(February 17, 2022) Perlisten Audio is arriving at this weekend's Florida Audio Expo with an all-new series of speakers in tow. Dubbed the "R Series," it consists of six different models – a center, surround, bookshelf, monitor, and two tower options – headlined by a 50" tall, 105-pound beast called the R7t.
The R7t has the unique distinction of receiving THX Ultra Certification for use as an LCR channel, and THX Dominus Certification when deployed as a surround speaker. Dominus represents THX's latest stamp of approval, only awarded to speakers capable of top performance in home theaters with up to 6500 cubic feet of space and viewing distances up to 20 feet.
“THX Certified Dominus is one of the hardest specifications in the industry to meet,” explains Perlisten Audio's CEO, Dan Roemer. “There is a clear, demonstrable benefit that music and movie lovers appreciate out of the box.” He continued, “Since we first appeared on the scene early last year, the S series – and the S7t in particular – is continually lauded for its detail, range, and sense of realism, and the THX Certified Dominus achievement bridges the gap between home and commercial theater performance. The R Series is a further expression of our commitment to creating the ultimate listening experience, with technologies and designs that are unique to Perlisten Audio products.”
Presenting three 26mm silk dome tweeters and four 165mm woofers comprised of HPF cone material, the R7t muscles playback from 27Hz to 32kHz with both ports open and 38Hz to 32kHz with both ports plugged. Perlisten says its HPF material (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) utilizes a mixture of long fiber hardwood, bamboo, and wool to produce a "detailed, full range response without coloration." Matching its imposing nature on paper, the speaker's 4 ohm, 90dB sensitivity, speaks to a speaker that likes to be properly fed. Perlisten recommends tapping amplification that ranges between 100 to 400 Watts RMS.
Priced at $4,995/each, the R7t is available now in Piano Black. A Piano White version is pegged as "coming soon." For more information about Perlisten Audio's R Series of speakers, visit the Florida Audio Show from February 18-20 in Tampa, Florida, or go to www.perlistenaudio.com.
