Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Heard a JL audio GOTHAM today...

It always comes down to the best that you can afford or are willing to to spend. I personally haven't heard the money difference between my M80s and any of the Focal's($5000+) or Paradigms 100's etc., I have listened to, so I am happy and that is all that matters.

I am reserving judgment on the subs, I am still trying to decide if I want to order in the PB13- Ultra just to see if it is twice as good as the PB12- NSD, since it is twice the cost or as Mojo said bring in the eD monster size subs. I know the PB12 is way better than the Velodyne I brought home for testing and the SVS is 2/3 the retail cost. I think at some point there is diminishing returns on the investment and as with most things, even that is up to personal choices and values.

I would like to see someone compare the gotham to the ED sub

I could have swore I heard you say that you were the one going to do that

Lets see.. you can get 5 ED subs for 11,000 dollars, so to be fair you would need to compare 5 ED subs to one gotham right?





On a side note- a guy at AVSforum wrote this:

"As it will end,dual f113 up front with the Gotham and dual f112 in the rear. Now the wait for the Gotham."

his signature says this:
"Over 3600lbs of subwoofers , I declare my place the sub human domain. Sanity does not live here anymore. "

I just received my PB13 ultra yesterday. It is way better than my PB12+. I wish I had other subs to compare it to. I have heard legacy audio's subs and I would say the pb13 is as articulate and more powerful. I have heard that the EP500 sounds like the baby brother to the pb13 ultra I would love to compare them.

The Darla tap scene from Nemo shakes my whole house with some headroom to spare. It is very clean and fast for music also. I think I will keep this one for several years.

The Darla tap scene from Nemo with the 600 shakes my whole house too and if I turn it up high enough, the windows upstairs rattle.

Now as for "fast", this is where I have the big issue with the 600. The 350v3 appears to be "faster".

Illinois is too far for me to lug my 600 to your place but you're welcome to bring your PB13 ultra here .

I think I might buy or at least try out the 350v3 to compare the sound quality to the pb13. I wish I could lug this 155lb monster up there my neighbor and I struggled to get it out of the box. I would love to hear the 600, PB12-NSD or anything HSU has to offer. I went round and round about which sub(s)to get.

You maybe a little far for me to travel, Sirqack is closer though and he has the right subs to compare also.

True. I think you should leave for your trip to Randy's now 'cause we're all in suspense .

I had the darla tap scene on my demo disk but I didn't get around to playing it on the gotham... I had very little time and too many scenes to choose from

Well...when are you going back then?
