found fascinating is taking away the grille and check the speed the carbon fibre cone is moving. You can put the hand in front of the cone without touching it and feel the air getting displaced. 
I know that the price is scary, and is quite imposing in size (convincing the wife that at the end of the day is a great side table was a challenge in itself) but I have to say this, after the Devialet and the SF, has been the biggest step up I ever experienced. If you have a chance see if you can test it and compare with the S5 I would be curious to hear your thoughts.
