I moved from a pair of S/510 to Carbon Special and the difference is night and day! It worths every penny

I appreciated your review. You showed what that extra $1K can give you, which the specs did not disclose..

Could you please give a detailed comparison between the Rel Carbon and the Arendal 1723 1V?

Hi, I'm going to get two Carbons in to review later this year/ early next year. At that point I will provide a lot more detail.

Cool review thanks. I have the 812 with some active atc scm50a. Had it for 6 months. Very good and very happy and can keep up with the excellent atc's.i fancied the carbon special but couldn't find second hand one but this review has convinced me i should have a listen. The atc's are excellent speakers and can work better with better sub's. I 'll give it a try. Interestingly i was considering the arendal line of subs as they looked excellent design quality and value but went with the 812. Sounds like it could have been a good option between the 812 and carbon special for way less?

If I'm honest the arendal 1723 1v out performs the rel s812 but the arendals are significantly bigger.. if your not worried about size then yeah I would go for the arendals

If I was buying new subs ... I might directly go for the Carbons. But to replace my current 2 S/510s with Carbons ... not going to spend that kind of money.

Ii think 2 510's or any two quality subs will be a tough match for a single carbon.

Trust me when I say the Carbons are a completely different animal compared to the S/510Ss or the S/812s. I own 2 Carbons and they never cease to amaze me.

I can guarantee before even watching this vid that the carbon special will be preferred even tho there is precious little diff between the two. I've heard them both.

Can you tell me how the 1723 2v vs carbon?
@platinumyaadmusic64104 ай бұрын
The 1723 2v is much more dynamic but the carbons are a more sophisticated bass and most likely blend with your speakers more.

How many clicks on the dail did you go on crossover and clicks for gain.
@platinumyaadmusic641011 ай бұрын
Hey Hawkmoon. I think the crossover was turned around 12 clicks and gain was just over halfway so running slightly warm.
@hawkmoon36911 ай бұрын
@platinumyaadmusic6410 I am using 2 s812 with focal sopra 2 so how many clicks on crossover would you recommend and gain.Thanks for reply
@platinumyaadmusic641011 ай бұрын
@hawkmoon369 . Hey, I want to start off by saying what a great pair of front speakers. Because they are so capable, I would be inclined to cross them over around 50hz and apply a suitable gain, just enough to notice your subs are missing when you switch them off.

I have two of the 812s with Sopra 3 and I'm super happy. They have more power than I could or would EVER use.🫣 They are tight, fast and go deep to 19htz, all the attributes for simless implementation in hi end stereo. My subs are only set from 30htz, so they don't overstep lower frequencies of my Sopras. I have them also connected at the same time to my Anthem 1140MRX surround amp and I'm very satisfied with them too. I truly highly recommend them. I can't imagine someone not being happy with 812s and for the extra $2K they could already buy a nice cables for their system or buy a room treatment, or a streamer, etc. You know.
