Is there another brand that has received more positive press than Perlisten in 2022? I had to find out for myself if the hype was real or if it was just the latest "speaker of the month". In this Perlisten S4B review, we compare the Perlisten sound to other high end speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, Wharfedale, Focal and Revel. Are these the best high end speakers for home theater?

Your voice is magic!
Feel’s that you are in a studio and doing a voiceover.
Quality is so crisp but a good soft touch.
What do you record your audio and video with?
These are, and the brand as a whole, some of THE best speakers I have ever heard (as you would say), FULL STOP!!! I would have loved that you guys had gotten 5 of them, plus, say a D12 subwoofer, then done the review. I am 100% positive you would get over the styling really fast. IMHO, I love how they look, sans the grills, particularly the patterns on the woofer, and the waveguide. Yet, with all that being said, the ST7 Towers destroy these(no sub required). 🤔 also, I feel like if Andrew were still making films, he'd more than likely mix with these speakers. The line as a whole is cinema grade. If you're into home theater and want to feel as if you're on a sound stage, the Perlisten line is a no-brainer. I own several brands of speakers, which include Goldenear Triton Reference; Spatial Audio X4's, ML ESL 9's, and so on, each loved for different reasons. But if I were shutting it down, Perlisten S7t' s would most likely be where I'd stop. And this is before we even get to the subs...smdh! (Inttersting side note, Dan Roemer, the CEO and head designer at Perlisten, was also at Arendal) I DARE YOU ANDREW, get the S7T's and two D12/15 Subs, and see what happens. Love you guys, and all you do, although you spent WAAAAAY too much time talking about how the speakers looked, keep up the great work, and I look forward to the next video. 👍🏿 Peace ✌️
@Big Street Cinema Thank you. Here is my film kit: bit.ly/ARFilmKit
They don't look that bad to me, it looks like the design should reduce reflections. Andrew are you using homemade speaker cable or something off the shelf? Also how do you think the Polk R700's stack up against these?
Your reviews are super informative and easy for any consumer to understand. The comparisons to similarly priced speakers is super helpful for shoppers, and I think your wife’s takes are excellent adding another interesting perspective! Great video!
Perlisten is endgame dream speaker material. Maybe someday. Love their focus on engineering and technical performance.
First and foremost those two are "relationship goals" material. The more I listen to Andrew and Kristi the more I get to hear new technical lingo which I don't understand (let alone, many of those speakers are way above my pay grade -meaning it literally-) and for a reason and yet again I still click on the links from Andrew. I try to learn from you both and then I find myself treating the videos like they're ASMR videos. Love you both. Greetings from Istanbul Turkey :)
And the all-round best audio reviewer on TH-cam for 2022 goes to.... Andrew and Chriti Robinson...
You guys are unbelievably awesome in your analysis, comparisons and suggestions. Sundays and Thursdays now feel like the best days of the week for me because of you guys. I've made a couple of purchases, and very happy with every single one of them because I followed your suggestions.
May next year be better and more glorious for you.
Thanks for receiving my award!
A wonderful dream for a working man like me - both the Perlisten and Technics R1000.
Again, thanks to both you Andrew and Kristi for a dynamite video, and have a wonderful and safe Christmas!!
Kristi has my same tastes in bass so if she says these are perfect I believe her hahah. These are on my bucket list, it’s nice to have one pair of ultra neutral and perfect measuring speakers like this, then have some nicely flavoured speakers to swap in here and there for fun lol
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS,WE ARE CALMED DOWN KRISTI 🤗💚💚💚
I was going for, "I Don't Care"! 😆 🤣 😂
Solid audio reviews & comedy...priceless!
10:35 is the best advice for life and I'm taking it with me into 2023. LOL
This is the review I've waited on!!!! Wow!!! You've CONFIRMED a lot of what I already believed...The Perlistens are similar to the Revels which were similar to the Infinity MTS which are similar to the Infinity P-FR's and all measure similarly! Wow...just 👏!!!! Measurements and what you hear....oh I get the design...but you've already stated...and...😂😂😂!!!! Excellent and honest review!
Thanks! These are great speakers and the similarities to Revel cannot be denied. Appreciate you tuning in!
