Rel for music, JL for movies, SVS for budget
Comment from : @ProfoundProductions

What do you think about the new SVS SB17 or Used JL Audio fathom113 v2, would the JL be that much of an upgrade or would you say they are neck and neck, of course this is assuming you have heard the svs sb17 or the JL audio fathom 112 v2
Comment from : @Deon3314

For 2-channel audio what are your thoughts on the REL T/9x compare to the Classic 99?
Comment from : @joeythedime1838

From yesterday I am happy owner of JL Audio E110 for Stereo :)
Comment from : @krzysztofpalka8685

I run dual SVS SB-3000's up front and a single SVS SB16-ULTRA in the rear of my 15' X 18' living room home theater
Comment from : @DLW

Hey, sorry for the seemingly stupid question, but how do you add a sub onto the centre channel? I've never heard of that before
Comment from : @iceman2640

Can i get an opinion on a kef kc92 for musical and movies?
Comment from : @jamessoriano1114

Any thoughts on the new SVS 17 Ultra subs? Do the two voice coils, or other new tech help with musicality?
Comment from : @ericjohnston889

Hi, what would you advice for HT - 1 single unit of F112 or 2 units of E112? The room size is 12 ft wide 16 ft length and 10 ft height I am running on 714 at the moment with a single unit of Revel Performa B15a I am thinking of replacing Revel with JL Audi subs Thanks
Comment from : @KSYee-t4t

Im in a tuff spot I got 2 pb2000 pro Looking to upgrade Looking for something that matched my ML Descent Would 1 fathom 113 v2 do the trick ? Does calibration mic on JL smooth out the room not needing a 2nd sub? Love the video very informative
Comment from : @tonycipps8443

Really admire the way you interact with people who hold a different view May the world bless you with kindness and peace the same way you have with the world around you! Great advice and great interactions with your viewers
Comment from : @TrueLies23

You have forgotten the REL S/812 and other better REL models
Comment from : @jlgas9554

Thanks for your video! What is rhe difference between rel carbon special and a 212 SX in a real life situation? My listening space is a large open space and mainly more serious for music and casual home theatre It will be great if you can advise Thanks!
Comment from : @mrsamuelmiao

Hey there I'm planning to selling my 2 x SVS2000pro subs and buying either a Carbon special or Fathom 112v2 (i'm all music) I can't afford two so I'm going with one Your video makes me lean towards the fathom Thanks
Comment from : @TonyMartello

Great video! In the market for sub three and four in a 5000 ft³ room These would be located in the rear Will I notice a quality difference if I go with JL Fathom in those locations? Or Pb16 same? Different recommendation? Also rather than running subwoofer cable to the back of the room, what do you think about wireless and is there a noticeable compromise?
Comment from : @soniclink8960

From the uk trying to get advice on subwoofers in a theatre and music system, can you mix ported and sealed subs ? And if you use Rels the under pin the LCR and have a 1 at the rear for LFE would this result in cancellation and phase issues or with software be able to sort that issues out ? Cheers
Comment from : @grahamherron6616

You obviously know subs! I've got two T9x's arriving anydayI noticed you suggested hooking LFE up to only one?
Comment from : @martinolson761

I am just curious, why did you say it's the best you can buy and inlcude 3 different companies that have 3 different entry price points for each sub? I would consider 2 of the 3 brands you mentioned to be on the mid to upper end of the home theater/music in the subwoofer for beginners category, certainly not end game or "best"
Comment from : @ccarzoo

Very good video I like how you honestly discuss the subs in the video I had not considered a JL sub but now I will dive in and do my due diligencebrThank you
Comment from : @Hal2audio

I enjoyed your presentation I would appreciate your advice I have 12ft by 13ft living room I have monitor audio tower speakers and its centre I recently bought a Yamaha A8A AV system I need to buy a good sub for both movies and music Could you please recommend at most three subs for consideration so l can choose one? Many thanks in advance
Comment from : @pmike77

