JL Audio Fathom F113 V2 13.5" Subwoofer Review | StereoNET International

stereonet.com

The JL Audio Fathom F113 V2 impresses with its ability to deliver powerful, immersive bass while maintaining speed, making it a formidable choice for home theater enthusiasts. Its engineering boasts a robust 13.5" driver and a well-designed cooling system, ensuring high performance without distortion. However, its size and weight may be overwhelming for some setups, and while it excels in low-end extension, it doesn't quite match the agility of smaller subwoofers. Overall, this subwoofer is a high-performing option for those serious about audio but comes with a hefty price tag and a need for proper placement.

JL Audio Fathom f113v2 Subwoofer and CR-1 Active Crossover - The Absolute Sound

theabsolutesound.com

JL Audio's Fathom f113v2 is a masterclass in subwoofer design, delivering deep bass with remarkable clarity and precision. The newly introduced Digital Automatic Room Optimization (DARO) significantly enhances its performance, effortlessly eliminating unwanted resonances and allowing for a seamless integration with main speakers. However, the price tag of $4,500 may deter budget-conscious buyers, and optimal placement is still crucial for best results. While the Fathom excels in both music and home theater settings, it may not cater to those who prefer a more pronounced bass character. Overall, it offers exceptional value for audiophiles seeking reference-quality performance without the exorbitant cost typically associated with such quality.
