Great review! Very articulate and to the point. These types of reviews are really valuable, especially as someone who spends hours and hours researching.

Thanks for the video, considering adding these to my setup for home theater usage as well.

This is great! A carbon special is on route to me as I watch this vid! Looking to acquire a second one asap.

nice job guys. LOVE that you both bought a pair of 812s. That was my intent. But in conference with REL they said that due to my vaulted ceilings a 212/SX was required. WOW. I now understand what it means to have a room "pressurized".

[divertiti]

Well done lads, enjoyed the conversation, thinking getting a pair of carbon specials

YES YOU ARE RIGHT THESE ARE THE BEST AT THIS POINT / I ALSO HAVE A PAIR BUT I HAVE THE REL S/510 PLENTY OF POWER AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY SYSTEM. NICE VIDEO GUYS!!!

I just received a pair of T7i subs yesterday. They are beautiful, but I wonder if they would look better, from the front, if the grill was circular and only covered the driver. That way, the nice piano black finish would be visible from the front.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to receiving the KEF LS50 Meta speakers I ordered (which are currently on backorder), so I can get everything hooked up and give it a listen.

Which model sub is that to the left of the guy in the white cap?

[victorfeliciano]

HAY GUYS, question what are your thought on wireless airship or even their baseline cable? / or is there a better solution, thanks!!!!

[HermesTrismegistes]

I have an svs sb4000, and I'm getting rid of it and getting an s812. I really want the carbon special but that's almost like giving up my right nut. Lol. Ouch!😂

[hawkmoon]

Great video I am thinking of adding the s/812 to my system focal sopra 2 naim 300dr like to know your thoughts it's a 2 channel listening setup.

Just so you know, REL was founded in Bridgend, (pronounced Bridge end), in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, not England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[RigVader]

You guys definitely drank the Rel Kool-Aid! Finding it hard not to be a fan boy myself TBH 😀

[poochiepop]

Forget to subwoofers. Where you get those shorts from. 😂

[snomofilms]

Was just waiting see when the guy on the left would eat the guy on the right. So disappointed.

If you are using a subwoofer you are not a true audio person it’s two speakers and a preamp and amps or receiver or amp and a music source like a turn table I’ve got subwoofers in my speakers because I have the right equipment it will drowned out any subwoofer ever made period
