Shane, I am speechless…endgame sub, hands down. I got 2 for the room and, if anything you undersold how unbelievably awesome these are. Thanks, sir!!!
It's crazy being in an apartment with this type of setup 😂
Thanks Shane I bought the Trinnov based on your review and love it. I went all in on Perlisten. I have two D215S and two D212S with their S7T S7C and the S4S surrounds. They are without a doubt the best speakers I have owned. I had a pair of REL subwoofers and these crushed the REL's If you have the chedder and your girls permission run don't walk to Perlisten!

@chaddone As much as they are great they vastly overpriced also. For the price of single D215s you could have 2 stack of two Arendals 1723 1v and still change left while it would absolutely own Perlisten. You pay a lot for this extra output in single box and certification. Not worth it. Worth mentioning same guy who designed Perlisten designed Arendals also. Their towers are excellent value and excellent performance also but admittedly don’t look as nice as Perlisten. Nevertheless if cost doesn’t matter they are one of the best if not the best speakers around. Enjoy!

I was waiting for so long for this review, thanks Shane you confirmed my thoughts about this subwoofer.
Saw and met the Perlisten guys at CEDIA this year but was totally bummed out that they didnt have a demo room. Perlisten was at the top of my list for demo rooms but alas…Great review as always.
Been looking forward to this review even though it may be out of reach right now Thnx Shane 🍺
This is bucket list stuff! I wish I could afford this… maybe if I get lucky and fall into some money. Thanks for sharing!
Just bought a D215S. Can’t wait!
I bet that demo was CRAZY!! But fun!
Wow that's gotta be the biggest home theater sub ive seen! 200 lbs...dam that's some serious weight!!! That's one premium subwoofer, sounds amazing!
Gosh dang, this thing looks sweet! I have a feeling it's superior to the x15+ I'm looking forward to seeing from you. I hope it at least swings close. Man If I didn't live in North Dakota I would go to a show room and at least be able to catch a real live demo of these.
Sweet can't wait to pick one u- • 8,995... Alright then I will enjoy what I got.
Saving for two of this. Dream subs
Yeah, one day I gonna own one for sure! :)
Wow! Welch ein Koloss! Fantastic!
Hey Shane, this is Shane, if you want another demo to check out for SOLID bass, check out Don't Breathe. Lots of super low bass, especially when the first kid gets shot. Just in case you are looking to expand your demo material, I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the movie.
In a word...WOw! Shane once again-- another stellar audio product review! I wish I had the spare change, I would buy one right now!

Thanks for the review. I am interested in the performance of the d215s for stereo music, how it blends with fast main speakers. Have you hear the Rel 32 or Rel 25? Could you compare with the d215s? Thanks
Nice video how dose it compare to m & k subwoofer because they are the only one with a similar sub
Shane, can we get a playlist of the music you have on your videos? You be playing from fresh music!
Fun to watch a review of a sub that seems to be perfect for everything. It’s nice to know that it is possible to have your cake and eat it too, as long as you have the $$$$ for some pricey cake. If I win the lotto, a full Perlisten system would be my first purchase. But until then, I’m looking at subs that are closer to $2k. Maybe someday you’ll have the Monolith 16 in your home theater. I’m curious how well it would do for you.

Just curious, how big is your theater room Shane? Thanks
I made my own 15” subwoofer, tuned at 30hz but I can tell you, that thing creates such an atmosphere especially in a big room like we have. The sun is from a PA system and it it’s 600w it’s very heavy too and the bass is so intense that I almost cracked the drywall beside it. I have also a small 8inch that can reach 25hz but I rarely use it because my big sub sound way better lol

Hey, any chance you could get a Monoprice Monolith 16 in for testing? I haven't seen many reviews, and with it being an 18" (by measurement) subwoofer, I'd be interested to see how it performs.
There you have it folks, ideal positioning for the ultimate SW is near field with 3kW of power. 🤯
Have you ever heard a Paradigm Sub 2? If so, how would that compare to the D215s?
Yes Please.

You should also compare this to the M&K X15+ subwoofer, which I believe was the first Dominus Certified subwoofer. But it's also 3KW (Short Term) vs 700W RMS. You never know. The M&K might give it a run for its money.

The Perlisten D215S is a carbon copy of the M&K X15. Lars Johansen was bought out of M&K and started Perlisten. He took all his knowledge from M&K with him to Perlisten. That´s why Perlistens products have so many features directly copied from M&K. They even include a set of white gloves with the D215S, something M&K have done with their Thx products for ages. Allthough the D215S looks sweet, I´d definately go with the M&K X15+ instead. Same technology but 2000$ cheaper
One of these or two PB16 ultra's.... Any thoughts?
Hey Shane have you ever reached out to Funk Audio to review their subwoofers?

Love the review. Thinking about replacing my 4x18 PA jbl subs in my new theather. I love the punch in the jbl's, but miss LFE below 20HZ. My question: with a room of 4x5meters (ish), will a single d215S or dual D115S be a better option? The placement of a single D215S will be in the center back, but 2x single 15 will go nicely below the screen. Any thoughts?

Just wondering how these super expensive subs could bring out some punch on those films that don't have a lot of bass.

Thanks Shane for your review, have really been looking forward to it. NO doubt that D215S is a beast, the question is 1 REL 1510 Pred will give you around 95 DB at 7 HZ, when looking at your previous review. For the same money for 1 Perlisten D215S you can get 4 REL 1510, I know that 4 REL will be a smoother an even out dips, but would you still recommend 1 Perlisten D215S over 4 REL 1510, it would very much appreciated for your comments.

My guess is, if a person can afford to buy one D215s they can probably find a way to buy 2 of them. So now it becomes a question of what brand of 4 subs would sound better or out do a pair of D215s subs because I don’t think the majority of Perlisten buyers are going to buy just one D215s

Wow, very lofty comments Shane. So given the impact we contour to hear about the benefits of dual/multiple subs….would you suggest that if at a certain budget point “ one of these” or two decent subs say at half the price? Essentially asking if with the DSP, size, and push pull dual design,,,,is it good enough to work with just one of these bad boys in say a room 16 x20 9 foot ceilings? I am currently running 4 lower end 12” and bass is ok, but boomy, sounds like 4 budget subs …if I was ready to spend the cake needed to buy one of these, or am I still better off to go with two subs at half the cost each ? Thanks.
