Paradigm or JL subwoofer

I am making changes to my 5.1.4 system. I use it for home theater and listening to music.
I have a Paradigm SW 1000 Prestige sub. It was suggested to me that if I am upgrading my system I should have two subs. I listened to two JL Fathom f112v2 subs. The sound was great. They would cost probably $9000. As I already have the Paradigm SW1000 sub, I am thinking of just adding another one for $3000 and saving $6000 that I could use for better electronics such as a Lumin T2 streamer. Would two Paradigm 12 inch subs be a major drop-off in sound quality compared to the JL's. Thanks

The JL audio's big selling point is the automatic room integration is really great. If you aren't a room acoustics/measurement geek this will save you ages of time and trouble in getting it right.

@audiotroy Thanks for the comment. My sub is SW1000, would you say the same for the 1000SW compared to the 12" JL

@james633 Thanks for the comment. I will look into the E112's. I'm not sure if I need the built in room correction or not. I will look into it

@james633 I just checked the E112's on the JL web page. I will talk to my dealer about them, thanks for the heads up
