This is my first experience with the 812. I can say that I fully appreciate the sound & adjustability of this subwoofer. I had an idea that it was of high quality construction & excellent fit / finish. Upon opening the box I was thrilled to find out that the looks & quality were exactly what I had hoped for. A true piece of equipment & not a box with a speaker thrown in. I am using this to compliment a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 500s I purchased recently at Upscale & is hooked to a Marantz SR8015. My use & desire is strictly music. This was a great addition !

Shipped quickly. Packed securely. Setup was not complicated. It is blending well with my setup using the high level connection. I'm still making micro adjustments to the sub's position in the room. Primary use is for classical (including organ) and also jazz music. It's quite satisfyjng to hear the bottom end of the Saint Saens Symphony No. 3. That's what I wanted. The finishing of the sub is beautiful, as well.

Perfect for my home theater using main L/R pre-outs from the Audio/Video receiver for my PrimaLuna Evo 400 Integrated amp. The REL connection taps the L/R main speaker posts on the PrimaLuna - and for music I stream directly into the Tube Amp from a Node 2i. REL adds that tight low end that they are noted for. Then, the LFI from the Receiver connects to the REL directly. I put the PrimaLuna on HT bypass, and now movies are simply more powerful - thunderous! With my 80" LED TV I may never go to the theater again!!!

I ordered a single Rel s812 and fell in love with them that I will be ordering a second as soon as I'm back from vacation! I finally replaced a 10" B and W and sub that could barely pressurize a fish tank. I can't wait for adding a second row to my pair of 812's! Money well spent.

Set up is very important to get the performance in your room. using a stereo pair in line with main speakers.
