ooof.... fuuuuugly!

 

[Krusty09]

Ouch. That hurts to look at.

 

[NiagaraPete]

And some call Genelec ugly, hmfff

 

[AudioJester]

Clearly function over aesthetics!

Perlisten is in a different price range to Arendal. At least with their previous ranges

 

[muslhead]

Surprisingly thin.

 

[Flexecutioner]

I don't mind the waveguide overlapping other drivers as much as the decision to blatantly bolt another front baffle to a cabinet to accommodate the design.

 

[valerianf]

Awful !!!

My first thought.

Interesting. A grill would help though.

Also, reminds me of these

Why in one photo is the two way sitting on a magazine ?

That speaker is meant to be wall mounted, its a angled surround speaker.
Does not have footers/feet like the others. Magazine protects surface of bench and bottom of speaker

Oh ok thanks for that, for the purposes of a photo shoot why not show it mounted in place?
I thought the photos were taken by an owner in his house!
Thanks for clearing that up Jester.

Perlisten is about to release the first THX Dominus certified in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. That is what we are looking at.

Looks like they want the acoustic centers close for better vertical dispersion while still having the benifits of a large waveguide. Trying to have cake and eat it. Be intresting to see how these measure with diffraction being a thing.

Always wondered how these speakers performed.
