A stereo pair of 212/SXs has transformed my system. Sean will steer you in the right direction. Learn as I have that Upscale Audio always exceeds expectations.

I am so happy that I attended REL day at Upscale audio to hear REL subwoofers live in different applications and different settings. I knew that I wanted to own one immediately and the 212/SX is the perfect model to fulfill my needs. The dimensions fit perfectly where I needed to put it and the performance is incredible! It is seamless with my main speakers in 2 channel listening and it delivers amazing low end for movies with my Home Theater applications. I HIGHLY recommend you to check out REL if you are searching for the perfect subwoofer and NO ONE does it better than Upscale Audio!

Hello USA, After watching Upscale/Rel review I was so impressed in March 2024, without trying I bought a new ex demo 212sx £3000 plus base line blue cable £299. This is the most effective upgrade I've ever done. It brings night club levels of beautiful bass to my hifi experience. Wow factor, truly jaw dropping. Listening to Trivium, Ramstein, Within Temptation, Queensryche, Metallica, Dream Theatre , Five finger Death Punch is such a massively hard hitting listening experience. Realistic chest punching room filling bass. Listen/watch to Guetta, Daft Punk etc the bass is just incredible. My simple system is all ex demo bought back in 2008. Musical fidelity A308 cd, A308 integrated, A308 power amp all JS Audio upgraded in 2019, jamo concert D870, isotek titan and nordost/clearer audio cable. Cheers England (UK)

The REL subs are still in the box -- I have yet to unbox them. I'm currently in the process of building my audio system, and do not have all the components yet.

Great addition to my system. After getting them dialed in made a great impact on all music tried, however really improves piano and all larger acoustical instruments like double bass, cello and guitar. If you are considering a major upgrade in speakers you owe it to yourself to see how good your current speakers can sound with really good subs. This is my first experience with subs and the help of Clay at REL and Kat at Upscale Audio was indispensable. Had a very long phone conversation with Clay and several long detailed discussions via email about subs in general and strengths of each model. Decided to go with a pair of 212/SX as best upside potential. After getting them in really impressed with the fit and finish and even the packaging is a cut above. I am in my 60"s and due to the superb packing was able to setup these 125 pound subs by myself. I found the material on the REL website very helpful and the PS Audio loudspeaker setup guide and disc was also very helpful in getting them dialed in. The results are well worth the effort to get the subs properly placed and adjusted. Cannot say enough good thing about REL or Upscale Audio. I have made several other large upgrades with them over the last 15 months or so and each has been great.
