Default EVPs under the REL sub....

Ordered a set of EVPs from Norm Varney's AV Roomservice and put them under my REL sub tonight.

WOW...

Same here. I actually have them under the symposium platform on which the REL sits - same reaction.

Man, I cannot believe the improvement putting the EVPs under the REL sub made.

They made the room notably quieter. This translates to notable improvement in transparency, detail, pitch and timbre accuracy, and resolution in the bass, mid-bass, lower mids, mids, and upper mids through the entire presentation.

This cartoon from Norm at A/V Roomservice depicts what they do quite well.

Funny coincidence it's going to be my next mod along with some cables.
First I need to figure out which are the correct ones for my subs.

I will be getting my REL 212SE shipment today.
Reading about the sub, REL claims they put a lot of effort and R&D into the square aluminum feet for the sub.
I guess I might have to try the EVPs out from your success - thanks!

Congrats on a great sub, I heard this at my dealer a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome.
