Subwoofer SVS SB13Ultra vs JL Fathom F110V2

My system: Aerial 7ts, Jeff Rowland(JR) 625 S2 amp, JR Corus preamp, JR Aeris DAC, Bryston BDP-2, JL Audio CR-1 and F110 V2s.

My friend has a surround sound system with Dynaudio Audio Focus speakers(I believe 240s or 260s).

I will tell you the CR-1 makes a significant difference.

Thanks again Ricred1,

Do you mind elaborating on the difference between the sb13s and f110s. Do the F110s seem to go as low as the sb13s?    Budget only allows for 1 of wither right now but either way I plan on experimenting with the crossover built into my NAD C390dd

Thanks again

I'll preface my comments with in my system and in my room! The F110s are more articulate/tighter, provides more air, deeper, and play louder. Unfortunately, it isn't even close, because if it were I would have kept my SVS 13 Ultras.
Adding the CR-1 is a game changer! Everything and I mean everything is improved...more defined bass, wider soundstage, better imaging, "more AIR" and just a relaxation to the music being played!

Ricred,

I'm just curious as to the size of your space.  From the test data that I've seen, a pair of Ultras offers enormous clean output capability.  Your observation that the JL does better on that front (and, to be clear, Im not contesting that observation) suggests either a huge space or crushing SPLs (or your Ultras not delivering what the test pair did).

BTW, test data is available at hits hack.com.
