Mooie nette rel quake te koop, izgst: de quake is uitgerust met een krachtige 100 watt mosfet-versterker en een 8-inch long-throw woofer. Ondanks zijn bescheiden afmetingen weet deze subwoofer frequen
With condition unknown, €235 sits a bit above the €202 median but still inside the normal used spread, between the €198 25th percentile and the €248 75th percentile. That makes it a fair, slightly firm ask rather than a bargain, and not ambitious enough to dismiss on price alone.
The Quake is well liked for delivering compact, tight bass that suits smaller-to-medium rooms and integrates more cleanly than bigger, boomier subs. At this level, it’s the kind of buy that makes sense if it’s complete, quiet on standby, and the driver/amp are healthy; with no condition details, I’d mainly want reassurance on functionality and cosmetic state before jumping.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
REL Acoustics traces its origins to the inventive mind of Richard Edmund Lord, the man behind the brand's acronym, who founded the company in the United Kingdom around 1990 out of frustration with the subpar subwoofers available at the time. Dissatisfied with conventional low-frequency solutions, Lord crafted his own mammoth custom design, integrated into a bay window, which quickly earned acclaim from audiophiles as the finest they had encountered. This grassroots beginning in a tiny workshop marked the start of REL's relentless pursuit of audio perfection, evolving through innovations like the revolutionary High-Level Input that connects directly to a main amplifier's speaker outputs for seamless integration.
The brand specializes exclusively in powered subwoofers, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables to focus intently on sub-bass systems. Early models like the Strata 2, Stadium, and Britannia range established REL's signature forward-firing designs and simplified crossovers, while later series such as T/x and the reimagined Serie S—launched in 2025 with models like the 212 Black Label and S/850—refine musicality, style, and power. Acquired in 2005 by John Hunter and Donald Brody, REL modernized its aesthetics and engineering without diluting its core philosophy.
REL commands a prestigious niche in the high-end hi-fi market as the preeminent authority on subwoofers, revered by discerning audiophiles for transforming even elite $15,000-to-$20,000 speaker systems into reference-caliber performers. Its boutique status stems from unwavering innovation and musical fidelity, positioning it as an essential upgrade for serious setups rather than a mass-market or mid-tier option.
