 The F113 will be more than $2500 new, but the F112 will be doable and is pretty close. I'd also not count out the Velodyne DD12 or Paradigm Servo 15 (if you don't mind giving up the EQ features). I'd say the F112 and DD12 are great just because of the onboard EQ features which will tame the boominess of the sub placed in many rooms. Remember that "boominess" that you may be hearing could be a room peak which means that bass is exaggerated at certain frequencies making the sub sound "slow" or "overhang". That can be fixed by big room treatments and/or EQ.
I own the SB12 and can attain to its goodness with the most critical reference tracks I've thrown at it, but if I had more budget to allocate toward a sub, I'd easily go for either the Velo or JL |
Sorry about getting back as I've been out of town....
I really like the idea of eq features, and the Velo or DD look hard to beat for performance and significant other approval rating. I'll be auditioning the F113 and DD15 in the new year - too late for Christmas - maybe. Hmmm - going to Montreal for the holiday, maybe I can find a boxing day special.
