2 JL Audio F112s or 2 Velodyne DD... wihthMBL 121?


I'm considering adding a couple of subwoofers to augment my main speakers which are MBL 121 monitors. Highest priority is integration for music - I've a musical taste ranging from classical to hard rock, pop, vocals. My current listening room is quite large, and is part of an open plan house we are renting. Room size is about 30' by 40' with vaulted ceilings.

I will likely move house to a smaller room/apartment in about a year, so I don't want something that would overpower an apartment, but I do want a full-range sound. Music is highest priority, but I also use the system for movies too.

Have folks compared the subs I mention, and in the case of the Velodyne, would the DD-12 make the most sense vs. the larger DD models? I think the JL Audio is the new kid on the block and has a great rep, but the Velodyne DD setup seems potentially more sophistocated and allows for better integration? Anyways, any advice welcome. Thanks.

I purchased a JLAudio F113 to augment my B&W 800 speakers and cold not be happier. JL may be the new guy on the block for high-end stereo, but they know bass really well. The digital set-up calibration is very straight-forward and easy to perform. Before this subwoofer, I thought it was impossible to integrate a sub in a fine music system. But subwoofers have come a long way. Getting that last octave dramtically enhances the feel of the soundstage. Enjoy!