I use 4 8” subs in different locations around the room with a bit of low end EQ mostly for cuts
Comment from : @SuperMcgenius

Very good explanations, you got a new sub, and not a woofer!
Comment from : @woohunter1

Thank you for this video I have a question regarding older subwoofers in general and the JL Audio Gotham g213v2-GLOSS in particular Does the JL Gotham perform still better than most of the current top-tier subwoofers despite it being a little bit older? Has the subwoofer technology severely improved over the last few years, so that the technology and sound-quality in the JL Gotham might be outdated? Thank you if you take your time to answer Best Regards, Jakob
Comment from : @JW-wt8yu

Do you experience reliability issues with JL Audio, more specific the E series? I can read about failing capacitors and volume knob problemsbrThey admit there has been a lot of issues but they changed some things in the design in 2018 brBut I´m still reading about quite a few problems todaybrI want to buy this with confidence 😊
Comment from : @justasimplefox

Jtr, ascendo, rbh You are one tier below the best
Comment from : @bingdong8571

I have B&W 802 D4 budget about 5K open room design Very new to subwoofers ?
Comment from : @logandemcak160

Great review! Thank you for the video!
Comment from : @andreyb3685

JL love em tight clean hard , low distortion bass Evan for car the w610 solid
Comment from : @Elmwoodpark-t6d

I recently purchased the Michi P5 preamp and Michi S5 amp driving my Magnepan 27x speakers My audio dealer only carries JL subwoofers Which JL do you think would be a good match for my system? No home theater, just music Vaulted ceiling in my listening room 16 ft high Your recommendations are greatly appreciated, thank you
Comment from : @jamesmathews1841

Out of those 3, JL is always going to be the choice brbrFathom is one of the best I’ve heard for performance to size JTR not covered is probably the most violent I’ve heard
Comment from : @L3x4Pr0ne

Hi Great,informative video What pair of subs would you recommend for my Martin Logan 13A's? In a 16 by 16 heavily treated room I just listen 2 channel music No theater Thanks
Comment from : @michaelpaul9672

Do you listen to budget center channel speakers? If so, please see below brbrWhat center channel speaker would you recommend at $400 or less brbrI was looking at the ELAC Debut20 C62 But I heard the Uni-Fi 20 Center might be better brbrBut I think a 3 way is the way to go brbrMy fronts are ELAC Debut20 F62 brbrI don’t have a sub yet Still trying to find one Right now it’s looking like the RSL 10e or 10s MK2
Comment from : @jameshastings6538

How do you add a sub to the center channel?
Comment from : @jameshastings6538

Può essere inserito con delle proac 140 che già hanno una risposta dichiarata 25hz 30khz? Ha senso nell ascolto dei vinili la cui registrazione n9n scende al di sotto dei 50hz? Io lo utilizzerei 100 musica in una stanza di 18mq, con amplificatore ma6300, proac studio 140 e giradischi technics sl1200 mk2
Comment from : @simonecionco1565

Can u please make a video of you blending in differnt subs Im a AV installer and i would love too learn more
Comment from : @JaySinead12

Thanks for this video, I have been struggling to decide, I care about no so loud listing music (not movies) want good musical sound but punchy base, JL E110 or REL T9x or there is something you suggest, thank you in advance
Comment from : @R2D2-V2D2

I need it tight and clean My living room shares a wall with my neighbor’s I’d consider a T9 with a T7 tied to the center, as you proposed, but that’s as far as my budget will allow
Comment from : @Em_Dee_Aitch

the SB16 ultra sounds even tighter and is much better in mid bass than the JL audio f113 with its slightly modified boomcar driver but I understand your dilemma, SVS wants to provide the best deal for the customer, not the dealer
Comment from : @jeanpaulceulemans9973

Have you heard the Elac varro dual reference DS1000 and DS1200? If so what do you think about them i'm considering the ds1200
Comment from : @Nokturnal33

