REL Acoustics
Subwoofers for music lovers — bass you feel in the room, not just in film explosions.
Why we stock REL
Most people think subwoofers are for home cinema. REL build subwoofers for music — and once you’ve heard a system with one properly integrated, it’s very hard to go back. Using their high-level connection, a REL doesn’t just add bass; it underpins your main speakers with depth, texture and scale, so the whole system sounds bigger, more relaxed and more real. And yes, film night benefits enormously too.
The trick is integration: the right model for your speakers and room, positioned and tuned correctly. That’s exactly the sort of installation work we do every week.

A word from Duncan
My favourite REL demo is simple: I play a track with the subwoofer on, then switch it off. Nobody misses the boom — what they miss is the sense of space and ease that just vanished. It’s the most persuasive thirty seconds in hi-fi. Come in and I’ll show you.
— Duncan Lewis, Hi-Fi Specialist & Founder