I am using these, with a good sub, for 2.1 channel channel home theater, as well as music. They are WAY better than the 5.1 system that they replaced. They are good close to a wall because they are sealed, not ported. This limits the bass extension, but makes them very easy to integrate with a sub. Mine actually sound a little better closer to the wall, even with the TV, which is really cool. Have used both SVS and Rel subs, and both work great. The Perlisten subs would almost certainly be the best if you can and want to spend that much. The Perlisten stands are super heavy and COOL LOOKING, but expensive. They help the appearance quite a bit, and the speakers actually attach to the stands. The looks of the speaker will probably not bother you after a while. If you get black, they kind of disappear in a dark home theater anyway--and as you said they disappear sonically. That is the best part.
Can confirm the stands are extremely heavy and cost prohibitive.
Yes I agree Perlisten speakers are on the pricey side and most likely not affordable for most people, but I must say they are, IMO, quite a beautifully designed speaker and the looks are quite appealing to me. Just an FYI, I’ve heard some reputable industry insiders say that the Perlisten CEO, Dan Roemer was the engineering and design mind behind Arendal Sound’s flagship 1723 series speakers.
You're in my wheelhouse now Andrew. I've personally auditioned Perlisten's S7t, R7t, S5M, R5M, BUT NOT the S4B. I prefer to not use subs in my two channel system, which the S4B definitely require (I do use two subs in my HT system). Conclusion, in my opinion Perlisten speakers are true high end Home Theater speakers, but not necessarily marketable or appealing to those of us who can afford $10K high end speakers. Whoever is considering the S4B, I encourage to audition Paradigm Persona 3F. Sonically, and aesthetically they are superior to S4B.
The Persona line has beryllium tweeter and midrange driver, additionally their soundstage is world class. Thank you Andrew and Kristi for continuing to provide your viewers with an extensively variety of Audio and Video product reviews.
Thanks for the review.
Nice review. I’d be curious to hear those in person. Agreed on the styling of 805 D4s compared to these. It took me a while to get used to the neutrality of Bowers and Wilkins 800s series versus 700s. It has grown on me, but your comment that the 805 D4s add a little bit of a color leans me to thinking between that and the styling, they are probably still my next pair of speakers for my integrated amp.
Good morning guys. That was worth the wait. Definitely out of my reach $$$. That frequency response is about as flat as I’ve ever seen, I completely agree about the appearance they look a bit cobbled together.
This speaker is so ruthlessly neutral but in a good way it's hard not to love. Thanks for watching!
Happy Sunday Andrew and Kristi. You have become part of my Sunday morning routine. I too am not a fan of the looks of this speaker. But if it blows you away sonically, just tell everyone to close their eyes and listen. I think for the price , there are more options that will get you close to the performance at a significantly lower price. Kristi with a magical email, hopefully you can get a review sample of Mofi’s Sourcepoint 10 speakers in for review. Now that’s a speaker that interests me. Cheers.
Good morning, Brian! We don't have any immediate plans for the Sourcepoint until perhaps later in 2023.
I wish there was more movie listening feedback from you guys other than that, great video!
This man is so underrated. Thank you for what you do!
I'm on the fence about the speakers but their subs(especially the D215)are on my must buy list.
I heard the Towers at the Capitol Audio Fest, the system made my top 3 list of all the rooms.
Glad you enjoyed CAF. We put a lot of time and planning in our 6 rooms at the show.
"Second favorite"!! Denon... This listener/follower/fan .. My current set up is the Denon Anniversary 110 with an Outlaw Sep Amp to assist in the fun... Currently using Dynaudio Floors... Keeping the model a secret just for fun.. You indicated that this Perlisten is "one of the best sounding speakers"... So that begs the question... What are you're 5 favorite speakers? Or is that a planned end of year video??!!:)). Yes, I watched the entire video... While typing .. So I heard there will be the "best".... I'm sure you'll consider breaking that list into various price points?? Keep up the good work, fun to listen...
Looks wise, I really like these.
I knew there would be someone who loved the design! I'm honestly surprised more haven't spoken up to say as much.
I think they look fantastic.
As mentioned, the price is 8000$.
I didn't weigh them (to heavy) but believe they are heavier as the depth isn't 7.3 in. (about 12 in.).
I'm listening to them without sub and are quite satisfactory. Nice review.
Great review as usual.
I appreciate that.
Great review! Would love for you to review some Tekton speakers and hear your thoughts.
Certainly on my wish-list, the S7t anyway. They do look better in person in their satin wood finish but are still on the form follows function side of things. Of course, one could say the same of the TAD ME-1 which would be a great speaker to compare with these 4bs.
Way out of my price range, but the product of theirs that really makes me drool is the D215s sub. Would love to see you guys review that.
