REL G1 vs JL Fathom F113 subwoofer

I currently have a REL B1 and am seriously contemplating the jump to the G1 or G2. The G1 blended so effortlessly (my B1 blended well with my Sf Auditor Ms, but took some time for correct position and Xover). I am really not a fan of the gloss black though - real wood veneers will be offered in the future.

Bflowers,

Wow......You have an Awesome System!

I had a REL Studio III with synergistic cables. A pair of JL F113's is so superior that the difference is incalculable. Also at half the price!

IMO the JL is one of the few sub-makers who could augment the sound of Wilson Alexandrias with no downside. As high end subs go, two JL F113 Fathoms strike me as a good value: combined they cost less and have more power than a single Gotham G213, and of course you can distribute them throughout the room or put one alongside each main speaker for best integration as you have done.

For $20K total, you could have a pair of Maggie 20.1s plus a pair of JL F113s. That's a full-range system that would *kill* at that price.

Thanks alpha3

I agree that the JL was easy to integrate. I assume the ability to calibrate the sub makes a lot of difference. The alexandrias have very good bass. The JLs provide a foundation and slam that is awesome. I have heard Gothams integrated into world class systems (one with alexandrias and one with line arrays) that were both seamless. The REL never came close...and I reiterate at double the price..

Bflowers,

Have you heard the New Wilson Thor's Hammer sub?
