Rel Habitat 1

The REL Habitat 1 is the pragmatic solution to bass management without more drastic changes to system or room. It's performance in this respect will not better a good DSP solution or a well-sorted room acoustic treatment package, nor will it out-shine a really meaty subwoofer that sits in between the speakers like a big square monolith. But that's not the point all of those things are too often routinely rejected for being too intrusive to system or living space. The Habitat 1 is neither. It's simply a bloody good subwoofer that hangs on the wall, making your hi-fi a bit better and your home cinema a little more fun. Best of all, it's small enough to sneak another one or two around the room.
