Perlisten hasn't announced the bookshelf version of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/perlisten-s7t-black-edition\"\u003eS7t Black Edition\u003c\/a\u003e yet.

The waveguide that holds them is CNC-machined from a single 40mm billet of aluminum, and it doubles as a heatsink that keeps all three tweeters at an even operating temperature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A TPCD Textreme woofer with a redesigned voice coil that uses longer windings, a secondary aluminum shorting ring and an external copper heatsink. On the S7t Black Edition, Perlisten credits this motor with 20% more linear excursion, reduced inductance and lower distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum side panels, which add mass and improve damping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhen the S4b Black Edition Arrives\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd your email on this page and we will let you know the day it lands.
