Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL
I have a pair of SVS-3000 subs. I have enjoyed them and they offer a lot of bang for the buck. I recently purchased a pair of the Fleetwood Devilles which I like very much. Looking to upgrade my subs to match really well with my Devilles. Will be used for 2 channel music only. Want musical and articulate bass that enhances and integrates well with the Devilles.
Options are :
(1) SVS only this time going to the SVS-4000. Relatively inexpensive and I love their setup app.
(2) Magico A3Sub-built like a tank, expensive though I can get a reasonable deal on a pair and Magico will assist with the setup through REW
(3) JL Audio Fathom F112 or 113 V2- Good bang for the buck, lots of fine tuning available
(4) Rel (any of their carbon based subs)-Biggest concern is no phase adjustment. I am limited to where the subs can go so don't understand why they provide no variable phase adjustment.
Thoughts and comments welcome.
I have a REL 328 and like it a lot. BUT the lack of phase adjustment is the Achilles' heel for anyone wanting to dial in the sub. The direct-servo Rythmik line is excellent and completely adjustable. And you don't pay a premium for the name, as you do with REL. Better value.

@missioncoonery Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot that no one ever pays a premium for a name. Silly me indeed. Thanks for your help. OP, you DO pay a premium for REL, and some just think it's worth it. I like my REL. But numerous good subs are out there, and you want adjustable phase, which REL does not provide on most of their models. That was what diverted me from REL for further subs. |
