Sin City , sinfully delicious sound


Just finished the brilliant , outrageous Sin City and was blown away by the soundfield . From the opening note to the final credit , this sonic blockbuster does its best to keep pace with arguably the most artistic movie in a decade . The DTS version explodes with such prodigious bass that you better be careful , it will take your subs to depths most movies only dream about. Not as cohesive front to back as say Dark City , it still however manages a solid and palpable field that dips you deep into the underworld of a fantasy world that can certainly be described as audacious and bold yet balances all of the unique elements in a way that never detracts from the pacing . A must own DVD , it also boasts a fantastic visual experience second to none with a grain free visual palate that will make you think Blue Ray has already arrived. Love it or hate it , you gotta respect it.

Considering it. I need to hear how the EQ'd room turns out with a trio of Velodyne DD-18's. It would work well on its side under a center channel, much like the Krell MRS is designed.

I haven't heard the list price yet. Less than a pair of SW-12's?

What's so special about this JL Audio Gotham Sub? It does looks impressive enough though.

How does it compare to other home theatre subs like Velodyne, SVS, contra-bass or the Genelec HTS-6?
Odd i o , its not been released yet so no comparisons nor reviews are out but the r n d on this unit is legendary as JL has put everything they have into this monster . 3800 watts available , over 300 lbs 2 , 13.5 inch drivers and sealed enclosure to boot . It has a room eq and mic that comes standard to balance sub into room . Winning best in show at the 2004 Cedia and bringing down the house at the last CES , its got to be at the very least , a monster sub for theatre.
