The Xs Pre 2 is built to vanish. It’s not about “preamp sound”—it’s about removing haze, lowering noise, and recreating space with such precision that recordings feel physically believable.

With a fully rethought three-box architecture, higher Class A bias in the output stage, and meticulous parts choices, the Xs Pre 2 delivers effortless dynamics and extraordinary realism—especially in resolving systems.

The result is a sense of continuousness: backgrounds go darker, images gain stability, and the system’s dynamic contrasts feel more natural and uncompressed. It’s the kind of component that doesn’t call attention to itself—until you realize how much more music your system is now delivering, track after track.

The INT-25 is the integrated for purists: fewer stages, fewer parts, more connection. It takes the spirit of a minimalist Class A amplifier and pairs it with a clean, simple line stage—so the system feels immediate, fast, and emotionally direct.

This is subtraction as a philosophy: remove what you don’t need, elevate what you came for. The result is an integrated that feels alive—especially with efficient loudspeakers and real-world rooms.

The INT-25’s magic is how it communicates nuance at everyday volume. Vocals sit “in the room,” guitars have body and shimmer, and timing feels locked-in without sounding hyped. If you value simplicity, musical truth, and a one-box solution that still feels genuinely high-end, the INT-25 is a beautiful match.

Precision in a Smaller Form: Now on demo at Absolute Phase, Bengaluru.

Whether mounted directly on the wall or placed close to the wall using the optional cart, PL-1 adapts easily to a wide range of spaces and systems. In many ways, it has become the Swiss Army Knife of REL subwoofers. Equally effective in music systems, compact theatres, unconventional placements, and even specialised applications such as centre-channel bass reinforcement where traditional subwoofers often prove difficult to integrate.

Deep Bass, Minimal Space
Flexible performance in an ultra-thin form.

Traditional subwoofers often demand significant floor space and careful placement to perform at their best. Planar PL-1 takes a different approach. Designed to work in close relationship with the wall behind it, Planar uses boundary effect coupling to produce deep, articulate bass from an ultra-thin form that integrates naturally into smaller and medium-sized rooms.
