I think that they are on the same level. It depends on how you want to Intergrade your system. I just trust JL Audio and being an American company, in-expensive and easy for them to repair. Honestly you couldn’t go wrong with either. Also the look for me matters as well. Both companies make exquisite pieces of gear.

mijostyn, thanks for the opinion. If my JL subs fail for the 3rd time I might give JTR a try. As for DIY just not for me. As an engineer for 20 years I sure I could figure it out (I dabbled in a lot of tech over the years in industry), but it just does not interest me. I want things as plug and play as possible. Creating things, tweaking software, etc just seems like work to me these days. But I really respect the big DIY setups, very cool for sure. I have also remodeled two houses from the studs up and I just want to listen to music these days. No more construction, electrical, plumbing, no more projects for me. |
missioncoonery “Seems like the people with the high end loudspeakers are using JL AUDIO. Is REL Midfi?......are you for real?...” Don’t you know if your cables are not 3 months salary you have a mid-fi system lol. I find much of the discussion here to be total nonsense and relate a lot to psychoacoustics I bought a pair of revel and in the process of researching opinions I ran across a number of articles on Revel’s blind testing and found it fascinating. This recent video is good. Get better toward the end. https://youtu.be/xEZkz4Li-0M Anyway back on topic. It does not matter whether you go JL or Rel it is all about integrating it well. You need a highpass and you should measure your room or you will spend a long time dialing it in. Subs are super important these days as speaker prices are getting crazy and bass is very important. Even the newest crop of mid sized speakers (Sopra 2/3, Wilson Sabrina X, Olympica III, Revel 228be etc, 803d3) have no deep bass. They rely on room gain and that never sounds a good as a proper sub or very large speaker. |
