Hi,

I've recently been given a choice of 3 subs:

1. REL acoustics Quake
2. MJ Acoustics Pro 50 MkII
3. Quad L-ite

All of them are being offered for £300, including the Quad. Question is, which should I go for?

My system: Rotel RA-05, Tannoy Mercury F1 Custom speakers

I've got a smallish room, but I'll definitely be moving to a bigger pad soon, so I suppose size doesn't quite matter at the moment.

Thanks!

Out of those 3, the MJ. The Quad is tempting but doesn't really go low enough.

Re: Which Sub?

Cheers for the reply! I'll probably get it over this weekend. Like you said, the Quad does sound very tempting, from £550 to £300, that's quite a bargain.

BTW Andrew, I'm a big fan of your work both on the Gramophone and on What HiFi!
