A a proud owner of JL Audio Fathom F113 sub I thought it would be great to share opinions and comments.

Especially with all the new products including the new speakers

I am excited to hear these! If they perform as well as their subs, we are in for a treat!

Hopefully they follow up with some smaller models....maybe some wall mount surround speakers, and a center channel.

Me too I am looking for a dealer who will carry them. :T You could use three for the front L,C,R

Hmm looks like scan-speak woofers with some sort of strange dome midrange. Looks interesting that's for sure.

The dealer mentioned that they will be available in Q2 2009, a few months to wait, did anyone hear them at CEDIA?

[Hdale85]

Well I would never buy them...mostly because I don't buy commercial speakers lol and these are probably crazy expensive judging from their subs.

I think $11k a pair. So yes they are in line with their subs. But their subs perform phenomenally. So hopefully these do as well. And maybe by the time production rolls out pricing will go down? haha....I wish.

I wont pass judgement til I hear them.

[Hdale85]

Well highly doubt they perform 11k good

We shall see how they perform, don't forget these are active speakers not passive, so you have to include the cost of amplification as well.:T

I sold my B&W 855 sub with the intentions if I ever replace it it will be with a Fathom, ( do I dare say gotham... just because? :lol: ) however I dont think I could ever replace the speakers with JLs.

11k, id pick up a set of used N800s and another amp.

Yes I would probably keep the B&W as well but who knows I still want to hear them before passing judgment
