Tobes Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Item: Rel S3 subwoofer Location: Bendigo Price: $1600 including shipping ($1500 pickup/cash) Item Condition: 9/10 - only because not new Reason for selling: funds for speaker upgrade Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Rel is of course one of the best known specialist subwoofer manufacturers and the S3 has been glowingly reviewed by the hifi mags - see below. Used this with my ATC SCM19 monitors and did a great job in providing full range sound - but now have the big ATC towers so no longer require the Rel. The S3 has a 10" active front firing woofer (350WRMS Nextgen II class D amp) and bottom mounted 12" carbon passive radiator, finish is lovely gloss piano black. Like all Rel subwoofers it comes with the high level Speakon cable for seamless blending with the main system and well as seperate low level stereo inputs and HT sub input. I'm including an additional custom Kimber 6m Speakon to banana cable and the S3 also has provision for the Rel Longbow wireless connection (can be purchased separately). I'm the original owner and have the box and manual. http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rel-s3-subwoofer/ Photos: Edited June 18, 2019 by Tobes 3
Tobes Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 The older 350W version. Like I said to someone else, I suspect the up-spec to 400W was more likely a marketing push. If you do the math the difference between 350W and 400W is about 1dB headroom. Type of amp (Nextgen II Class D), drivers, controls, features etc otherwise all the same as far as I can tell.
isdom Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks, i was thinking of getting a brand new 15 inch predator for 2300 delivered new but not sure if a old s3 represents the same value even though its a diff beast. Would you be able to do a special deal ( even if its without the kimber cable ) especially since there was a recent s3 SHO version for $1600 with free delivery i missed out on here.... https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/261349-sold-fs-rel-s3-sho-super-high-outputsubwoofer/ hope we can deal soon cheers.
Soundfever Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 @isdom the predator and s/3 are two different beasts. It all depends on what you are chasing. Also, I recommend you PM the seller to negotiate rather than doing it in the open forum. Cheers.

Tobes Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Since I've offered a couple of enquirers $1600 including shipping ($1500 if picking up) - I thought I might as well make it official. This is half the RRP of the current S3. Edited June 18, 2019 by Tobes
