@gadgetfreaky wow! Sorry to here it. Again I’m at firmware v1.23 and I’m not gonna change it.
This would really bother me, and you seem to have more patience and tolerance then I do. Seriously keep it up.
But to end on a positive, I also have a pair of JL E112’s, and Bower’s and Wilkens DB2D's. The D12 Perlistens are without a doubt the most linear and smooth sounding of them all. They might not be everyone’s cup of tea, maybe akin to a Magico Speaker. But it’s so cool to hear a product that as soon as it fires up your like "I’ve never heard the music and bass sound like this before."
I love the D12, but for the Money I can’t say enough about the E112. They’re fantastic and the low pas high pass filter is a game changer. I have an external JL sub crossover with the D12’s to high pass my Sopra ’s while sending a full signal to the persistent to do the low passing.
This D12 Sopra combo has been my favorite so far. Sadly my DB2D pair hasn’t really wowed me. I do feel their sound mode selection defaults (music vs movie) does have an appreciable difference, but feel like maybe they don’t dig as deep as their specs would lead you to believe. But again this is early impressions in a horrible room, and I wanted them enough to buy them and don’t regret it.
The DB2D subwoofers are my new pair of subs and I have them with Technics SU-R1000 in my Gym, which again doesn’t do them any justice. But we’ll see, I have 5 pairs of subs in counting, and I haven’t even tried out my Zu subwoofer yet.
