I’m looking forward to demoing these new amps, whenever that may be. As I sit here listening to my BHK 600’s propel my Vandersteen 7 Mk 2’s to absolutely riveting sound, my skepticism creeps in. I just don’t see how you can improve on the BHKs. It’ll be interesting for sure.

It’s true that the 400 has half the number of Class A watts as the 200 but twice the power/headroom. I think it is helpful to keep in mind that the BHK 600s, one of the best sounding amps we ever made runs at about half again as much as a 400. So, the class A watts are important up to a point, but…

I recall Chris B. making a comment that could be interpreted as him not feeling that high level feeding of a sub was all that critical. I imagined that it would have been fairly simple to include that ability on the wireless transmitting puck and I take its absence as a further indication that the d…

Having a choice of 2 SVS subs connected from the outputs of a preamp, or 1 REL connected via high-level. The REL with the high level connection wins, easily. When you go high level, you get the exact same system sound to the subs as you have with the main speakers. With that said, I also have an F12…

Too many variables to draw meaningful conclusions. SVS versus REL; high versus low input; two versus one; and possibly the most important, settings on the SVS versus REL-even if numbers the same for, for example, the crossover, the shape of that curve would almost certainly not be. And then, of cour…

You note “I would slso choose 1 F12 sub over 2 SVS subs”. I’m looking for the why behind this statement and perhaps where you rate the F12 with regard to the REL (which one) with with the high level connection wins, easily. When you go high level, you get the exact same system sound to the subs as y…

I have tried to digest the REL narrative on the advantage of feeding a sub with high end but I am unable to dissect the verbiage. Frankly, the company narrative of “exactly the same system sound” doesn’t click with me. What exactly are my amps doing to the signal (in addition to amplification) that …

Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere makes the same point about distortion vs. frequency response, which I think is one of the reasons his Class D amplifiers sound the way they do.

Have you listened to what John Hunter of REL has to say about connecting subs?
