Hmmm, thinking of getting one of these in the next few days or so, thing is I have 2x Rel HT1205 at the mo and am wanting a bit more bottom end/better integration with my monitoring set up(this is extensive and can range from a set of AVI ADM 9.1t(my personal faves) to a set of Adam A7x and even mix it up with my least expensive Mission 760ise or a set of Castle Chester/Howard(4x driver quarter wave transmission line floor standers), SD acoustics SD1 and lot of others in between, I like to fix and recondition speakers and have so many close at hand.
Anyway I am looking at the 18s to drop into my main monitoring/listening rig, I am also going to most likely get some Dynaudio BM5 mk3/BM6 to add to my AVI/Adam monitoring set up.
My questions are,
Is it going to live up to two HT1205's for depth, scale and volume, I have them stacked on top of one another in the corner of my room and the really do kick ass, I would say lows are 22hz and volume at 110dbs.
Will the Dynaudio really get to the stated 16hz?
Will it go loud, will it loud be enough for the BM5 mk3's which will hit 118db per pair.
Have heard in this thread that it will go just as deep as a Rel carbon special, that is a might sub, it is also a very expensive sub, top of the rel line up.
My other option in this price bracket is the Rel 1508(used) or the 1510(new), both claim to hit 20hz.
As an outlier different choice the BK Monolith Plus, half the price of the rel or the Dynaudio so the obvious answer is two of them.
