Wilson Watch Dog or JL

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my sub.  Currently a REL B1.  Looking for anyone with experience with the Wilson Watch Dog sub (the powered one) and how would it compare to say a JLF113 or other similar sized high power sub. (take price out of the equation) just want to know if the Wilson sounds that much better for music than one of the more "modern" subs.  I have WATT Puppy 6's powered with a McIntosh MC402 (400w per ch) and it does drive those Puppies very well.  BTW I am not looking to set SPL records. I usually listen around 70-80 db when loud  occasionally 90.
Thank you for your knowledge

I'm very happy with JL subs combined with my Wilson speakers.  I think that you are better off with a specialized sub manufacturer but integration and crossover are key to getting good sound.  Wilson recommended that I run the mains full range but this made proper sub integration very difficult so I followed JL's approach and high pass filtered the mains with a better result.
