@james633 I will have to look up highness crossover. Thanks for sharing your experience with JL |
@fiesta75 That's what I was told in a showroom, that the JL's go way deeper than the Paradigm. The problem for me is I can only spend so much. My Paradigm cost $3000 plus tax, I put it up for sale on Craigs List and no bites. The JL's cost at least $9000. I know what you mean about feeling the JL's |
@audiotroy Thanks for the comment. My sub is SW1000, would you say the same for the 1000SW compared to the 12" JL |
@james633 I just checked the E112's on the JL web page. I will talk to my dealer about them, thanks for the heads up |
@james633 Thanks for the comment. I will look into the E112's. I'm not sure if I need the built in room correction or not. I will look into it |
@deadhead1000, From one dead head to another, thanks for the post. I hate to sell my Paradigm and lose a lot of money on it. It would be easier to just buy a second one. I need to find out more about the JL E112's as I can afford two of those. If I did that I would like to keep my Paradigm as a third sub if possible although I doubt if my wife would want 3 subs in our room |
@erik_squires I have to find out about the set up. I won't set them up myself |
I can't buy used as I will be buying other equipment and I know the shop is not going to set up used equipment with the new gear I buy. It is a great idea though if it wasn't for that |

I wouldn't buy used but I am concerned it there are quality control issues. I never had a problem with my Paradigm speakers and sub
|
@speakermaster, I decided to do exactly that. I will save a lot of money if I just buy a second Paradigm and I'm sure it will be great compared the one I have now |
@audiorusty thanks for your comment. I should have stated from the beginning that my main concern is music. I love my home theater set up now with 5.1.4 with the Paradigm sub. I love to watch Atmos movies for the Atmos effects. Right now I am in the middle of Tomorrow War, I'm not watching for the story, I am watching to enjoy my Atmos system. I am very satisfied, not looking for better, If it is improved with new equipment it will be a bonus. What I am really interested is great sounding music. My system sounds ok as is for music but I want to make it not just sound better but to make me feel better while listening. I have heard systems in different showrooms that do this for me. I am probably going to replace my Node 2i with a Lumin T2, add an amp for my front three speakers and make some other changes. I know spending a lot on two subs would be great for Home Theater but I am thinking that for listening to Qobuz I don't need to overspend. I'm sure I made a mistake spending $3000 on the Paradigm SW 1000 sub, but I think spending another $3000 for a second is a better option for me than spending so much on JL. I need to talk to my dealer about it |
Thanks for that information. I have zero tech knowledge of what I actually need so I really appreciate your post. If the 1120 is set with the crossover then no need for one. Thanks |
thanks for the response. I have decided to buy another Paradigm SW1000. Too many comments about the reliability of the JL's has convinced me. I probably don't need to spend $3000 on a second sub but I would worry that mixing subs would not be as good as two the same
|
Yes it does not make sense at all to take a big loss on my Paradigm sub. I have no doubt I could have bought something better for less money but at the time I thought it was best to match the sub to my speakers. I will buy a second one |
@m-db Thanks for your post. If possible can you explain to me why the JL CR-1Crossover is critical. It costs $3000 which is a lot for my budget. I was told my Anthem 1120 has a crossover built in. If the JL Crossover is that important to my system I would consider.
My system is home theater, 5.1.4 but I am looking to change it to 7.2.2. I am definitely adding a second sub. I love watching Atmos movies with my system. I am really looking to upgrade the sound of listening to music. I stream Qobuz, I am thinking of replacing my Bluesound Node 2i with the Lumin T2 which would be a huge expense. It's possible to buy the JL Crossover and not spend the money on the Lumin T2. I also stream via the Conrtol4 app with my Anthem 1120 and I think it works better than my Bluesound. Thanks |
@audiorusty thanks for that info on the crossover. I need to find out if I can do it with my 1120 Anthem. I really appreciate your comment. I decided to go with a second Paradigm SW1000. I just don't want to lose $1000 on mine to buy more costly JL's
|
m-db good luck with your upgrades. I decided on a second Paradigm sub, along with a Anthem 325 amp to go with my 1120 receiver, I am going to replace my ceiling speakers and add two more for a 7.2.2 system. I am now researching music streamers, I have a Bluesound node2i that I want to replace with something better. I am looking into a crossover for my subs as well |
I already have Paradigm 85F's, 55C and 2 Surround 3 speakers. I am planning on selling the Surround 3's and buying Paradigm ceiling speakers to replace my Atmos and surround speakers. I also have a Paradigm sub |
@audiotroy I appreciate the offer. I already have one SW1000 and will be purchasing the second one from a local dealer. Thank you |
