#30 Perlisten R5t: $8,790 per pair Audio Advice eBay
Pros: Measures a -3dB extension point of 44.6Hz and a Harman-style -6dB in-room extension (lfx) of 29Hz, deep for a mid-size tower, with a strong 0.82 listening-window smoothness score and a predicted in-room smoothness of 0.63. THX Dominus and THX Ultra certified at a fraction of Perlisten’s S7t flagship price, and reviewers across Sound & Vision, Audiograde, SoundStage Ultra and HiFiReport all rated it highly for its class, with Audiograde naming it a Best of 2023 pick. Measured bass extension of 24Hz (-10dB).
Cons: On-axis deviation of 0.277dB and a pronounced -0.28dB per octave downward slope point to a warmer, less forward tonal balance, consistent with Sound & Vision’s review finding it leans analytical rather than warm and wanting more air in larger rooms. It’s sold only in Piano Black through specialty AV dealers, with per-unit pricing that varies noticeably by retailer.
How it compares: Just above it: Perlisten S7t - $17595 more, 3.2Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Dynaudio Evoke 50 - $1104 more, 2Hz lower bass extension (-3dB).