Thoughts on the Rel S/510? I’m considering getting a pair for my Kef R11 metas
Comment from : @imaquis8368

Have you ever heard Arendal 1723 subs? The 2S snd 2V models have 138” horizontal dual opposed drivers They look really good but I have not heard them yet
Comment from : @jkrankin1

Hi all I live in Australia Currently have a REL T7x Should I a) Get another T7x b) Buy a T9X and sell T7X or c) get a JL E112/E110 and sell T7X ? 100 music Cheers Andy Need more info? Just ask please
Comment from : @andywalters6753

Hi, great video on the subs i recently upgrade my system Av CX-5200 yamaha advantage MCintosh MI347 surround/ McIntosh MC302 Stereo amp 71 setup speakers Sonus Faber Sonetto 8 with the Centre II now i am looking for a good sub i play 60 movies 40 music doubting between a REL S812 and a JL E112 what are your thoughts?
Comment from : @roydaniels8389

What about subs built into structures like walls and floors??Have you had any experience with PSB subs I heard 1 at an audio show they sounded very musical Also saw some pretty massive subs by Paradigm but never heard them??
Comment from : @jeffreybrady927

Dave, very informative 0:07 on subs I am building a theater room 13’ 2”x 17’ 10” specifically for movies & popcorn After watching your video & you introducing me to JL subs, I am not sure if I should go with my original plan of buying two SVS PB 3000 0r spend more on two Phantom F112v2 ? I rather get it right the 1st time & not buy twice Your video’s are super helpful & to the point, thank you
Comment from : @garym1199

One additional question I have a pretty large room (20x30x14 High) and have had one Paradigm Ultra Cube for the last 14 years I am not sure how this relatively small sub shakes the room and immensely satisfying Maybe it’s bc it has a downfiring 12 with two passive radiators on the sides? My question is that since Paradigm discontinued this model, which subs would you say would perform similarly for a room my size and I really only want sub for now
Comment from : @salmamjad

Thoughts on Seaton Sound, M&K, Monoprice, HSU? Also, thoughts on the importance of THX certification?
Comment from : @salmamjad

Which do you recommend 2 smaller subs vs 1 larger sub? I have heard opposing opinions regarding this

Games pc which best strong bass? Svs or JL?
Comment from : @yangvang9095

howz revel b1 subs performance
Comment from : @shajijohn4134

Dual opposing subs in a sealed cabinet which give you speed, extension & compact dimensions without any vibration, like the KEF KF92 are the way forward and all other designs are old hat
Comment from : @ravington666

Hi I have Polk S55 basic tower speakers in stereo and I use 50 music and 50 movies I would like to add a subwoofer Would you recommend the SVS SB 2000 pro or the REL T/7x?
Comment from : @Pepa071

Hi, I have a 1460 cubic foot room, Sonus Faber Concerto's - would I be better with 2x REL T5's one SVSSB4000? I am only interested in music I know I could do with bigger subs but that is the budget and I may move to a smaller room in 6 months
Comment from : @timickan

Thank you for this review, currently pushing dual SVS SB3000's in my small 10'x10'x8' room 524 setup at 50 PS5, 40 movies/tv, 10 music Playing World of Tanks at louder levels is crazy 🙃🔊🔊💥 literally my wife will open the door and give me the "come on!" 😁😇😂👊🏽💥
Comment from : @alwayspushing2031

Absolutely brilliant video I'm from the UK and I've not seen one video on someone saying about blending a REL subwoofer with your centre I did this about a year ago with a tip from a AV specialist in the UK, you and that AV specialist are the only two people that told me about this I get extra controlled bass from my Kef centre without having to upgrade to a centre costing thousands
Comment from : @a7eca13

Any thoughts on Paradigm subs?
Comment from : @stefdilger6832

Love my twin SVS SB 4000's to go with my beloved full range Martin Logan CLS for music
Comment from : @samuelcain5426

I think I’ll get a pair of fathoms because of your recommendation I need something for both music and running a home theater on 2 channel floorstanders
Comment from : @BradleyRMarion

