Hi guys I actually own a single Rel HT 1205. Let me tell you that Rel is very detailed and refined compared to SVS pb 1000 i used to own. Ok pb 1000 did go lower (19hz) and made us feel the scenes below 21 hz, but thats the only praise i can honestly give it. Other than that, compared to the Rel SVS was boomy and one note, for example there was a night club scene with loud music and i could not work out the conversetion that was being had, but once i changed to the REL the same scene was so much cleaner (still loud) but i could hear and understand the speech going on in the club scene. Not just only that, but in so many aspects of all movies i watch i smile and realised i made the right choice. Guys trust me, just to feel some parts ( not many ) in certain movies you really dont wanna spoil the rest of the movie with boomy one not bass. You shoul enjoy all parts of a movie with a subwoofer not just some parts. Also Rel has been making only subwoofers for years, dont you think they now how to make ported subwoofers for movies, there is a reason why they dont go down that root, and that is because they put QUALİTY, DETAIL and SPEED of sound first.

@@vongdong10 Hi, if you scroll down you will see that some one else is having the same issue but with the pb 4000 this time (3-4 times more expensive than the ht 1205). That is the nature of ported subwoofers. They allways say with a subwoofer you cant have the best of both worlds, in other words you cant get that amazing feel below 19hz and have a very quality detailed fast, tight bass at the same time. Rel S series (particularly S812) gets very close to best of both worlds with its 12 inch active forward firing and 12 inch passive down firing woofers, with amazing sound quality.

Techno, out of all the reviews I've seen yours is the most accurate. I set up my dual Predators last night. I'm thinking these would be super tight/articulate but would have less low bass than my PSA 15S's. I set them to 12 o'clock and started listening. I was completely wrong, they are fast and articulate but WOW they have alot of deep bass authority, way more than my PSA's. These things kick like a horse. I've since ended up turning them down to the 9-10 o'clock range. If I had to explain the sound of these based on subs I've heard, I'd say they sound like SVS end Rythmik mixed. They have the low bass authority of SVS, or maybe even more which is just crazy(I've owned SB16's) but at the same time they sound tight like a Rythmik. When you said these things shook your room more than most subs you heard I honestly thought it was BS based on the beasty subs you've had but after hearing my Predators you are completely right. I figured I'd be impressed by the tightness of these, which I am but I'm completely blown away by how much power these have down low and you're right when you say the house would break before the subs.

Looks like Anthem room correction has improved a lot since I tried it about ten years ago. Back then it was a piece of crap but they did at least make some changes based on my complaints or at least I was told they did. I never tired it again to verify. I have an AVM60 for my new theater build but I've never even opened the box containing the ACR. Based on what I see in your video I might consider checking it out but more likely I'll stick to manual corrections with the miniDSP using ARTA and Earthworks microphones. Maybe once it's all dialed in manually I'll try running the ACR just to see what it does.

Those hdmi inputs at the back of av receivers are all the same. The names are given so you know what to diconnect later on if you wish to.

Each input has to be separately tweaked to get the desired sound, meaning when you change to blu-ray input you need to go to the sound settings and speaker settings of the receiver and see what needs changing, if you still getting nothing then your av receiver might be faulty.

Hi Dan! Yes I still have them and they are great! I just had a “remote calibration” done on my system snd they got these subs to hit 15 Hz and blend perfectly to my other speakers! I’m so excited now, I feel like I have to rewatch so many movies!!

@@TechnoDad the new Denon has the tunning calibration with the four sub outputs, the green zone that gives a good indication for the room with the mic. You used that also and leave it that way? Or do you still bump up the backpanel to a higher output or leave it in the green zone and bump it up in de denon? Comparing with other people is sometimes hard too find out when the hobby is not spread out the family or friends for a lot of folks.

The subs are not working out of phase. They're in phase, but they appear to be out of phase because your camera is positioned such that one woofer is slightly further away than the other, it is looking down slightly at the stack, so the frame rate on the camera freezes the motion out of phase. If you were to lower the camera and position it exactly equi-distant from the center of both woofers, you will see they are working in perfect unison. Or you can shoot the video at a high enough frame, rate and you will see they are in phase.

Hi Channa. Thanks so much for your follow up on the Rels. I am actually strongly considering replacing my two Svs Pb 4000s with two 1508’s. to be honest I find the 4000’s a little one notey. I am hoping the Rels are going to offer more articulation. What do u think. I really value your opinion.
