Per Perlisten, the X5w delivers the most precise vertical and horizontal control in the X-Series lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of the Perlisten X5w\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-Way Acoustic Suspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e True three-way design with dedicated bass drivers, midrange drivers, and tweeter, not a stretched two-way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e38mm Silk Dome Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounted in a custom waveguide that tightly controls both vertical and horizontal dispersion, so the sound doesn't smear off-axis or splash off the ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree 5.5\" Carbon Fiber Woofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two of the three are high-excursion drivers, giving real low-end output from a slim cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e92dB Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to drive with typical AV receivers and modest amplifiers. 50 to 200 watts recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100mm Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sits flush enough for living rooms and dedicated theaters where a bulky speaker would dominate the wall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin Black or Satin White:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both finishes ship with matching perforated grills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Mounting Kit Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wall bracket, angle bracket, and grill are all in the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Perlisten Audio\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerlisten is a Wisconsin-based speaker company built by engineers from the pro-audio and home-theater worlds. The brand made its name producing the world's first THX Dominus certified loudspeakers. The X-Series extends Perlisten's controlled-dispersion waveguide approach into on-wall and in-ceiling formats without the usual compromises of architectural speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eControlled Directivity in a Slim Enclosure\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn-wall speakers historically give up pattern control for depth. Once the cabinet shrinks, the tweeter ends up close to the wall and the midrange drivers start interacting with nearby surfaces, which smears imaging and exaggerates the room's worst bounces. The X5w's tweeter sits in a custom waveguide specified by Perlisten to control vertical and horizontal dispersion, which keeps the direct sound focused at the listener and pushes reflections into a more predictable envelope. The practical effect is a bigger sweet spot and imaging that holds up even when the speaker is mounted off-center on a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eThree-Way Driver Array\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning the X5w as a genuine three-way lets each driver work in the band where it performs best. Two of the three 5.5\" carbon fiber woofers are high-excursion models to generate real low-end output from a cabinet this thin, while the third handles midrange duty. The 38mm silk dome tweeter handles the top end through the custom waveguide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eDesigned for Stereo, LCR, and Immersive Systems\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X5w is equally at home as a stereo pair, a front LCR array for a 4K or 8K display, or the front three channels in a 7.2.4 or Atmos system. All X-Series on-walls share the same 38mm silk dome tweeter, so mixing X-Series sizes across channels keeps the tonal character of the top end consistent. The X5w pairs with dedicated subwoofers for the low end below 60Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eBuild, Finish, and Installation\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is 740mm tall, 200mm wide, and only 100mm deep, and it weighs 20kg. Both Satin Black and Satin White finishes are smooth and low-sheen so the speaker doesn't throw reflections back into the room or pick up glare from a projector. The mounting bracket and angle bracket in the box let you orient the speaker vertically or toe it in slightly where the room calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eExplore the Full Perlisten X-Series\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X5w is the flagship of Perlisten's X-Series on-wall and in-ceiling lineup.
