@thyname Yes and no go. The bass on the Allexx V is so low, articulate, and fast that I felt the D212 muddled things up. They are now in my HT system. Replaced my pair of M&K 350's that were 20 years old.
Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house.
Lots of interest in subwoofers these days so I decided to take the plunge. My listening room is large 17’W x 32”D x 16’ vaulted ceilings with an open back wall into other rooms. Current speakers Wilson Alexia 1, Classe Delta Mono’s, and VAC Signature 11a SE. Originally was going to buy REL G1 mark 2 but decided to take a chance on the Perlisten as its newer tech and specs looked very good. At first I thought speaker level connection was the way to go and it may be with a tube power amp rig. The argument of passing through the “color” of your amp kinda made sense. But I run very neutral solid state power amps and any power “amp” color still goes though the sub’s power amps which adds its own sound thus that argument made less sense to me and my system. I’m also lucky that my pre has two XLR outs for bi-amping. I am still breaking in these subs so I have decided to not try a detailed matching to my floor standers yet. I will say this. They are currently set at 80htz low pass with no other DSP adjustment. The SQ is great! They have a very articulate and fast bottom end that amazingly “pairs” well with my Wilsons with no tweaking. The soundstage has increased and there is a better foundation to the music. Will provide further assessments after break-in.
