Perlisten R5t (pack of 2)
Specifications and features
Overview
The Perlisten R5T is a 3-way floor-standing speaker that combines power and compactness to deliver a complete audio experience. Designed to meet the expectations of audiophiles, this speaker stands out for its sound quality and technical performance.
Cutting-edge technology for superior sound
The Perlisten R5T incorporates advanced audio technologies to ensure precise and balanced sound reproduction. At the heart of this speaker lies the DPC-Array system, featuring three 26 mm silk domes. This configuration ensures controlled directivity and remarkable sound coherence. Two 165 mm drivers with HPF diaphragms complement the setup, delivering an extended frequency response and deep bass.
The 3-way bass reflex alignment and acoustic suspension allow the R5T to adapt to various listening environments. This flexibility is a major advantage for audiophiles looking to optimize sound performance based on their listening space.
Exceptional sound performance
The Perlisten R5T is distinguished by its outstanding audio performance. With a sensitivity of 89.0 dB / 2.83v / 1.0m and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, this speaker offers high energy efficiency while being compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.
Its linear frequency response from 80 to 20 kHz (+/-1.5 dB) highlights the R5T’s precision in sound reproduction. This speaker is capable of capturing the subtlest nuances of music, from deep bass to crystal-clear highs, without noticeable coloration or distortion.
Elegant and functional design
Despite its impressive performance, the R5T maintains relatively compact dimensions for a floor-standing speaker. Standing 110 cm tall, 23 cm wide, and 35 cm deep, it integrates seamlessly into most interiors. Its weight of 26.5 kg per speaker ensures optimal stability, reducing unwanted vibrations.
The piano black finish gives the R5T a timeless elegance that complements any decor style. This understated yet refined design allows the speaker to blend into the background while making a statement when in action.
Remarkable versatility
The R5T excels in versatility. Whether for stereo music listening or as part of a home theater system, this floor-standing speaker adapts to all configurations. Its ability to reproduce a wide frequency range makes it an ideal choice for all music genres, from classical to rock, jazz, and electronic.
The recommended amplification power of 100 to 250W RMS allows the R5T to reach its full potential, even in large rooms. Its peak SPL capability of 113.0 dB at 1m ensures impressive dynamics, capable of handling the most intense passages without compression or distortion.
Prestigious certifications
The exceptional quality of the Perlisten R5T is confirmed by its THX Dominus and THX Ultra certifications. These industry-recognized labels guarantee high-level performance and impeccable sound quality. These certifications attest to the R5T’s ability to faithfully reproduce demanding cinematic soundtracks and music recordings.
An immersive listening experience
One of the R5T’s strengths lies in its ability to create a wide and deep soundstage. Thanks to its meticulous design and high-quality components, this floor-standing speaker delivers precise stereo imaging and remarkable spatialization. The listener is immersed in the music, perceiving each instrument with striking clarity.
The extended frequency response, particularly in the low frequencies, allows the R5T to reproduce fundamentals with authority. Whether it’s the impact of a kick drum or the depth of a double bass, this floor-standing speaker leaves nothing to chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the bass reflex mode and the acoustic suspension of the R5T?
The bass reflex mode uses a port to enhance low-frequency response, generally providing more impact and extension. Acoustic suspension, on the other hand, prioritizes precision and bass control. The R5T allows you to choose between these two configurations to best suit your room and listening preferences.
Is the R5T suitable for small rooms?
While the R5T is capable of filling larger spaces, it can also work well in smaller rooms. The option to seal the bass reflex port allows for adjustments to the low-frequency response to better match the acoustics of more modest spaces.
Is a subwoofer necessary with the R5T?
For most music applications, the R5T provides sufficient low-frequency extension without requiring an additional subwoofer. However, for home theater systems or for electronic music enthusiasts seeking extreme bass, adding a quality subwoofer can complement the ultra-low frequency response.
How does the R5T compare to competing models in its price range?
The R5T stands out with its unique DPC-Array system and exceptional sound performance. It offers a wider soundstage and more precise stereo imaging than many competitors, while maintaining remarkable tonal neutrality. Its THX Ultra certification also underscores its ability to deliver reference-level performance in demanding listening conditions.
How can I optimize the placement of the R5T in a room?
For optimal performance, place the R5T at least 20-30 cm away from rear and side walls. Experiment with toe-in (angling the speakers toward the listening position) to refine stereo imaging. Using decoupling spikes can also enhance bass precision by isolating the speakers from floor vibrations.
