Gene, now that these subs have finally hit the streets, how long before your team does some reviews? Would love to see a shootout between the Dynamo 12 and the Abysss 10. Displacement vs Power.
These are lifestyle products, they are not in the same class as the BalancedForce or previous gen Depth/Descent subs. The modern era of Martin Logan has moved to appeal to the generic consumer and is less interested in high-end audio gear.
I think its the case with the subs specifically because they went from servos to just dual opposed to normie subs. They're probably going to be fine tbh, but their speakers have gotten better in terms of measured performance compared to decades prior. Frankly ML was slowing down severely and they needed the new aesthetic and target response to keep up in the market.
@@Audioholics Sure, there's nothing wrong with that. Measurements just help explain why we might have a certain impression of certain speakers. I like a slight emphasis on the highs too.
I'm slightly late to the game with this channel, given my general avoidance of audio review channels, for various reasons. I've been bingeing this channel now for a few weeks and can I just say that Gene and James bring a level of scientific analysis and credibility to this space that is refreshing, much needed and appreciated, by me and many others I'm sure. As an ex-science teacher, I really do appreciate what you guys do!
Would love to know how these compare to the REL S line especially since the word musical was thrown out there quite a bit and thats what REL builds their subs for first. Can you run LFE in and high level speaker inputs simultaneously on either of these to get the best of both worlds? I have 2 dynamo 1100xs currently which is why im asking. Thanks Gene 🍻
Hi hello Mr Gene, im sorry if my question is not above topic review. Seek your advice , currently i owned SVS PB16 and keen to change with JL Audio Fanthom F112 as i heard a lot of good thing that JL Audio has. But im just afraid if i did a wrong decision by swapping my SVS PB 16 to Fanthom F112.... Seek your advice tq.
I’ve had the B100s since they launched and love them.
I have been using the Dynamo 1100x for about 10 years. Very nice sound and so, so reliable. Great intro to the new series Gene!
Looking forward to seeing your in depth review for the new Abyss subs. They look like a solid option when smaller sizes are needed.

There's more money in the generic consumer than people looking for high end. Unfortunately.
They offer both to broader their appeal. Nothing wrong with that
Man those depth or descent i subs were awesome when I heard them at Fry's

Sealed is for discipline, ported is for "wow" factor!!!
Erin's Audio Corner reviewed the Motion XT with measurements showing a boosted top end which may explain the 'imaging'.
@xavdeman good for him. I listen to speakers with my ears, not a microphone. These were phenomenal.

These are beautiful subs. What is the DSP Delay one these?
@dragonstone6594 very low considering the processing power I'd imagine

Very unlikely to be disappointed in the JLAudio. But SVS did just release the SVS PB17 Ultra
@@zenlunatic25 Appreciated … i already bought dual Fathom … Ya … Worth every penny that I invested 🙏🙏🫡🫡
Looks like they want to compete directly with RELs subs.
Whish they did all of them in white
10000 dollar speakersdont make companies that much money. These do. They've gotta make money.
I wish the white sub had white drivers.
I am disappointed in the new line of subs. I love the feature of being able to change the orientation of the woofer. Oh well things change...
@@cpa889900 bigger subs are coming from them. I love the Abyss compact subs for what they are....
