Summary:
I currently own a Rel R205 after auditioning a R505 I could only afford the 205 but when I stumbled across a going out of business sale the R505 fell in my lap and oh what joy .The R505 is a very musical deep bass machine,I hear my music like never before notes I did'nt recall hearing before.Movies are a room shaking affair, accurate and precise bass reproduction.I use both the R205&R505 in my system and they both satisfy although the R505 takes the show up a couple of notches.Rels are pricey so if you can afford one go for it ,they might not be for everyone but I saw them improve my sound on par with far more expensive speakers my fronts are Snell E5.

Strengths:
The R505 provides deep clean bass reproduction while allowing user flexibility in mating with your speakers.The R505 has an adjustable crossover from 25hz to 100hz which aids big time in blending with any speaker

Weaknesses:
Non worth mentioning
