REL Classic 99

En angenäm blandning av design, kraft och grace. Bygger på grunden som lagts av Classic 98, denna modell förstärker alla egenskaper: mer kraft, djupare bas och en design som fångar både ögat och örat. Med 450 watt som driver en robust 12-tums papper-på-papper-bas, spelar Classic 99 inte bara högre och når djupare.
Ingenting fortsätter att säga Livsstil som Mid-Century Modern RELs
Classic 99 utökar vår Classic Line till högre höjder. Rikare, djärvare och kraftfullare? Säkert. Ändå är 99 också kapabel till mycket större nyanser, luft och upplösning än sina mindre bröder. För dem med mer kapabla system och större rum, ger Classic 99 framsteg på alla fronter, samtidigt som de behåller samma lättsamma, rumsfyllande karaktär som alla Classic-erbjudanden har. Den högkvalitativa äkta mörka valnötsfanéren kompletterar en mängd olika dekorer. Classic 99 levererar detta i samma enkla, tröstande form av Mid-Century Modern design. Perfekt för dem som välkomnade originalet, men som ändå väntade på att nästa kapitel skulle skrivas, de som längtar efter ännu högre prestanda och förmågan att fylla större, större utrymmen med en bred matta av djup bas. Du kommer fortfarande att vilja sätta på en skiva, hälla upp en favoritdrink, sjunka ner i din favoritstol och koppla av i musiken eller filmen du väljer. Classic 99, för den som väntat på mer.
Designed to Be Superior
Classic 99 adopts the form language introduced in its model 98 stablemate. As comfortable as a pair of well-worn loafers, it features solid cabinet walls as thick as 32 mm, clad in rich, warm walnut veneer, hand fitted with care. The simplest of natural aluminum badges and softly radiused feet milled from solid billet, blacked out to allow it to seemingly float, ensure that nothing, not even a grille disturbs the vibe. Yet, as with all RELs, the styling conveys far more than simple comfort. The down-firing 12” driver, while unseen, will surely be felt. Continuing to the rear panel, one finds the period-correct detailing extends to the amplifier panel, where all controls are finished in lovely white gold. Everything that one encounters has the heft of quality switch gear, even the click made by the phase switch is near perfection. Quality abounds everywhere one looks or touches. Don’t be surprised if your children fight over it later in life.
Driven to be Louder. And Quieter.
As anyone familiar with REL will tell you, we always begin with the driver. In this case, a bespoke 12” long stroke driver that uses lightweight, stiff, hot-pressed paper to form the main body of the cone. Laid atop that is a stiff center cap made of hand-thrown paper; to randomize the fibres, ensuring that the driver has excellent self-damping. This is one of REL’s secrets. Understanding that it is the quietness, that attention to bring the driver to complete silence, that produces the most startling dynamics. Whilst Classic 99 will play shatteringly loud, it’s from the very black background that the loudest dynamics emerge to produce the sense of shock sought by great composers and directors.
Classic 99 is big, bold, and full of character, similar to the Stentor II of our youth, but at one-third the price. Of course, the 99 has a great amp. In order to generate deeper bass and significantly higher output, we turned to a tried-and-true Class D amplifier that we’ve already used in thousands of previous units. This 450 watt amplifier is fed by an all analogue PerfectFilter™ front end that extends useful output well into the low 20 Hz range – superb for a design of this size and price. It produces a sound that’s both rich and richly detailed at the same time. Classic 99 borrows the best from current technology to deliver a sound slightly warmer and more like what we all imagine vintage sound to be, with superior reliability and performance than was ever available back in the day.
