Soundscape55 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi I am considering the purchase of a JL Audio subwoofer having been recommended them. Just wondering if anyone has experience of owning one. Looking at either the E-Sub range or the Dominion range http://www.jlaudio.com/home-audio-powered-subwoofers-dominion Many thanks.

Satanica Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I considered them when buying a small sub-woofer about 6 months ago. I've not heard one but I think they're a bit overpriced for what they deliver from what I read on paper. I went with a Paradigm Seismic 110 instead.

betty boop Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 primarily a car audio maker gone with some home audio in some years though. their car audio stuff is very good all made in us, I ran an amp and sub in my last car from them, cant fault. their home audio gear looks very well made, excellent quality just as their car audio gear is. some serious performance on tap. dont expect price to compare with more price seeking brands If you like, I would get without hesitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat474 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’ve got a pair of f113 fathom mk1 subs. Terrific subs which really fill out the bottom end with powerful tight bass. Bought both of mine second hand but new prices aren’t cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray H Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Yes, i have pretty extensive experience with them, mostly the fathoms (dual f113 and then dual f212), I also owned dual e110’s recently. Have also owned probably in excess of 20 other subs from REL, Paradigm, Martin Logan, Krell and Velodyne. I have never heard the dominion range though. i think Jl Audio subs are amongst the very best available for music based systems, they are ultra clean and accurate and they seem to integrate very well with even some electro stats because of their clean response. I think they can be easily beaten $ for $ in home theatre systems though by the bigger subs from svs, psa etc. So it may depend on the application you want it for, ie music system, home theatre or a blend of the two.

Soundscape55 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks guys for your helpful insights so far. Ray H - thanks for the details . . . . it's almost exclusively for my music system but I will check out the other brands and ranges. Cheers.
