The JL Audio would probably be a tighter sounding sound, but yes, much more expensive. You could look at getting a couple of used JL Audio Fathom 112 or 110 models. The Fathom has the D.A.R.O. room correction system with the microphone. The cost would be more than the Hsu subwoofers, but less than a set of new E112's.
JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2
Hello everyone,
Trying to decide between dual JL E112s or dual HSU research ULS mk2. Price difference is big but what about performance? Does any have any direct experience with HSU subs? I’ve heard great things about HSU but never heard one in person.
I do 75% movies 25% music.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know that the JL Audio subs are really worth $3500 over the Hsu. Like Eric said, the E112 does not have room correction, so if you wanted JL Audio, I'd recommend looking at used Fathom (F112). You could also look into the SVS 4000 subs: https://www.svsound.com/pages/4000-series They have a DSP/EQ built in that can be controlled from iPhone/Android. It's not an automatic room correction, but it's better than nothing. For the money, I think you will get a lot deeper bass and a lot more slam than either the JL Audio or Hsu, especially if you get the ported PB-4000. It does take more space, as it is a 13-1/2" sub with a bigger cabinet. |
