While not a part of any regular line of REL products, instead, it is its very own solution for anyone who owns and loves vintage audio gear, or its modern equivalents that we refer to as retro. With different aspirations, Classic 98 offers a slightly softer touch, delivering a broad carpet of room-filling bass. While it might trade off a touch of the speed, clarity, and deepest bass that our standard models, like the T\/9x, are known for, it compensates with its inviting warmth. Classic 98 beckons you to put on a record, pour a cherished drink, recline in a comfortable chair, and relax into the music. Its classic natural walnut veneer and mid-century modern styling complements a wide range of decors. It’s also easy to place and use. One reviewer aptly dubbed it as “the audiophile‘s ultimate guilty pleasure.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-3 h3\"\u003eDesigned to Warm the Heart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"metafield-rich_text_field\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic 98 channels the essence of our renowned 10” down-firing designs from the late 90s. The rich, natural walnut veneer exudes warmth and authenticity, reminiscent of the mid-century stereo gear. The radiused curve, accentuated by a subtle reveal line, showcases modern craftsmanship while honoring past design. The rear amp panel, with its white gold silk screening and contrasting knobs, evokes memories of the era, while the glossy black logo set against a matte background adds a contemporary touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-3 h3\"\u003eDrive To Survive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"metafield-rich_text_field\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Heart of Classic 98:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10” down-firing driver, crafted using our traditional paper cone technique, revives the vintage REL sound. This driver, built to handle the abundance of power offered in Classic 98, ensures a sound that's not just powerful, but pure and deeply resonant.
