Perlisten S5t white lacquered (pack of 2)

The Perlisten S5t floorstanding speakers represent a significant advancement in the world of high-fidelity audio. Designed by the American brand Perlisten, they incorporate cutting-edge technologies and deliver outstanding sound performance, all in a more compact format compared to the S7t model.

Revolutionary Technology at the Heart of the Sound

At the core of the S5t is Perlisten’s patented DPC (Directivity Pattern Control) system. This innovative setup features a 28 mm beryllium tweeter flanked by two 28 mm TPCD (Thin-Ply Carbon Diaphragm) midrange drivers. The entire assembly is housed within a specially designed waveguide to optimize sound dispersion.

This unique configuration enables precise directivity control, providing a wide and coherent soundstage across a large listening area. The result is a remarkably stable and accurate stereo image, regardless of the listener’s position in the room.

Deep and Controlled Bass

Complementing the DPC system, the S5t speakers are equipped with two 180 mm TPCD woofers. Positioned above and below the DPC module, these bass drivers ensure deep and controlled low-frequency reproduction.

The bass-reflex design, featuring two downward-facing ports, achieves impressive frequency extension, reaching as low as 24 Hz (-10 dB). To accommodate different room setups, Perlisten provides plugs that allow the S5t to be converted into sealed speakers, altering their bass response.

Transparent and Dynamic Sound

The combination of the DPC system and high-performance woofers gives the S5t an exceptional sound signature. Transparency and precision are evident across the entire audible spectrum, from the deepest bass to the most crystalline highs.

Another standout feature is their dynamic range. Capable of reproducing the subtlest nuances, the S5t also excels in delivering intense passages without any audible compression. This versatility makes them ideal for both intimate acoustic music and the most energetic genres.

Meticulous Design in Every Detail

The S5t speakers also shine in terms of aesthetics. Their sleek and modern design blends seamlessly into any interior. The cabinet, crafted from high-quality HDF (High Density Fiberboard), features extensive internal bracing to minimize unwanted vibrations.

Available finishes include gloss black, gloss white, and a premium ebony option. The impeccable build quality reflects Perlisten’s attention to detail in every aspect of the design.

Remarkable Versatility

While designed to deliver optimal performance in stereo setups, the S5t integrates perfectly into a high-end home theater system. Their THX Dominus certification attests to their ability to produce high sound levels without distortion, even in large rooms.

With a sensitivity of 89.5 dB (2.83V/1m) and a nominal impedance of 4 Ω, these speakers are relatively easy to drive. However, Perlisten recommends an amplifier power range of 100 to 300 W RMS to fully unleash their potential.
