Just wanted to add this last comment on the EP400s to get this thread back on track. He (Jesse) seemed to like the JL113 and EP400s best for bass guitar, though he leaned toward the punch of the JL113. Keep in mind that you can buy 3 EP400s for the price of a JL113.

Eric Clapton bass guitar scene (don't know who the player is)

I preferred the clarity and depth of the JL. The dual Axiom ep400's could match the clarity but had none of the string pluck "punch" that you feel when being in a room with a bass player and his big bass amp. The SVS had very nice "pluck impact" but the notes hung around too much. We tried the SVS in sealed mode and it still didn't match the clarity of the Axiom duals and the JL. I didn't find the Velo or single Axiom 600 to stand out in clarity or punch for bass guitar. However, I think the JL could be eq'd to give more pluck punch but I'm not sure the SVS could be eq'd to reduce the slight overhang.
