GC Hifi Posted February 14 Posted February 14 (edited) Unfortunately due to the very poor weather and the fall out from it we are having we have had to postpone the JL event. We will be rescheduling it once everything is a bit clearer. Thank you everyone for your patience with this. regards, Terry Hi everyone, just a quick one, just confirming our next Gold Coast Hifi Clubhouse GTG which will be happing on Tuesday 11th March from 5pm to 8:30pm at our place in Arundel on the Gold Coast. We will have three rooms featuring JL Audio Subs in each room, at present the front room with have one F113 Fathom along with Fyne F703's. The main room will feature 2 x F110 Fathoms with ATC SCM150's. I'm still to finalise the sub for rear room that will be paired with stand mounts. Add to this Nigel Ng from Audio Connection will be there to show how easy and quick it is to set up the subs with JL's very own and easy to use DARO room correction system. As many would know I wasn't much of a fan for Subs and have owned a few and never could get them sounding right, the DARO system makes it easy and the sound quality improvement is so good straight up. Best of all for even those of us who struggle to get Subs properly integrated into our systems this takes all the guess work out of it. It is well worth hearing the impressive SQ differences with them turned on and then off, as you will be able to at this GTG. If you are interested in coming along please contact me asap as there will be limited spots for this event as it is a weeknight. As per usual we will have refreshments and around 6:30pm there will be lots of Pizza for those who attend. I look forward to hearing from those who would like to put their names down for this GTG cheers, Terry Edited March 8 by GC Hifi 4
TerryO Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) The JL F113 Fathoms that I first heard late last year and fell in love with down at Audio Connection in Sydney when teamed with a pair of Estelon’s flagship Extreme speakers have arrived and man these are not small Subs. Unfortunately I can’t unbox them until next week because I have a few stitches in back that would bloody well burst if I tried, so for now they will sit at the front door in their boxes, very frustrating to say the least. At least one and possibly both of the F113’s will be in action at the upcoming JL night so can’t wait to hear them in action next week. cheers, Terry Edited February 19 by TerryO 12
TerryO Posted February 27 Posted February 27 The last of three pairs of JL Audio Sub-woofers have now arrived and it’s time to set them up for the upcoming JL Audio Sub-woofer night on Tuesday 11th of March. More pics to come once they are set up and run in. cheers, Terry 2
GC Hifi Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 (edited) Well its taken a little while but all of the Subs are unpacked and in the three rooms and in place, the E110's in the back room were already run in so apart from setting up which took about 30 minutes, thank you Marco, nothing else much to do but be impressed at how good a listening room based around a pair of entry level F500 bookshelf's changes into a complete wall of sound. The front room with the F113 Fathoms was like the F110's in the main room, being, a ten minute set up using the JL room correction, again thank you Marco. The F113's are brand new so will take a few days to loosen up and sound their best, even so what they are delivering is truly impressive to say the least, can't wait for them to be run in properly. I'll report back once I have the F113's run in with an update before the JL night. I'm very much looking forward to the JL Sub night on Tuesday the 11th Feb at our place, if you are local to the Gold Coast and interested in hearing how much a pair of excellent subs can seriously improve even the most impressive sounding speakers then give me a PM. cheers, Terry Please pardon the average pictures, the light in the back room this afternoon wasn't good. The heart of the system in the back room is the Waversa Slimline all in one with 60w's on call. I also have a Waversa EXT2 inline ethernet filter before the Slimline. The EXT2 always impresses and if you have not heard one then its worth the effort to hear the improvement in SQ in any system. The F113 Subs make the Fyne F1-8S's look small.

GC Hifi Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 (edited) Something else that will be featured at the JL Sub night Tuesday 11th March at GC HiFi is the new Heschl HAL200T hybrid power amp which will be in the front room. Just got it today and it sounds bloody good even though it needs to be run in. The Heschl guys make bloody impressive amplifiers and this new one is a bargain I reckon. cheers, Terry I have been trying the new Heschl amp with the Fyne F1-8S's and the F113's ... Nice! This is what the impressive F113 Fathom Sub looks like close up without the cover on. Edited February 28 by GC Hifi 3
Gryffles Posted March 10 Posted March 10 @GC Hifi tell those blokes at Heschl to get some info on their site re the new amp!

BAM Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I have recently purchased a pair of JL Audio E112 subwoofers from GC Hi Fi. The subwoofers are installed into my system for home theatre and two channel duties. All I can say is WOW. These subs blend into my system so well I sometimes forget they are there. Turn them off and then not only has room filling bass disappeared but midrange has also reduced. Back on and all is good again. I have also had a chance of experiencing Terry's three listening rooms with different speakers and various JL subwoofer models. All sound fantastic. Especially the Fathoms. 8
