Fit and finish is 1st class, Setup was quite easy, and performance is stellar.

I ended up getting two of the REL T/5is to pair with my Dynaudio Focus 140s and the Primaluna DiaLogue One integrated amp. The RELs are a seamless addition to the system that feels more like expanding my speakers than adding in a separate set of subs, and having them in stereo adds a nice pressure to the room.

Recently added a pair of these subs to complement my Kef R3s in my office setup, and very impressed with them so far. They integrated very well and don't call attention to themselves, but added that missing low-end, which is exactly what I was looking for. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality, but reasonably priced sub that is focused more on integration than high output.

I would definitely buy again. Powerful when it needs it, but not overpowering. Just added richness and fullness to the music. It is set up with a musical fidelity M2Si integrated amp and some Focal Chorus 605s. The combination is pretty outstanding. I really feel like I ended up with my wealthy uncle’s set up, not my own value set up. Everything is musical and perfectly balanced. Occasionally a particular song comes on and I am nearly blown away by how much the Rel is able to add. The set up is slightly more complex than a regular sub, but it probably took me 10 minutes more. I want to spend an hour or two fine tuning the positioning, but if you start with where you think it ought to be, you are probably right. Turns out I was after I followed their steps and ended up back where I started. Great sub, the only problem is. . . When can I get one for the tv room?

I recently purchased a pair of T/5is to pair with my Focal 948s and McIntosh gear (2 channel only). Now I get the low end I was missing, especially at lower volumes, which makes my wife much happier. Now that placement is dialed in they blend seamlessly.

Mates well with my Harbeth P3ESR speakers. Set the crossover low and volume fairly low as well, and the Harbeths keep their sonic character but with a few more welcome notes at the bottom of the scale. In my small living room the REL gives me P3ESRs that go down to a solid E1.

How do they get that much sound out of this small cabinet? The Rel's are beautiful , Very well built , exceptional sound and I just cant stop looking at them. I bought a 2nd t5i and I am happy
