For those who've been contemplating adding proper bass foundation to their system, or upgrading from an entry-level subwoofer, this timing couldn't be better.

Understanding REL's Approach to Bass
What makes REL subwoofers particularly special—and why we've championed them for years—is their unique approach to bass reproduction. Rather than simply adding boom to your system, REL subwoofers integrate seamlessly with your main speakers, extending their performance rather than overwhelming it. The T/x series, in particular, employs high-level connection directly from your amplifier's speaker terminals, ensuring the subwoofer receives exactly the same signal character as your main speakers.
This approach transforms not just the bass, but the entire soundstage. Clients often tell us they're surprised by how much more open and three-dimensional their existing speakers sound once a REL is properly integrated. It's not about hearing the subwoofer—it's about hearing your entire system perform at a level you didn't know it could achieve.
Choosing the Right Model
With savings across the range, selecting the appropriate REL becomes less about budget constraints and more about matching your room and system. Our demonstration rooms, including The Snug Home Cinema, allow you to experience these differences firsthand.
The T/5x at £629 suits smaller rooms brilliantly, delivering controlled, musical bass without overwhelming the space. Step up to the T/7x at £899, and you gain the headroom needed for medium-sized rooms and more demanding material. The T/9x models, particularly the SE variant now at £1,349, represent the sweet spot for serious listeners—offering the kind of effortless, room-filling bass that makes everything from orchestral crescendos to electronic music truly visceral.
For dedicated home cinema enthusiasts, the HT range offers remarkable value. The HT/1510 Predator at £1,699 delivers the kind of seismic, controlled bass that brings film soundtracks to life, whilst the more compact HT/1205 MKII and HT/1003 MKII provide cinema-quality bass for more modest spaces.
The Martins Hi-Fi Difference
Since Elizabeth Gould transformed our approach to customer service, we've focused on creating an environment where you can properly evaluate these remarkable components. Our team, led by General Manager Marcus Harbord, understands that investing in a REL subwoofer isn't just about adding bass—it's about completing your system's potential.
We'll help you choose the right model, ensure proper placement in your room, and guide you through the setup process that makes all the difference between good bass and transformative bass. Many customers are surprised to learn that subwoofer placement and calibration are as critical as the choice of model itself—expertise we've refined over decades.
Limited Availability
This promotion runs until 31st December 2025, but we should note that inventory is limited. REL has allocated specific quantities for this promotion, and once they're gone, that's it. We've already seen strong interest, particularly in the T/9x SE and HT/1510 Predator models.
Experience the Difference
Rather than trying to describe the impact a properly integrated REL subwoofer can have on your system, we invite you to experience it. Book a demonstration in our showroom, and we'll show you exactly what your system has been missing. Whether you're enhancing a stereo music system or completing a home cinema setup, the current savings make this an ideal time to discover why REL remains the reference standard for subwoofer performance.
The promotion includes all in-stock T/9x SE colours, plus black and white finishes across the HT, Tzero, and T/x models (including the T/9x in Grey). With savings of up to £200 and our expert guidance to ensure perfect integration, there's never been a better time to add genuine bass authority to your system.
