dakayus Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hey guys I wanted to know your opinion which one sounds best. I can't go out and hear speakers for a few reasons so I'm limited to buying these things blind. I have heard the sub-12 and I thought it sounded pretty good, but since it was hooked up to a very poor receiver I don't knwo it's full potential.

oldbuckster Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I own a jbl psw1200,12" sub, it does a good job for my set-up. I know there are better subs out there, but for now this one serves me well. It's like anything else, How much bottom do you want? How much do you want to spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakayus Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well i'm going to be using this in my bedroom so that's like 15x12 or something along those lines. I do want some power, but my main focus is mostly quality. I heard that people prefer the sub-12 over the current rw-12 so i decided to throw out the rw-12. My price range isn't too good so I figure at max something a long the lines of $450 ish. I do not want to get a 10". My main reason for that is mostly because I believe most of the stuff I read was that the 10" don't go low enough. Right now I'm running some RF-3's and they seriously need some bass which heavily lacks in a lot of my music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyjeep Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Sub-12 easily. Working with both of them on an almost daily basis, the Sub-12 blows away the E250P. Sub-12 goes lower, hits harder, and stays with the F-3s easily. Also Amp wise: E250P 150 w peak v the Sub-12 650 w peak.....Again Sub-12.

kenratboy Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I OWN BOTH and the E250P is a piece of junk compared to the Klipsch. Not even CLOSE. Sounds like the JBL is a $300 sub and the Klipsch is well over $1000 - that big of a difference. JBL will be replacing the E250P with the...ugh...SUB 12, which will retail for $429.99 and looks like it will use the same parts as the E250P, so I am not predicting anything great. Harman International is a HUGE company (Dr. Sydney Harman is worth over $100 million for god sake!!!), they can do better, look at Revel, Lexicon, even the JBL Studio L series!

The thing is...Harman is happy with the sales and why would they pump money in R&D when a product sells based an name alone? If it keeps selling dont fix it.

kenratboy Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well, complacency is hardly a good trait in business! My gut feeling is the Synergy line is rocking at Best Buy, and JBL is taking a back seat and seems to be relegated to deep discounts at the NYC camera stores. Hardly a good position to be in.

TheEAR Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Besides the upscale horn loaded JBL's I never found their speakers great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 What about an amplified sub woofer. I wanted to try a powered subwoofer...so I was looking around for something cheap to try...thinking I would upgrade later to a higher end model. I bought a JBL LS120P II (400 watt amp, studio series line) demo model for 239.00, list was 699.00 it is running along side a pair of 2004 lascala's. the LaScala's are being fed by an Onkyo NX-1000 in stereo mode which should provide 200 watts per channel. The JBL's keek up to the LaScala's no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
