For the cost, size, and power of this sub it is punching well above its weight class. I have it paired with some Sonus Faber Lumina 5 towers and it blends seamlessly and effortlessly. For only an 8 inch sub with 125 watts it shakes my living room more than any other sub I have had in the space. It also pulls double duty, being extremely smooth for music and very punchy and low for movies. 10/10 would recommend this sub!

All I can say about this sub is wow. I have a 2 channel system that I mostly listen to vinyls on. I wasn't lacking bass, but I wanted to fill in the soundscape.
This little sub has far exceeded all my expectations. Its small, but feels like its built like a tank. If I wanted to shake the dishes in my kitchen i totally could, so it has plenty of power. It really made my music come to life. Great job REL! Im a believer!

Rel subwoofers are really better categorized as woofers. That being said, it sounds very good. The rca input is way cleaner than the lfe input. Maybe a little overpriced, maybe not. Either way, definitely sounds good in 2 channel stereo.

Awesome subwoofer for small rooms. Using in a stereo configuration and the sound become even better

This is an incredible sub for music listening. Plenty of low bass extension and plenty of punch to give the impression of drums and anything it is replicating. Tight and musical. I love my REL!

I was very sceptacle about buying this subwoofer but I must say, it really blew me away. Great sound and love the glossy piano look. You will not be dissapointed. Kudos to REL.

This Sub came highly recommended by my AV Consultant at Best Buy to go with my B&W speakers. I am definitely loving this and drives great Bass.

It did not preform. I don't know if I just got a bad one or what, but it would not produce much sound with out turning it almost completely up. I wish my experience would have been different. I had heard some many great things about your subs. I will try again.

Recently, I reached out to REL customer service for assistance repairing my T5/x. Getting a response took four business days and required calling internationally to the UK to get someone to respond.
The response from Rachel/US Customer Service was kurt, indifferent and, frankly, arrogant. The cost to repair my T/5 amp repair is $340 which includes labor, parts and return shipping. This is for a subwoofer made in China and at an expense of half what purchasing a new sub would cost.
Upon asking for some alternatives to spending so much on a repair (i.e. offering some loyalty discount on a new sub or other considerations), both the UK and US sales & service team went completely silent.
It appears REL the end consumer is no longer the customer, rather the authorized dealers have taken center stage; which in a world of commoditized electronics makes no sense if your goal is long-term growth.
I am thankful for gaining the true understanding of the REL brand. I have no idea why REL would want to gouge a loyal customer for repairs or blow off a genuine request for help.
REL's lack of response to my service request appeared indifferent and arrogant; which is far from ideal for brand reputation, unless that is the goal?
No one won in this situation. REL has lost a customer; plus another purchase from a would-be customer who, upon hearing my story, cancelled their Best Buy order.
I need to purchase another sub and I'll be sure to let the Best Buy Magnolia manager know about my experience.

This sub adds depth to your music. It integrates very well to your main speakers. Fast accurate and tonally rich. It never calls to itself. Amazing sub for the money.
