i don't think so. i just calibrated it to 75db reference. and did a loopback to for soundcard.

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.

  heard they recommend you to go anger management class..

This is a delicate issue. Probably audiophiles might shoot me on this.

In a way, most audiophiles prefer to have a pair of floorstanders / stand mount speakers to produce music. However, there is a limitation in most of these unless you have a very capable speakers that is full range / full band. In this way, you do not have any 'missing link' when you listen music.

When there is a freq bandwidth limitation in the speakers, a good sub that is being set correctly to complement the system will yields a better music reproduction since you are hearing more details 

Thanks for the clearer explanation. So lets say if i were activate my sub for music, what mode do i select?

Also, isnt it a hassle to always tune your sub for movies then for music? I've never try it before but i think the mid bass might overwhelm the sound if i were to use a sub for music.

Pure Audio mode (in my nr807) disables the display & video circuitry only. With my subwoofer configured ON, pure direct mode does not disable the subwoofer. I have a choice 2.1, 3.1 or 5.1 speakers config. Same for Direct and Stereo mode too.

OK another question (sorry) here, for movies, if i select the DIRECT mode, am i missing out anything?

Especialy for Blu Rays?

if one is into Classical or Rock, a dedicated sub does help..

ooo im not entirely sure ... i was just quoting from the manual .... ahahahah!! That's why i like this forum so much, it's a learning adventure for me ......  thank you all!!

i do recall that for pure/direct 2 channel stereo source, the output shud be confined to FL & FR speakers. if that is the case perhaps the front speakers wud auto back to full range. but im more of a casual music listener these days and hey the multichannel outputs for PLII, 5.1stereo and thx music coupled with the SVS Woofer is not bad to my unlearned ears. depending on the music genre, some are pretty good actually, they are very enveloping tho the pure hifi'ists wud say NO that's not a representation of the LIVE performance

Ahahah thanks i read that.

The oppo costs more than twice a regular bdplayer. Granted tat it is region free, can play mkv, sacd & dvdaudio, much classier built, it's kinda hard to foot out that amt of $$$ for a slightly better pq only .... im resisting ahahahaha!!!!
