So recently I change because I thought my new Martin Logan Summit X were exposing the SVS SB13 Ultra. My thought is, a subwoofer should always blend very well, but mine felt a bit "slow".

Wow . . . . what a difference for music. The JL Fathom is just SO accurate, SO clear, and SO "fast". It keeps up with my Martin Logan Summit Xs no problem, and they blend perfectly.

I still haven't even run the EQ yet, but I'm looking forward to further dialing this subwoofer.

Now it is time to change out my bedroom SVS Subwoofer for a F112 V2!!


My skepticism is gone, if you are considering a JL Fathom V2 , get it , its amazing.
Yes, the only way to know for sure is to hear with your own ears! I went from the SVS SB13 Ultra to a F110 v2 and preferred the F110. Like a dummy I decided to sell my F110 v2 and purchased the new SVS SB16 Ultra without hearing it. That didn't last long, I quickly sold the SB16 and purchased a F112 v2. To my ears JL audio subs are more musical and produce tighter/more articulate bass.
