Perlisten S7t Limited Edition loudspeaker review
While some emerging hifi brands take years, decades even, to settle into their stride in terms of fit, finish and sounds, Perlisten hit the ground running from the get-go. As despite being less than ten years old and even newer to UK shores, this is a loudspeaker manufacturer that’s released products which are every bit as fully fledged as the best in the business from day one, as we discovered when we reviewed its R5t model.
And this is in part due to the combined experience of those at the brand’s top table, which draws on decades of working with a range of renowned global brands before forming Perlisten. That’s all well and good, but it’s how this experience translates into a brand’s sonic capabilities that really counts.
We first got wind of this no-compromise S7t Limited Edition model at last year’s UK Hi-Fi Show Live, when the standard S7t (£19,000) was being driven with jaw-dropping results by multi-amped Primare electronics. This led us to sit down with both Primare’s Terry Medalen and Perlisten’s Erik Wiederholtz, to chew the cud on what had gone into this stunning system. “If you think these are good, wait until your hear the LE version” quipped Erik, and wait we did, as these puppies have been in high demand ever since.
