Apologies for starting yet another thread to extoll the virtues of either the XLS200 or the Gem II.

I'm about to order one of the above, and I just want to know if there is a vast difference in performance between the two.

It'll be used 99% for films and 1% music, and at low to medium volumes from a Denon 1909 amp

Also, I currently have a REL Q50, and wish to know if either the '200 or the Gem will be a significant upgrade.

Thanks in advance

Get the XLS200, it will be a step up and you should get the best sub your can every time.

Go for whatever you can afford at the time.

My Gemini has done me proud and I'll be selling it on here in a week or two.

I'm in the process of finalising my next step up: an SVS PC12

Thankfully my wife has agreed to buy me the 200 for Xmas, but i was trying to make sure i wasn't wasting an extra ton in not getting the gem instead.

Or wasting 300 quid on replacing the Q50 altogether!

well stick another £100 towards it yourself and buy a monolith lol

That had crossed my mind, but it's too big!

... and thats why they built the xls400 ! even so i guess that the difference in size between the xls200 and the 400 is still a fair bit. hey ho

Indeed it is. I don't have the space for anything bigger than the 200.

I also have no desire to have my head shoved in the sub driver by my better half, because I've introduced a table sized subwoofer into the living room.