Andrew, have you ever reviewed Ohm Walsh speakers. If not , might be worth a listen. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
Thanks for the review! I'd have to agree with Kristi, at this price I would need zero reservations. It would have to be a spiritual listening experience, along with having an "art piece" level of aesthetics.
100% Agree!
I discovered this channel this week and it’s currently my fav yt channel
I have been very curious to hear any Perlisten speakers. They seem to be the best of all worlds due to both design and hype: neutral, great but controlled dispersion, an *almost* concentric tweeter and midrange to improve imaging, extremely transparent and articulate and punchy, and all while being superior to nearly any other speaker brand at any price when it comes to dynamic range (especially for their larger speakers.) The hype compels me to want these as my end-game speakers, but I would really want to listen to them first before even thinking about saving up to spend that kind of money.
Would love for you guys to get a pair of KEF reference 1 metas and compare since they’re in the same price range and both are designed for neutrality and soundstage.
Watching in UK... As usual, I think you're both FABULOUS! 💛
I know that's not addressing your question of the day, but my enduring feeling after watching you both, is that I want to buy you tea and cake!! 💛😁💛
Best comment of the day!
You had me at cake!
@@KristiWright haha!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews as I'm British, my feelings are deeply repressed, so it's difficult to respond to that Andrew... But, I will say this... OMFG - yaaay! 😂💛😂
Wow! Stunning speaker! Cheers to you both and one of your coffees is on me today. ❤️❤️
So thoughtful ABX! Thank you and have a great Sunday.
Thank you so very, very much for the kind words and for the coffee! If you're a coffee man yourself, may I recommend Airship Coffee (it's what we drink).
@@andrewrobinsonreviews ohhh. Googling now. Thank you. 😉
@@abxaudiophiles Our specific bean is Black Bear.
Crazy how something small like these cost more than my Klipsch RF7iii. Btw you guys should review those that would be awesome.
The brand that came to market with no reputation but started with top end prices out of the gate lol. That's an approach it seems many fail at, but their performance lives up to their pricing structure.
After this, I hope you review the Dutch & Dutch 8C. I wonder if they can stand up to the Perlisten's.
What about the Sopra Bookshelfs which should be a more direct price comparison than either the Kanta or Diablo???
I know you have issues with acquiring Paradigm speakers, but the Founder series 120H in midnight cherry, compare what you get in styling,performance and value for a pair .
Great review as always !! Way out of my finances!! But still like to know what’s out there for any budget !!! Thanks ❤
Thanks so much! They're outside of my budget too, but like you, it's always nice to see where things are going.
Although not nearly as expensive depending on model. Have you consider reviewing Studio Electric’s M4 or much larger M5 speakers? The M4’s run around $3000 for a pair. The M5 $6700 for a pair. Would be interested in your opinion on either of these speakers. They seem to be more within an obtainable range for audiophiles. Anyhow, thanks to another great year of reviews. Keep up the great work. It is always great to get both opinions on products.
For a complete theater system would you use all bookshelves or do they have floor standing and center to complete the setup? But for the money they must sound great. Great review as usual. But, I still need your help with my Sony A9G tv eARC input drops at times for a few seconds at a time
I think they look great in white. 🙂
I hope you get to try the S7t
I would like to hear perlisten r7t could also be a speaker i upgrade to from my b&w 702 in the future. Proably the most intresing tower for me at 10k price range
Also the revel performa be (beryllium tweeter) would be an interesting comparison due to your comments about the revel’s sonics.
I was just going to ask you about the Elysian and then you addressed them 😅. Please do review the bookshelf Elysians! Or floorstanding 802/3/4s. I wonder if going up or down a range changes that much or if all you get is more bass?! Thanks!
Nice speakers.
Andrew, I don't know if you've already done a review for but please check out the Kali 5 and 8s. They have a pretty growing following for their price point.
Happy to comment to help the channel. $10k is outside my comfort zone.
i probably should redesign that front baffle, i wonder if i could make it look better....
of course sound quality and engineering choices comes first so i can not complain if all those shapes makes acoustical sense.
but those sharp edges i think could be softened.
Season greetings great review onces more thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks and happy holidays to you too!
Can you compare the perlisten s4b vs perlisten's r7t (same price).
Nice video - I skimp on finishes for sound but I don’t think I could pay $10k to look at these - curious how the Elysian 2 stack up sonically
They remind me of the speakers on the boom boxes from Aiwa/JVC/Sony from the late 90’s/early 2000’s
↑This. And … it’s not a compliment.
how do they compare to R11 META?
