Perlisten D215s: Is This the Most Accurate Subwoofer on the Planet?

[Delija]

If max SPL is not important and music/stereo is primary (90%) purpose of the system - does 2x D215s has any advantages over 2x D212s?

The room is 40 m2 and current 2x SVS SB16 Ultra have more than enough headroom.

The cost is not an issue - the difference is small, but the size of (dual) D212s is much more (living) room friendly.


p.s. I've asked the same question on several forums - since there are not so many Perlisten subs owners out there.

I would guess that the D215s is very similar sounding to the D212s at nominal drive levels. I think the primary advantage of the D215s is headroom and a bit more low-frequency extension.

One of the nicer reviews of the D212s by Theo.

Thanks. I've watched it. Great review.

With 4 of them - I would easily have to find another home

I don't mind if I lose A little in the lowest freqs which are not important for the 99.9% of music material - I wouldn't like to lose any of the speed, texture, kick...

BTW, my main stereo speakers are Dynaudio Confidence 50. I don't use high pass filter for stereo - I tried several times, but don't like it. For current subwoofers (SB16's) I use cascading low pass filters at 90/100 Hz - 24 db/oct on subs + 12 db/oct on Minidsp Flex. I read a lot that people complain about SB16 performance with music (a little slow and "boomy") - the additional 12 db/oct makes the difference. With this config I'm very satisfied, but if it can be even better - why not.
