Award Winner 2025 – hi-fi+ Magazine

"Chris Franklin was impressed. 'From the first few notes of every track I played, the inclusion of the subwoofer brought a noticeable improvement,' he claimed, adding that, 'piano was more real, with more space around it, and voices were cleaner and more emotive.'"

"Of course, bass was improved, with Chris noting that, 'the bass line when it kicked in was not only deeper, but tighter and easier to follow.' But more importantly, 'it will also improve the sound as a whole, giving more insights and presence to tracks you thought you knew well.'"

Highly Recommended Award - avsforums.com

"If you need to keep your budget below £2,000, the REL Classic 99 represents a worthy choice. It’s a subwoofer designed to entice music and movie lovers in equal measure. You might prefer one or two bass boxes which will turn your room into a floor-rippling fairground ride. But that’s not what the REL is about. Nor is it shy of delivering thunderous bass when it needs to. The 99 harbours a cosy, almost congenial approach, to subwoofer sonics; both the sound and look are laced with an analogue warmth, retro charm and innate musicality."

- Martin Dew, avsforums.com, December 2024

"Highly Recommended" - TONEaudio

"The Classic 98 takes the punchy, linear, extended, and tuneful sound that REL is famous for, but tunes the vibe more to that of a vintage, or perhaps even (dare we say it) classic British sound."

"Tracks that don’t have as much low frequency information impress just as much as the ones that do. That’s the magic of the REL Classic 99. Perfect for those of you who love the Classic 98 but feel you needed significantly more due to either using larger speakers or having a bigger room than the 98 could handle. The Classic 99 reminds me a lot of the old Stentor II of the late 90’s, though that old heavyweight weighed in at around 100 pounds and cost $6,000 back then. Highly Recommended."

Audiophile Gear of the Year Award - futureaudiophile.com

"Classic looks and sound combined with some modern touches make for a formidable subwoofer. The dark walnut cabinet is reminiscent of the speaker cabinets of my youth, but the performance is vastly improved from that era of subwoofers. REL does a masterful job blending modern technology and performance with classic aesthetics and audio cues."

"At the end of the day, adding the Classic 99 to the already formidable B&W 702S3 Signature speakers seamlessly expanded the low-end extension, and added weight to the bass without impacting the sonic character of the Bowers & Wilkins. Adding the REL Classic 99 to my system was purely positive in every way, and I highly recommend auditioning one if your music system could use a bit more oomph on the bottom end."

Best Subwoofer 2025, Man Cave Essentials – askmen.com

"REL Acoustic’s Classic 99 subwoofer is a jaw-droppingly gorgeous piece of hardware that will class up just about any man cave. With its gorgeous walnut veneer, it’s easy to mistake it for some kind of heirloom side-table — until you hear what comes out of its 450-watt amp."

Special Performer Award - pursuitperfectsystem.com

"The Classic 99 can give you very high quality bass with a healthy dose of smooth, warming, pleasing bass characteristics, too – a little bit of coloration maybe, just a touch but that is okay… for real world living rooms, listening rooms, normal sized homes the Classic 99 or two would be a very fine addition to your system."

- Terry Ellis, pursuitperfectsystem.com, December 2024

"This is the second member of the REL Classic Series, a product line that deliberately plays with a particular vintage touch. Like the already available REL Classic 98, the new REL Classic 99 presents a so-called mid-century modern design, offering a warm sound character, but above all, guaranteeing a nuanced, powerful performance with state-of-the-art technology. In the case of the new REL Classic 99, it offers more of everything than its little brother [Classic 98]".
