REL Launch New Reference No.32 & No.31 Models
REL have finally announced the replacements to their top end Reference models. Dubbed the No.31 & No.32. These should be a serious upgrade on what REL have been able to do in the past and we are really looking forward to hearing them. The No.32 enjoys the rarefied position of elevating their Reference range to an even higher orbit. No.32 retains the exquisite beauty of their previous curvilinear reference cabinets, an updated 15″ (380mm) true carbon fibre driver that boasts 4″ (100mm) of total stroke and their ultra-reliable 1,000 watt amp outfitted with thin film capacitors, higher gain and superior limiting.
The net result is a flagship model that stretched the edge of the art further with superior dynamics, richer tonal colour, and a freer, more expressive character that opens up the midranges and highs in an unprecedented manner.
No.32 represents the sum of REL efforts, research, and knowledge gained over the past three decades as a leader in audio and subwoofers. Nothing they have built competes with the speed, agility, absence of texture, and vivid dynamic contrasts delivered by No.32. It represents the pinnacle of REL’s considerable experience and is their standard for future innovation. A remarkable sonic achievement, it transcends its illustrious forebear, which was named Product of the Decade just a few years ago. It is 1,000 watts, has a 15”(380 mm) pure carbon fibre driver, and has exquisite cabinetry requiring three weeks of labour to complete. However, each of these features only hints at what it takes to reside at the top of REL’s offerings, and No.32 is poised to be a design for the ages.
Its smaller sibling, the No.31 is nothing less than a pure reference model, sculpted from the flanks of the remarkable No.32, but using a newly developed 12″ (350mm) all carbon fibre driver. Every facet of No.31 has been comprehensively upgraded and refined from its predecessor. No.31 delivers the classic Reference filter used in No.32, the same dual parametric filters, a driver that handles three times the power to deliver a truly thrilling experience.
