#21 Perlisten R4b: $2,695 each Audio Advice eBay
Pros: The Ear’s dedicated review called it excellent value that punches well above its weight, and the measurements back it up: a 0.209dB on-axis deviation and 0.676 listening-window smoothness that are strong for a sealed standmount this size. THX Ultra certified, with a 3-way DPC-Array design (dual midrange domes flanking the tweeter) that’s unusual at this price.
Cons: Sealed acoustic-suspension loading trades reach for control: the measured -3dB point is 80.3Hz, the shallowest bass extension of any Perlisten model in this batch. It’s sold only in Piano Black through specialty AV dealers rather than mainstream retail.
How it compares: Just above it: AsciLab F6Bs - 0.6Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Arendal 1528 Monitor 8 - $3305 more, 0.2Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
