Perlisten Owners' Lounge - Discuss all things Perlisten.

I looked up the automatic calibration of JL Audio. I was unaware that it existed. If it works as advertised by their literature it certainly would be a great thing to have.

But why would you need that? Do you not have an AVR/P that offers room correction software? Whole room EQ such as advanced audyssey releases and newer DIRAC releases would surely outperform an offering from JL Audio. If the latter was successful you would think JL Audio would market it as a stand alone.

Not if they want their subs to have something exclusive!

Would be nice if Perlisten could have integrated automatic optimization like JL audio especially since they are as expensive but made in China!! Where as JL Audio is made in the USA

You seem pretty convinced of the superiority of JL Audio. Is there any chance you can return your Perlisten subs and buy one of JL Audio?

Looking at some options and opinions. I have a 17.5x13.5x10.2' room. I currently have a pair of 12" Rel 1205 subs I had in my living room setup, now with a new dedicated room build I want to upgrade. I am also trying to take advantage of the Trinnov waveforming tech well (cylindrical as I cannot raise the subs on the walls). My idea was to get a pair of Perlisten R12, R15, or if the D series would be necessary, although im not too into the gloss finish as these will sit right under my screen. I would be placing the 12" Rel's in the back as the absorption bit of it until I can upgrade those as time and finances allow.

Goal is to get deeper and more accurate bass, my rep's now show there limitations, especially on action movies like "no time to die" car scene with the machine gun spray, as well as others like blade runner 2049. and with waveforming to get more consistent bass in all seats.

Currently have a 7.4.2 setup with KEF 5160's all-around bed layer, KEF 250RRM for atmos, Trinnov Alt16, Amp16.

Thanks!

AVS forums has a really excellent trinnov owner’s forum (https://www.avsforum.com/threads/trinnov-altitude.1516103/page-1518?post_id=63478276#post-63478276). You would be well served to visit with them.

Also Britain’s AVforums also has an excellent trinnov owners forum (https://www.avforums.com/threads/tr...-discussion-help-experiences.2279879/page-222) and more importantly

a Perlisten Sub owners forum (https://www.avforums.com/threads/pe...ral-discussion.2398433/page-124#post-32445283)

All three can give you excellent answers and suggestions for waveforming questions and sub options.

I've been there, thanks lol. I mostly wanted just opinions on size/power recommendations for room size. Also if anyone has the aforementioned models.

Nope!

Otherwise I would do will use the processor for calibration and hope it works!

I would still ask on the Britain Perlisten sub forum. They have more Perlisten sub use than we do. Perlisten has a British distributor and is easy to obtain.

Hey All - I want to create a thread for Perlisten owners. The purpose is to discuss all things related to Perlisten speakers, including but not limited to:

• Optimal placement
• Proper amplification
• Other equipment/brands that works well with Perlisten
• New products from Perlisten
• Or for those who are interested in Perlisten speakers, you can come here to ask any questions you may have.

Please stay on topic.

Do the perlisten D215s require a 20 amp line? The manual requests it. Do most owners run separate dedicated lines or use a 15 amp line and let the on board computer make adjustments?

 

[Golfx]

I have read posts on Avs sub forum about incredible amount of subs and electronics on a single 15 amp circuit.

I already had 3 20 amp lines so I use 20 amp. No one will discourage you from adding 20 amp lines.
