Perlisten R4b or R5t impressions?

[mjclarke]

I want to replace my 20 year old Mirage Omnisat v2 floorstanders and have been trying to find reviews of the Perlisten R4b and R5t, but there doesn't seem to be anything really out there other than vendor videos or unboxing videos. Quite a few S series reviews, but not the Rs. If anyone has any insights?

TIA

That's a big jump from what you have currently. The R5t looks really good from the factory measurements, as expected. I'd probably look elsewhere if you're looking at the 4b for mains, not that they're bad or anything like that, just too pricey in that size category, the R5m would be a better option for mains, IMHO.

Just a note, there is an S7t on US Audiomart for $7600 and a R5t for $7000

Depending on where you live, you can find new r5t for under $5k U.S.

Perlisten r5t have been reviewed in several places. Here is one: https://www.soundandvision.com/content/perlisten-audio-r5t-loudspeaker-and-d15s-subwoofer-review

Thank you for the inputs. I live southwest of Fort Worth and there aren't many decent audio stores locally. I asked Fidelity Imports for a recommendation and they pointed me to a home theatre installer 50 miles away. Sent them an email but no response yet.

Being svelte, the Mirages have good wife acceptance. I tried a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 300 6Gs in Macassar and they didn't go over that well. Maybe if they'd been black...

Whatever I get I see these being endgame
