REL – Subwoofers – T5i ($749), T7i ($999)

The 8-inch T5i  design reduces the classic cubic sub to its bare essence. A single, high quality AlloyFibre™ composite driver and down firing orientation produces maximum coupling with the floor and eliminates the need for a grille. The T7i is balanced and delicate for a perfect blend; it can pound out exceptionally deep, tuneful bass that belies its size and plays louder than most will ever require.

REL – Subwoofers – T9i ($1249)

The T91 represents the most that REL can deliver, if sheer output alone is a primary requirement for your theater or music system buff. The combination of a lightweight, composite 10” driver coupled to a matching 10” T/i passive delivers speed, slam and attack when called upon but also is capable of tracing more delicate passages when necessary.
