Angeboten wird „REL HT/1508 Predator“ von REL Acoustics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Subwoofer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8961103053 endet am 01.08.2026 um 09:13 Uhr.
This is a fair ask, not a bargain. At €1,300, it’s meaningfully below the new-price tier for a flagship REL home-theater sub, but not low enough to call it a steal; for a clean used example in good condition, that sits in the sensible middle rather than the “jump on it” zone.
What makes it worth serious attention is the combination of serious output and speed: the HT/1508 Predator is a sealed 15-inch design with an 800 W amp, aimed at delivering deep, tight bass that still integrates well in a theater system. It’s also a premium, heavy-built piece, so a well-kept unit with the original leads, feet, and any stack accessories is a better buy than a bare one. If the driver, amp, and finish are all clean, this is the kind of sub that rewards a careful buyer.
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.
