For you, which is the greatest evil, more electronics in the signal path, or your fear of integration problems?
Rell or JL subwoofer?
I have 4 classe 25 amps biamping 4000 watts to a set of Bowers 802D3, I currently have 2 12 inch svs pro 1000 sealed subs, 500 watts each and a 15 inch klipsch like 800 watts, do to space I need to get rid of the 15 inch klipsch, so I’m upgrading my 12 inch svs , I use my system for 50% music and 50% movies and I do prefer smooth movie bass that the svs subs give out, everyone says Rell is for music, and to get JL audio, but my dealer that sells Rell said Rell is definitely the way to go for movies and music that Jl is not . I have learned to trust him, very kewl guy, so his opinion got me confused cause everyone else said Rel is only for music and JL is actually hybrid for both music and movies. I’m looking at JL audio fathom 112 or fathom 113 vs Rel s812 or Rel carbon series, which do you guys recommend? I leave it up to you guys!!thanks so much

If money is no object the $4-5k JL subs have room correction-built in , the lower priced ones I have owned Svs easilly ether especially the 2 I mention below . I personally like the SVS SB 4000 and SB Ultra 16 subs over most Rel subs which are not sealed ,Sealed BTW are more accurate the Rel are vented passive radiator through the bottom and for the record SVS has a great app you can do all kinds of adjustments via phone or tablet ,45 day trial ,and they even pay shipping ,and 5 year transferrable warranty the others Donot . |
@vonhelmholtz Excellent, and very tough, question to answer. @alucard19 Which SVS sub did you have? The newer ones have integration software that gets excellent feedback from users. |
