What customers say
The Diptyque DP115 speakers earn high praise, especially for their sonic realism and expansive soundstaging, characteristic of quality planar magnetic designs. Users consistently note exceptional transparency, speed, and natural timbre, making vocals and acoustic instruments sound incredibly immediate and lifelike. The mid-range is frequently described as liquid and detailed. While the sound quality is transformative, achieving optimal performance requires careful setup. These speakers demand significant space, needing ample distance from rear walls for proper dipole radiation. Furthermore, they are current hungry, requiring powerful, high-quality amplification to control the lower frequencies effectively. Despite these system synergy demands, the DP115 offers world-class, open baffle sound that rivals much costlier conventional speakers.
Know before you buy
These speakers have a sensitivity of 86 dB and an impedance of 6 Ohms. We recommend using an amplifier with at least 60 watts of power to ensure they perform at their best.
Unlike traditional speakers that use a cabinet, the DP115 uses a ribbon tweeter and a large-surface bass-midrange driver. This design provides exceptional speed, transparency, and a more immersive soundstage while maintaining a remarkably thin 22mm profile.
Their slim 22mm profile and elegant design make them very easy to integrate into most interiors. Because they are floorstanding dipole speakers, they perform best when given a little space from the front wall to allow the sound to develop fully.
Yes, Diptyque offers 160 different RAL colors, allowing you to tailor the aesthetic to match your specific decor. The speakers also feature high-quality black felt edging by LAOUREUX for a refined, professional finish.
It means the speakers are constructed so that individual components can be serviced or replaced over time rather than requiring the entire unit to be discarded. This commitment to longevity ensures your investment remains functional for many years.
The DP115 features a large 0.198m² bass-midrange driver capable of reaching down to 40 Hz. For most music listening, this provides a full and satisfying low-end response without the need for an additional subwoofer.
