Anybody prefer JL Audio or Velodyne subs for rock?


Hi audiophiles, I'm looking to add a sub to my 2-channel audio system, and I wanna rock! My components are McIntosh MC252/C46, etc..., speakers are Klipsch La Scala II so high DB output sub is preferred. Has anybody heard both the JL Audio F113 and Velodyne DD18 and care to comment? I'm also considering a JL F212 but the beast weighs in over 220 lbs, and the price tag is heavy too. FYI- Velodyne has a special offer: good thru the end of April you can get a new DD18 for $3K, this offer should be good at most or all Velo dealers.

I have both the SVS Ultra 13 in one room running with Maggie 3.6's, and the F113 in another home theater room(much larger space). I'm a rock n' roll guy and have to say that although the SVS is a great piece for the money, the F113 is a different animal and above it in my opinion(FWIW). The SVS is plenty for me with the Maggies in my 2 channel room(12 X 16).

I'm thinking either one you mention might be overkill with Cornwalls, if I'm thinking of the right speakers, but the F113 is a monster. Two might make you deaf!!! No, I haven't tried the F113 with the Maggies yet, since the F113's are with the home theater matched with Paradigm S6's.

I never had any Velodyne DD series, but a while ago I had a Velodyne 1012, which couldn't hunt with either of these two dogs I currently have.

I think either one you ask about, or the SVS will fill up all but a huge room with plenty of McCartney's bass!!!! Rock on and enjoy.....
