A couple of weeks ago,
I have tested the JL Audio Fathom F113 and been very well explained and serve by Mr Kwan(owner of AV Synergy which JL Audio distributor)
The sound is very powerful even at low volume.
The bass is very very powerfull,tight,solid and punchy.
Mr Kwan told me that this JL Audio Fathom F113 amplification is 3600watt where else SVS PC-13 ultra is only 750 watt.
No wonder during the recent demo we could not feel any bass at all because the sound amplification is not powerful enough.
And about the pricing which is SVS PC-13 Ultra around rm7k plus + the EQ is already 3k plus and in the end I might as well fork out another few k for the award winning JL Audio Fathom F113 and more high end subwoofer.
No wonder Lightning 69 had problem with the price issues before.
Glad you were able to test the JL F113. However, some of the conclusions you have reached are erroneous. The amp wattage alone does not tell the full story about how loud the sub can go. If Mr Kwan is giving you that impression then his info is misleading. The difference in bass perception is due to the different room. If you really want to do a shootout between 2 subs, test them in the same room then you will get the true picture.
Secondly the EQ1 doesn't only benefit SVS subs, it can benefit any sub. It is not a must to pair the SVS + EQ1 - please read up on the EQ1 and what it does before jumping to more erroneous conclusions.
