I agree with your setup. This discussion really highlights some of the problems associated with having a single HT/Audiophile system. The best is probably to have two dedicated systems.BTW, I have the REL Q150E. For me, this was the best compromise for straddling the line between HT and Audio. It also is somewhat affordable and small. The only thing I could say I would want additionally would be a seperate cutoff control for the low level input and that it would be downward firing (aesthetically more pleasing look to me). But these are minor points.
I am *very* interested in hearing/seeing the new MJ Acoustics sub - which I believe has mimicked the REL input scheme and is downward firing to below 15Hz.
Follow Ups:
CD,The Rel I have is the Storm III. This is a down firing sub from their ST series. All the subs in this series are down firing. The Storm is rated down to 16hz. The next one up is the Stadium it is rated down to 12hz. After that comes the Stentor rated down to 11hz. Lastly with a 500W amp and 2 long throw 10" drivers is the Studio. This baby is rated down to 9hz. All of their subs have the ability to be tuned in for music ahd HT with both high and low level connections. They are not cheap but they are very well built with high quality parts.
Yep. I was eyeing the Strata III, but it was out of my budget for now. Similar to the MJ Acoustics Ref I. For their size (12" cubes), the Q150E and Q200E are very impressive and very high quality.
