I hav Jl audio, rel and M&k subs in my systems . All pairs.
IMO the sub choice depend on the speakers you are matching them with . I use my Jl Gotham’s v2 pair with my magico M3 integrated with a cr-1 crossover and the integration and blend is seem less . The rel s812 pair I use with my Charney horns using high level inputs . Good integration. Without an adjustable phase I feel the integration is very good but not perfect . The ease of set up though is beyond compare .
Took me with the help of bass guru Barry the Sounddoctor months the get the Gotham’s tuned in to perfection to the room with thr m3 . The Rels I could do it in an evening. They sounded decent just plugged in lol.
The M&k x12 pair I use in my home theater . Thundering sound effects . Set up using Dirac.
Each sub IMO is a diff beast . To compliment full range accurate speakers Jl audio, if you take the effort will win. For just adding bass to a limited range speakers with ease rel would win. Purely my experience. I have been a rel faithful from their st series .
