REL - R-305 SUB-BASS SYSTEM

The R-305 Is Perhaps The Finest Small Woofer REL Has Ever Made

The R-305 offers absolutely stunning speed, power and low frequency extension in a compact, elegant and reasonably priced package.  The R-305 integrates seamlessly with any speaker, large or small and greatly improves tonal balance & texture, sound stage dimensions and three dimensionality.  Despite its relatively small size, the R-305 is capable of deep rolling bass, with fantastic growl and sustained low frequency notes, acting as if it was a much larger woofer. 

What makes this little powerhouse our most recommended and best selling REL is its uncanny ability to convey the physical sensation of listening to real instruments. The R-305’s speed, presence and tremendous reach into the lower octaves allow the system to transcend its capabilities and become more physical, more palpable and more real.  This sonic magic has made REL Sub-Bass systems revered the world over; what makes the R-305 such an incredible value is that until now RELs that could perform this feat have never been this inexpensive, compact or elegant.

The R-305 is surprisingly civilized; apartment dwellers and condo owners need not fear their neighbors.  Unlike most powerful compact subwoofer designs, the R-305 is a true REL and does not create the flatulent, fluttering, wallowing bass which resonates through thin walls and irritates the neighbors. 

R-305 vs R-205
On paper, there doesn't appear to be much difference between the R-305 and the R-205, their specs are nearly identical.  However, REL has never been a company to rely on specs to distinguish their models.  Leaving aside the relatively minor difference in their physical size, there are two major differences, amplifier power and sub-bass driver.  The sub-bass driver used in the R-305 has a larger motor structure and magnet assembly mounted to a more rigid cast basket frame.  This souped-up woofer accounts for most of the 11Lb difference in the weights of the two. Combined with a 50% increase in power, the R-305 offers greater speed, control and power.

A word on finishes, the Cherry and Rosenut finishes are real-wood veneers, stained to a consistent and gloriously rich glow.  The Gloss Black finish is hand polished for a deep shine.
