From reading the Rythmik site and Brian's comments, the 15 and 12 sound the same, with 3-4dB more output on the 15".

The black oak and grille are definitely black. I will try to get some pictures up tonight.

Thanks Curtis,

I would really appreciate that.

FWIW, I think the f12 sounds great, but I don't think one is enough for my room. (3,000+ cubic feet) I would definitely look at the f15 if it is dark enough to match my black wood surround speakers.

I got caught up in the Laker game....I will get to the pictures today.

F15 is absolutely black. There is no hint of blue. you may not beleive that. I shoot the photos myself and my webmaster used Photoshop to touch them up. The bluish hue is because I didn't use the correct auto white setting. Shooting black objects is very hard as it tests the linearity of low level in CRT/plasma monitors, but the linearity of high level in LCD monitors. Neither one of them is easy.

I ran audyssey with my setup and I don't think one f12 is enough for me. Like I said before, it sounds great, but I want a little more output. So, I'm thinking of getting an f15 or d15se to put in the corner of the room.



Below is a pic of my surround speaker. It's wood, but it's a glossy black.




How does this finish compare to the f15?

I will also be getting hardwood floors, so what do you think? d15se or f15? Thanks.


I still would like pics of the f15 and the d15se if anyone can please post them. Thanks.

SoCal, the F15 has a very similar finish to your Difinitive speakers. It is definitely black, both cabinet and grill. I am very impressed with the F15 both in music and movies. We watched "Australia" last night, and the scenes with the galloping herds of wild horses shook the house. With music, I feel the F15 is a match for the woofer section of tower speakers. I have had no regrets in my purchase decision.

OK....I just snapped some pictures. Hope this helps.

Well, I have one f-12 and it sounds very nice. However, I need to put the level at 2-3 o'clock to get the response that I like. Audyssey has set the sub gain at +5dB as well. Does this sound right?

How would I most benefit, with another f12 or to just get one d15? Aesthetically wise, either will do. But, getting 2 f12s will be almost twice the price.

Lastly, how is the LFE signal handled if I had a dual f12 setup. Is the signal sent equally to the 2 subs. Someone in another forum had said that the sound quality went down with the more subs he added. I think that he had a Sony receiver.

Forgive my noobness.

Thanks for the pics, Curtis. It is a nice looking sub.
