Boss, that's why I am eager to know how well it performs against the 13-Ultra + EQ1 in a given room with little acoustic treatment if not none at all.
I dunno but I'm wondering why JL not top 3 in the craig sub list ? with 3600W power wor.. biggrin.gif pay so much but can't perform decent dB output at 10-20Hz wan?

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.

jchong,

I gave up trying to educate people last night. I was also given some very good advise on how I shd go for some for some chill classes. Appreciate the advise though. I believe I spend too much time trying to impart knowledge when people are not receptive. Comparing apples to oranges is the norm these days.

The F113 have a built in Auto EQ called ARO

from UltimateAVmag:-
so it's like a mini EQ1 built-in the sub, and maybe that make it higher cost....but surely the F113 is a beauty and very WAF friendly, I would want one if the price same as SVS PB13ultra  tongue.gif  , but at double the price of it.... I think Submersive looks very attractive with dual woofer tongue.gif

Yes the F113 has a built in auto EQ, but I see it is only a single band EQ that is able "to eliminate the single largest acoustic room response peak at your listening seat." This is similar to the auto EQ found in the Velo CHT-Q series. It is certainly not as sophisticated as the EQ1 or other devices like the AntiMode.

I suppose the JL emphasizes sound quality over quantity.

and sound quality includes how the room affects the final sound to the listener's ears right..?

all the more for those RM13k sub users (whose emphasis on sound quality) to appreciate how the EQ1 can complement their expensive sub to improve or correct their room conditions... rather than shoot it down as a product competitor.. I think.. smile.gif

Yes, sound quality includes the effect of the room. In fact some people say the room is the most important component of all...

That said, there are some things a room can do and some things it cannot do. Say you want tight, accurate bass. If you buy a boomy or looser type subwoofer can even the best room turn that into tight, accurate bass? I don't know but I suspect not. There was a thread on AVS discussing bass quality vs quantity and the thinking was if you have quality bass then you can always get more quantity by adding more of that subwoofer. However, if you start with a poorer quality subwoofer, it may have lots of quantity but even if you add more subs you only gain more quantity - you can never improve the quality. I tend to agree, but I also know the drawback to this approach is that it is likely to cost more.

I feel your frustration bro. To me, I think we should still try to share... there are many who are still receptive. Those who are not receptive, it's their loss. "Let those who have ears hear".

The point of comparison was that the 13-Ultra does not produce enough bass (SPL in this case). So, it was brought to our attention that F113 actually goes very loud and it was like a no contest with its 3,600W (still think that this is a definite wrong info as the max is 2,500w RMS short-term. It's a sealed sub too).

For quality bass in music, IMHO I wld go for F113 smile.gif but for movies with due respect F113 can't dig as low as 13-Ultra with that kind of SPL. But, I really would like to do a shootout to prove that I am dead wrong about it.

anfieldude, I feel for you. The other day had the same problem explaining to a guy about the same old thing rclxub.gif . We can't keep everyone happy.

Peace to everyone icon_rolleyes.gif
