My music-only system is 2.2, by which I mean stereo subs added to the main speakers (electrostatic hybrids with sealed-box aluminum woofers). Crossover and EQ are handled by an Anthem STR Preamp. In the face of one sub newly not working, I'm pondering what direction to take.
The two JL Audio F112 subs have performed well since 2007, with at least two repairs in that time. Now one of the subs won't turn on. With shipping, the repair would cost about US$600.
Which leads me to consider -- would I be better off with something new?
A brand-new SVS SB-3000 is $1000, an SB-2000 Pro is $800, a Rhythmik F12SE is $1100. JL also has lower-priced lines. There are many other powered subs with line-level inputs, of course.
Who has compared some of these? Any thoughts? I'll be laid up for a week or two soon, so I'll have some time to consider comments an do online research.
Thanks!