How do they compare to Arendal 1723 THX ?
Good job with the review. I'm sure they sound terrific, but I agree that for that kind of money, the styling isn't appealing enough. I also want near 20 hz extension if I'm paying $5K and up (these are twice that). Looks like the Perlisten guys are "no nonsense" types who want to build the best sounding speakers and appearance is a secondary consideration. I'd suggest Joseph Audio's Pulsar as a stand mount that looks appealing and sounds great as well. Hoping that Perlisten listens to the customers and improves their aesthetic approach. Their subwoofers look good and get rave reviews. Would love to hear all of their products.
What is the cheapest speaker with neutral sound? And think about the cost of speaker stands Could it be that a floor-standing speaker can be cheaper when you factor in that cost? And what do you say about Boston acoustics
Good review and thank you. But on a side note, you two are pretty cool and have a fun interaction on here. Andrew you are an excellent reviewer, and Kristi adds another welcomed perspective. Kristi you are too funny with the STFU.....:) But only in jest, lol.
What is “I don’t care” for $500, Kristi. Hahah!
Y’all are hilarious. Glad that little bit made the cut.
Oh it was always going to make the cut. Further proof that I have no idea what she's going to say when we get to the second half of the review! Thanks for tuning in!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews that’s fantastic!
And further proof that she always keeps it 💯
These seem nice. I question if they are “better”than the revels. People like I snub revel (audiogon…) but I have yet to find a better speaker regardless of cost.
I would love to see a head to head with the 328be and the biggest perlisten.
Would love to hear them! I most certainly can not afford.
Would love for y’all to evaluate Focal Sopra No 1 and compare to Perlisten..
Well, while I cannot make any comments on the sound quality, on looks alone, I'd take the Perlistens, especially in white as shown, over the 805 D4 any time. I find the 805's to be quite ugly and since I do agree with Kristi that looks are important too, and more so at those prices, I'd skip the B&W no matter how good they sound.
Happy Holidays!
I'd be curious how they would compare against KEF, Raidho, TAD, Paradigm ... to mention but a few in the same price range.
I enjoy Perlisten, but driving matching speakers (11) means a boatload of cash for seperates that can drive the 4 OHM load. lol Thanks and have a great holiday!
Thank you Andrew and Kristi. I am glad we reached out to you to make this review happen. A few notes, there are wood finishes in matte as well as gloss and we even make full 100% custom finishes. Depending on the model, I have a finish I prefer on the S4B, S5M, S7T and its a different finish per model, so let's get you more Perlisten to experience. Are you ready to review a Perlisten Subwoofer next? We have some ready for you! Steve Jain-Fidelity Imports
Hi Steve, we don't review subwoofers but we might be curious to use one in a future review. I think if Perlisten included more photos of the different finishes on their site, that would be helpful. Thanks for watching!
@@KristiWright We are ready when you are...Sent you an email. Truly believe an R series review while the S is still fresh in your heads is the next move. You get all the fundamentals of the S series, minus the exotic materials at nearly half the retail. We have some R7T or R5M we could send you way. Thank you both again!!!
I'll review your product line. Need an address? 😁
"What do you say to me?" "Shut the f&$k up!" "I was going for in don't care!" Hilarious 🤣
A large majority do prefer speakers to blend in with their decor so white, black or traditional wood finishes are preferable. Others like them to be the centrepiece of the room and extravagant finishes and designs are desired. I think in this particular case I am not a fan of this design though the white doesn’t bother me. I do like unusual finishes though. I bet these sound amazing though. I owned a McIntosh amp and a CD/SACD player in the past and damn, did I love those being the centrepiece of the room…even more than the speakers. Would be nice if more manufacturers explored more unique finishes and designs…
What is this favorite Apple Music playlist? I would really like to know
I've heard some of the bigger ones at an audio show and liked them but the price tags gives me pause considering they are made in China. When they build a track record for reliability maybe not an issue, but for now I'd probably wait for a little more data.
Visual style and acoustic perfection (as far as possible) are two reasons people buy speakers. But if you buy a pair of speakers based on looks alone you can miss out on the best sound. One of the reasons B&W or Perlisten have a good sound is the design of the front panel. Essentially, B&W, Perlisten and others utilize a technique to minimize the amount of wood surrounding the speakers removing as much as possible along with smooth rounding and tapering the wood away from the front panel to open up the sound. In-room frequency responses are better and this can enlarge the sound stage. I know this is probably not interesting to Kristi but it does explain why some speakers incorporate this design into their speakers. So many things can effect speakers but this is a design enhancement that design engineers can provide for out of the box. Little things can have big impact on sound quality. I saw a real time frequency response graph change drastically in a speaker face design when they moved the tweeter position placement by mere millimeters so a lot of engineering design goes into the speaker box. Unfortunately, this produces some strange looking speakers. And MERRY CHRISTMAS.
