With little time I have now, I tried Rel T9x woofer with Dannoys to see if I get anything I want. Not. I tried one T9x, summing both channels, positioned centrally between the Dannoys and fed from the B2 outputs. It produced a typical hifi on/off bass or rather sound. It was disconnected from the beautiful, musical bass of Dannoy's, adding some caricatural seismic rumblings. No increased space information, no LF "breathing", no reinforcement of the Grundton. Playing with the crossover point and the sub level did not change that. I think Romy observed something similar but with much more noble LF channel - disconnection from the Dannoys. The big question is: Is it the quality of Rel or a general Dannoy problem like Romy suggested? Does it make sense to try making own Scanspeak bass modules?
I need to admit that I am if huge fan of Scanspeak bads modules. However, since I was introduced to ampX 6 months ago I discovered completely new definition of base, and I did not listen it with the Scanspeaks. I would be very interesting to try but it is not currently in my plans as my corner horns along with my infinite baffle do all the time I need from Bass.