Can you do a REL 3D setup with a video review?
Comment from : @lloydgalatas4533

Can't do better than SVS PB16? Many subs out there that will destroy it with ease when it comes to HT 😂
Comment from : @el222

The SVS SB 1000 pro does its job well with my 5 other Speakers
Comment from : @ENGBriseB

Thank you for making this video I’ve wished I found this video much sooner You are one of the very few on YouTube that understands bass from musical to theater
Comment from : @gilbertlam463

HellobrThis was very nice video brJust one question 2 rel tx9 or 1 pb400brbrI listion to music a lot but I need sub that fills room too
Comment from : @richardsonaliya9746

high level Rel speakon doesn't work on fully balanced intigrated ampsif you do you will damage your equipment and have a humI think after owning 2 of themthat they are overated and overpricedwith a Rel label on every piece of the sub
Comment from : @briancampbell7712

Had an svs sb3000 Thinking of replacing with either a REL S/510 or SB4000 Marantz 8015 receiver B&W 700 Speakers And 2 other subs ; Rel t7x & sb3000 micro brWant the slam but tight clean for music brWhich of the 2 wpuld you recommend?
Comment from : @michael0791

Try a ported Arendal sub and you'll experience ported subs can sound musical They display excellent group delay measurementsbrThe same goes for Rythmik subwoofers
Comment from : @boterhammetpindakaashagelslag

Im torn between rhe Rel T7x and the JL Audio Dominion D110 Which one offers the best bang for the buck? Looking to use it with Rock Music and some Movies Thanks
Comment from : @edwinsprojects7039

I have a 2 channel system class A fully balanced intigrated amplifier and listen to a lot of music and run my tv through my system watching Netflix movies and YouTube videos tooI recently sold the pair Rel T7X'swhy, because I always felt i was missing an extension and fullness in the bassI hate thumping bassbut need a single sub that can do both music and movies ( don't need or want the apartment to shake the neighbors) I talked to a tech at Rel and he suggested the S-510Do you know of a JL that would work even better ?

Comment from : @demwillams8898

Looking for an upgrade for 2 channel music listening (Currently have a 12 inch ported sub which provides adequate bass for movies per our preferences) However, as I have substantially upgraded my system for 2 channel listening, the current sub sounds more sloppy/slow My listening room is 2500 cubic feet (but adjoins a 1500 cubic feet kitchen area) My power amp provides 300 watts rms/2 channels; driving 3 way, 89 db efficient, 4 ohm tower speakers My processor allows me to run 3 subs Current thinking - I keep the current ported sub for movies, switch to sealed for 2 channel listening I am clueless as to how much bass I need for my room? One larger sealed or 2 smaller sealed, etc Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Comment from : @garydumas3148

Hi there, from you experience on jl audio fathoms I was talking to a dealer about 2 F110 v2 for use in home theater setup And he told me that they are not good for it To go with REL carbon special That the F110 starts to roll of at 30hz How true is that? My room is 14x18
Comment from : @noeliniquez9608

SVS sealed sub is the best bang for buck No one can achieve more at the same price
Comment from : @LA-h5s

How do u have ur fathoms connected sir

New RSL speed sub can go down to 20htz for only $799 is it a steal ,¯⁠⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Comment from : @acaciomadeira5147

Finally someone that actually agrees with me on using 2 different subs 1 larger subs for the lower frequencies and a smaller musical quicker sub for the higher/midbass SUBSCRIBED
Comment from : @mattm2684

Great video, also liked the screen video as well I am unable to locate your home tour video Can you share a link
Comment from : @ddent22

Hands down the best video I've come across explaining the different character of subs from different brandsbrWould be great if you did a video series on best subs in different price ranges and which type of sub would serve which application
Comment from : @KirkLazurus

What is your opinion of the HT line by REL? Have been reading that the 1510 Predator is fairly musical while delivery good home theatre performance
