A aoaaron Audioholic Intern Oct 29, 2023 48 0 6 36 Jan 16, 2024 #1 Perlisten D215S vs JTR RS1 vs JTR RS2 Any thoughts? Currently have 4x Monolith THX 15 V2s. Trying to decide on which sub to go for. RS2 price seems so close to RS1, almost deems like its a better value to spring for it. Will go dual subs with either model.

I would rely on his advice. All three are excellent subwoofers. If you use money to help you decide (which most people will do) you now have to compare money vs quality. That is a very independent decision process.

Too bad Deep Sea Sound hasn't been active, that could be another choice, and I'd put Funk/Harbottle in there, too. Reactions: Danzilla31 and Golfx

Because you are mentioning infrasonics and large, if you do not mind waiting 7-10 months for the build times Harbottle and Funk also offer some large and expensive options. They also claim low distortion but I have not seen their numbers tested. Last edited: Jan 17, 2024

G Golfx Senior Audioholic Nov 28, 2020 643 0 16 79 Suffolk, VA Jan 18, 2024 #12 Did not realize you were based in UK. AVforums has a very robust Perlisten sub owners forum. Very involved particular discussions as well. Their main competitors listed are indeed the JTRs you mentioned above. I do not have the patience to do DIY (suspect I would be intolerant of naive mistakes) but it has a sense of accomplishment of purpose that would attract the handyman in me. Is there some reason you are staying away from ported JTRs? They will go lower infrasonics with more SPL.

I fondly remember the guy who built 32 18" sealed subs to go there. I misread the option thing for the Ascendos (but don't remember them being particularly good) otoh. What 24" driver can you get there?

Going JTR requires me to pay £400 for conversion to UK power supply, 20% in VAT, 10% in custom fees, and a pretty expensive delivery fee. But you raise a really good point. Why am I going away from ported JTRs? No idea. I just assumed sealed is better as I've never owned them but all measurements I see point towards ported actually being cleaner in output especially infrasonically. And most have negligible group delays. Maybe ported JTR or a DIY sub is my answer then.
