The beautiful new cabinetry is bespoke; it has new textures, proportions, and finishing touches previously unseen in the category. Lower, sleeker cabinetry borrows proportions drawn from our new Reference models. Over the years, our experiments have established that this results in a faster, deeper presentation of bass—all while looking smashing. Your eye is immediately drawn to the top panel, whose entire surface finished in 5 coats of hand-polished piano black lacquer. A discreet REL logo floats within the top layer of lacquer whilst the body of the cabinet is clad in horizontally streaked, line-grained composite. The entire affair looks expensive, bespoke, and tastefully restrained. Additionally, you can stylishly combine it with either Serie T/x or Serie S in large, fully-immersive REL HT/3D™ setups.*
REL HT1205 — Taming a Challenging Room
"Five Stars 5,000 cubic feet of open floor plan turned my beloved S3 from authoritative to anemic. Two months of REW measurements and close collaboration with the REL team in Berkeley led me to the solution: the HT1205 as low-end support for the S3, crossed over lower, placed at the rear of the room, and time and phase aligned — with a T5x rounding out the center channel. Three subs. Tuned properly. The difference is not subtle. The HT1205 moves the air this room demands, filling the foundation while the S3 stays fast and musical doing what it does best. Impact is back — even at low volumes — and movies are in another league. What surprised me most is how seamlessly the 1205 integrates. It doesn't announce itself. It just makes everything better. None of this happens without the team in Berkeley. Their expertise turned a frustrating problem into an exceptional system. A brand like no other. Thank you, REL."
