Pair of JL Audio F110-Good Subs???

A couple questions waht are you main speakers you are trying to blend them with? Are you going to use them more with HT or music. Do you perfer rummble or very percise base.

I listened to the Paradigm and the svs both are nice but if you are doing a pair the JL is a better set up since they can be linked and I liked the JL better but the other tow are excelent subs.

I would usally recomend the 112 for music and the 113 for movies, they are slightly different sounding. The 113 the sweet spot is a bit lower. I think the 110 is a nice sub I haven't listened to it but I would try to lean to the 112 even if it means only getting one. The 110 might be a better blend if you are using bookshelves or non full range mains. Any way you go JL makes a killer sub.

All of the JL subs are excellent performers - and their pricing reflects that. Bear in mind that, while there are tons of expensive high end products that are mediocre, the JLs actually -IMHO- largely justify their price tag.

I've seen test results that indicate that the SVS subs are about as good (for dual use music and HT) and much less expensive. They are bigger and the finish is not as nice as JL. Caveat: SVS recommendation based on word of mouth and tests only - not auditioning. OTOH, I've heard most of the JL line and came away impressed.

Importantly - if you take the time to optimize location, 2 mediocre subs will almost always produce much smoother response than a single great sub - generally better for music. The single sub may go deeper and reach higher clean SPLs, however - generally better for movies. Pick your poison. In this case, I'd personally go with 2 110s.

Good Luck

I can verify the SVS PB 13-Ultra. I have not heard a better subwoofer. I have not bought the SVS EQ-1 yet but I am sure from hearing the results after one has incorporated it with there sub the PB13-Ultra tops the Jl's. Period. Most who buy them- keep them. Lots of used JL's sell online, no used SVS's, that tells ya somethin'.

The SVS Ultra-13 sub is very impressive,tons of output
and deep bass. I prefer the 15hz mode in my room. If you
have the room(its a large sub)I say go for it!

Alpha3, I noticed the little rubber feet are too short and the sub sits too low to the floor. I had Hifi Pyon custom make a sub platform($600shipped) for it with resonance isolation feet under platform and under sub. Wow what a difference it made. I have never heard better bass, controlled, defined, and really tuned the pitch of the bass. It was well worth the money and it is still way lower in price than a JL Audio F113...:)
