Perlisten S5t Floorstanding Speaker; Each

The Perlisten S5t is born from the success of its larger sibling, the S7t, engineered to deliver a world-class, reference-level performance in a more compact form. This is not a compromised design; it is a distillation of excellence, created for discerning listeners and perfected for rooms where the flagship's scale is not required. The S5t delivers breathtaking dynamics and a holographic soundstage, borrowing its core technologies directly from the S-Series flagship. It offers unparalleled versatility, with configurable bass alignment and dual THX certifications, making it a masterful performer for both the purest two-channel listening and the most demanding home cinemas.

Key Features

• THX Certified Dominus & Ultra: The S5t is certified for THX Dominus as surrounds and THX Ultra for LCR applications, guaranteeing elite cinematic performance.
• Proprietary DPC-Array: The heart of the S5t is the patent-pending DPC-Array, featuring a central 28mm Beryllium tweeter flanked by dual 28mm TeXtreme TPCD mid-range domes for phenomenal accuracy and dispersion control.
• Beryllium Tweeter: A 28mm Beryllium dome provides incredible high-frequency detail and extension, delivering sound up to 32kHz with pristine clarity and without breakup.
• TeXtreme TPCD Woofers: Two 180mm TPCD (Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm) woofers provide bass that is incredibly fast, articulate, and powerful, reaching down to an in-room response of 20Hz.
• Configurable Bass Alignment: Uniquely designed to be configured as either a bass reflex (ported) or acoustic suspension (sealed) system, allowing for perfect integration into any room.
• Advanced Crossover & Cabinet: Built from High Density Fiberboard with a curved front baffle and a meticulously engineered crossover to seamlessly blend the output of all drivers.
• Exceptional Build Quality: From the rock-solid HDF cabinet to the stunning high-gloss finishes and robust outrigger feet, every detail of the S5t exudes quality.

A New Dimension in Sound

The Perlisten S5t projects a soundstage that is holographic in its depth and astonishing in its precision. This is the magic of the DPC-Array at work. By carefully controlling the speaker's dispersion pattern, it minimizes early reflections from the floor and ceiling, delivering a pure, coherent wavefront directly to your ears. This results in imaging so precise that the speakers seem to vanish, leaving only the musicians and the performance in the room with you. Vocals are rendered with uncanny realism, and instruments are placed with pinpoint accuracy, creating an immersive experience that is simply sublime.

Power and Finesse in Harmony

Don't let its more compact size fool you; the S5t is a dynamic powerhouse. The dual 180mm TPCD woofers, made from an advanced, lightweight carbon fiber, move with incredible speed and control, delivering bass that is both deeply impactful and full of texture and nuance. Whether it’s the pulsating beat of an electronic track or the subtle resonance of a cello, the S5t reproduces low frequencies with an authority and finesse that is truly addictive. It’s a speaker that can handle the most demanding passages with ease, never losing its composure or clarity.

Versatility Without Compromise

The true genius of the S5t lies in its adaptability. It is one of the very few speakers in the world that can claim to be a master of both music and movies. Its THX Ultra and Dominus certifications are your assurance of cinematic excellence. For the two-channel purist, its ability to be run as a sealed or ported speaker allows for perfect bass tuning to your specific room acoustics. The S5t proves that you don't have to choose between a world-class stereo setup and a reference-level home theater; you can have both in one beautifully engineered package.
