Rel S/5 or JL Audio F112

Hi All, I am looking to add a sub for my Wilson Sophia 2's just to fill in the very bottom end. I will use it for music and HT as my room does double duty. I have narrowed down my list to these two as I really don't have the opportunity to audition any other brands. Does anyone have any experience comparing these subs side by side?

Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks,

Mike

Markel,
I agree with you regarding the F110s. I have dual F110 V2s in a large room and don't see the need for anything else. In addition, I have a CR-1 and can tell you it makes a significant difference.

Thank you everyone! I had purchased a used R/3 here on audiogon that ended up not working on it's high level input so I will have to send it out to get fixed which got me thinking maybe it wasn't enough to match my Sophias so I thought of moving up to the S/5. Then I started looked at the JL Audio line.

Markel that was exactly the experience I was looking for. I am somewhat surprised that the F110 was a match for the Sophias but if I get two like ricred1 suggests, it would save me some money. I automatically thought the F112 was what I should be looking at.

There was a CR-1 on here not too long ago for a great price. I didn't know about it, but by the time I finished reading about it, someone scooped it up!
