When it comes to subwoofers, we can find several amazing brands like REL. This company has been known for their ergonomic and beautiful products and their new Serie S Flagship, the Majestic S/5 is proof of this.

The S/5’s driver features an all-new alloy cone structure that, according to the company, takes their mid-level product to a performance that exceeds their reference products of only a few years ago. Their engineering team reduced its moving mass, with a balanced approach to design to produce more speed than prior designs. Having an active, front-firing driver and a passive down-firing driver makes this subwoofer a very interesting offering from such an admirable company.

Here is a close view at the passive down-firing driver.

But what about power and connectivity?
The S/5’s features a powerful NextGen2 550W digital amplifier - a design that has powered several REL products in the past.

Take a look at the back plate of the amp.

In addition, LongBow Wireless Connectivity permits signal to be sent wirelessly within the same room to approximately 45 feet.

$2600 for a 550 watt 12" with a passive radiator?

Well, it's shiny anyway.
