JL Audio Fathom F212 Pro Reviews

Not long after the compact disc first came out, someone explained to me that it wasn’t the fact that you could play them loud that made them so fantastic, it was that they had such amazing dynamic range. I kept thinking about that conversation whenever I was listening to the f212. What’s so spectacular about the sub isn’t that it can play a 20 Hz test tone loud enough to threaten liquefaction of your bowels. (OK, that is pretty spectacular!) What’s really incredibly phenomenal about the f212 is the range, and the total control over that range that it has. It was masterfully awe-inspiring. And now I have to say that I sincerely hate the folks at JL Audio because they have forever ruined any pleasure I might have enjoyed with any other subwoofer. I’ll never be able to listen to another without comparing it to the f212. I dare say that there are a scant few other subs out there that are capable of rising to that challenge. JL Audio’s Fathom f212 is more than just one hell of a subwoofer—it’s one hell of an experience.
