Timeless Mid-century Style

Wrapped in gorgeous genuine natural walnut wood veneer, the Classic series subwoofers bring warmth to any listening space.

Its sound, as warm as its looks, will have you grinning from ear to ear as it washes you over with musical bliss.

Old Becomes New Again

The Classic series subwoofers from REL feature paper cone drivers, crafted using techniques learned from their early years. Hot-pressed lightweight paper makes up the bulk of the cone with an inner cap made from premium air-dried paper to stiffen the structure. Built with traditional techniques but designed for today’s high-power amplifiers, this driver revives the vintage REL sound character while also playing louder and deeper.

 

Modern Power

While the paper bass driver delivers the warm sound of the REL subs of yesteryear, the amplifiers used in the Classic series are responsible for its deep, fast bass response. Class D technology allows REL to pack much more power into these designs, which give the REL Classic series breathtaking dynamic capability. These subwoofers don’t boom, they bloom, filling your room with mesmerizing bass.
