Despite the B2's larger size and larger woofer, the B2 is lightning quick, faster indeed than any of the others below it.
The B2 is voiced with far greater weight and authority in the bottom register, creating the kind of free-wheeling air shudder that real bass instruments project into real music venues at grand scale. Able to deliver brutal dynamic onset, the B2 is also able to retrieve tiny flutters of hall decay and reverberation that the others will miss.
Listening to the B2 is a visceral experience. Although it mates seamlessly with virtually any speaker, the B2 moves so much air that it is capable of truly bringing realistic acoustic power into any listening room.
The dulcet tones of a female vocalist, the shriek of a wailing guitar, the soft susurration of a wire whisk on a cymbal or the deep resonant power of a Kodo drum, the B2 makes every performance seem more real and involving. REL says that the B2 delivers bass that can only be called frightening. Although the B2 has certainly made us jump out of our pants a few times, we prefer to think of the B2 as the most intoxicating and involving subwoofer we've ever heard.
