Short answer: the Revel Performa4 F346. It ranks #39 of 226 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $6,999.90. The Perlisten A4t ranks #79, rated 4.3/5, at $6,990, $9.90 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The case for the Revel Performa4 F346: The Performa4 flagship tower, with three 6.5” ceramic composite woofers, a 6.5” midrange and a 1” ceramic dome tweeter in Revel’s seventh generation Acoustic Lens waveguide (crossovers at 275Hz and 1.7kHz). The catch: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Revel F208.
Why pick the Perlisten A4t: A larger A series tower with three 215mm carbon woofers. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
Buy the Revel Performa4 F346. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $9.90 saving on the Perlisten A4t is not enough to make up the difference.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Revel Performa4 F346 4.1 to 4.8; Perlisten A4t 4.0 to 4.6). Treat this verdict as provisional.

Revel Performa4 F346: $6,999.90 per pair Estimated Audio Advice eBay
Same family: the Revel Performa4 M145 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.3/5), the Revel Performa4 M146 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4.5/5), the Revel Performa4 F345 (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 4.4/5) and the Revel Performa4 C245 (center, estimated 4/5). See every Revel Performa generation.
Pros: The Performa4 flagship tower, with three 6.5” ceramic composite woofers, a 6.5” midrange and a 1” ceramic dome tweeter in Revel’s seventh generation Acoustic Lens waveguide (crossovers at 275Hz and 1.7kHz). Bass is rated to 30Hz (-6dB), so most rooms won’t need a subwoofer for music. The Revel F208 it follows measured a 6.35 Spinorama preference score, among the best for any tower.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Revel F208. It weighs 39.7kg each and sensitivity is 88dB into 6 ohms, so it suits larger rooms and capable amplifiers.
