So this announcement came somewhat out of the blue - a new limited edition speaker of the largest, flagship product from Perlisten the S7t.
S series speakers are already exceptional as far as sonic performance, in-room response, finish and completeness of the range is concentred. Utilising Perlisten's unique DPC (directivity pattern control) which controls dispersion of mid/high frequencies via a mid-tweet-mid module, Perlisten created a product with the S series which features a Beryllium tweeter and dual TPCD (thin ply carbon diaphragm) midrange units and carbon fibre woofers, all with a strong magnet system and incredible cabinet design to create a solid, high performing loudspeaker for 2 channel HiFi and AV use.
One has to ask - how do you improve upon this?
Well - I was fortunate to spend 30-40 mins with Dan Roemer (CEO and designer of Perlisten) on the launch day plus a few hours opposite him at dinner the next evening talking product roadmap, innovation, plans for the future etc.
In short - there was a lot of learning on the S series and already, they know what they would need to do to improve further the range but like all things with R&D and production, you have to draw the line somewhere to launch a product.
The S7t limited edition speaker is Perlisten flexing their brain power and releasing some of that learning into a no-compromise product.
Some of the highlights (you can read more on the product description below) but for what matters:
- isoAcoustics GAIA feet designed specifically for the S7t are incorporated into the design
- A heavier 20mm aluminium base plate to make the speakers even heavier
- The sidewall of the original speaker has been opened up internally to give an extra 8% volume with a new curved carbon fibre skin - adding width and a different profile to the speaker cabinet
- A new CNC aluminium DPC which mounted to it is the totally redesigned and high performance crossover
- A new woofer design with an extra 20% output (linearity) with lower distortion and greater output - giving 20hz + performance to this incredible speaker
- Limited to 50 pairs worldwide
- Dan Roemer (CEO) personally picks, matches and calibrates each pair before signing them by hand on their way out.
- Improved speaker terminal design - the outputs are HUGE
I was delighted to conclude the first sale of these speakers whilst in the room with the team and have a few more pairs reserved for my customers. If you are interested - please let me know via return email and I'll get in touch to get your interest registered, a 50% deposit taken and a build slot ready. Shipping will be later this year (October - December) is what we understand currently so plenty of time to get your funds sorted out.