First! Never heard them but now very curious!!
Thanks for tuning in!
I would pay $5,000 to maybe $7,000 for the Perlistens pair, not $10,000. I know you guys don't have the Focal Sopra 1's, that would be an interesting comparison to the Perlistens. Great review! Cheers! 🔊🔊
One question, I want to make a home cinema for a 25 square meter room and I would like to know what speakers you would recommend for crystal clear sound, I don't want a lot of power, I want quality at low volume. (especially the voices and the small details are what interest me, I don't want my house to shake when there is an explosion hehe) I used Google Translate, I hope you understand! thank you very much
I hope you guys get to check out the Kudos Titan series of speakers. They are my favourites. They are quite high end but damn, they are my endgame speakers without a doubt.
Iam with Kristy on the looks for 10 Grand the speakers have to be the jewel of the living room not what ever the designer thought those are
Not everything concentrates on art deco for the budget.
i would love to see you test the penaudio's bookshelf
This vs Harbeth 30.2 or 40.3 is the comp that I first thought of.
What about the Magico?
In all of these reviews we keep hearing the Wharfedale Elysian as an alternative. I hope Wharfedale is hearing this and comes up with a new line that shares a lot of the Elysian's characteristics in a smaller form factor and at a lower price similar to what Q Acoustics did with the 50 and the 500. I think a speaker that has the finish and the sonic quality of the Elysian for $3,000-$3,500 would be something that people would consider seriously especially if it has wood finishes.
Especially now that B&W has priced themselves out of contention with the 700 S3 series.
The Elysian 2 rock
The looks
Maybe coming from the
perlisten s5m. As d’apolito it looks so much better
I heard a full perlisten system for the first time and wow, literally wow. Makes me want to throw my current system in the trash
First of all thanks you for your vIdeos . I am French and I find your Reviews are the best of you tube.
Do you plan to test the Advance Paris My Connect 250 all-in-one amplifier ?
Owner of focal aria 948, I wish to acquire an all in one and this model attracted my attention, but I did not have yet the occasion to listen to it
No current plans for that line of products.
I would love, love, love for you guys to review the Focal Sopras and compare them with these perlistens.. would bw awesome to hear your thoughts..I have a focal sopra 3 based system and when I was shopping around did compare these between the Kantas and Utopias.. I thought the Sopras sounded very close to the Utopias and couldn't justify the price difference between the two lines (but there was a pretty significant improvement between the Kantas and Sopras)... unfortunately no perlisten dealers near me so I couldn't compare but everyone I have spoken to have said these perlistens are close in performance to the Sopras.. you guys seem to like the Focals so figured I would throw that out there
Totally agree. Seems like the Sopra bookshelf is the closest Focal bookshelf that these should have been compared to
Great review guys! Thanks. I'd love to hear more about how the speakers and amps you two review make you feel and how they make the music sound.
Something from ATC would be a fantastic review.
I'm thinking the S7T floorstanders rather than the bookshelves, no need for stands and a more substantial speaker.
I forgot to ask! How would you describe the sonic differences between Perlisten and Arendal?
Andrew I haven't found any online reviews of the cheaper (slighty) R4B. Have you heard it or do you have any opinions? Thanks for all of your good work, king regards, John.
I'm considering buying them but not sure about the price, though they cost half, I still not sure they worth that kind of money. I think they should cut prices by half, and then they'll match the reality, they are not good looking and they sound very natural. I wasn't blown away by them when listening.
What's your favorite high end near field speaker that I can plug into my DAC and use as a PC speaker for YT videos and spotify. Im afraid of buying too high quality of a speaker and it sounding bad while listening to low quality sources.
He has reviewed and recommended the Tannoy Gold 5 for that.
May I wish I had a spare $10k. I'd jump on these.
Can you review the KERR ACOUSTIC K300 MK.3 ??
Wow you got it! But 10k is stupid. For that price how close is concept 50?
I would say if you are going to go spend 20k on focal evos dont. Get the QLN Signature for 24k. Best bookshelf I’ve ever heard.
