I’d like to give the new REL subs a go, but I’m unfamiliar with pipe organ music.
What recommendations do you have for demo-quality, house-rumbling pipes tracks… available on Roon?
Thanks

Will do. Thanks!
Two from the earlier days of digital and two very current recordings. At the bottom is a fun, short video.

That Dorian CD was a great one. Should shake the walls with RELs.
Also try this, which is on Tidal.
Many enjoy Saint-Saëns Symphony 3, last movement, for showing off their system’s ability to reproduce organ and fill orchestra.

Though I don’t have a system with a subwoofer and can’t really attest to the deep bass output on this recording, I always recommend this excellently recorded cd of the largest organ my great great great great great grandfather David Tannenberg built.
This is good tester for subs’ super low end (< 30Hz) representation of pipe organ (track “Julsang”). it does not sound loud, but you can feel waves of pressure coming at you.
If I want to impress people with my sub (doesn’t happen very often) I play the Saint Saens 3. On a more subtle note I find a sub makes plucked double bass sound more realistic. No Wow factor, but possibly more relevant for general listening.
