Designed to attenuate floor and ceiling reflections, it smooths the near-field early reflection and sound power response curves at the crossover points.
The Secrets review confirmed the company’s claims for vertical response in the near-field. It produced an in-room spatial average with the fewest minor deviations from the target curve we have ever seen.
While designed for full range high output performance to meet THX Dominus specifications, Editor-In-Chief Carlo Lo Raso found that a combination of the Perlisten S7t and the matching D212 subwoofer would crush all comers in both intensity and finesse in his large studio listening space.
Review and Commentary
Beyond simply being able to resolve musical details in seemingly proper balance, the Perlisten S7t had a sense of scale about their presentation that, to me, put them in a league above several other comparable speakers that I’ve had in this room. These Perlisten speakers seem to be able to bend my room to their will. I assume that is in no small part due to the DPC Array doing its thing combined with the low-distortion bass drivers doing their voodoo as well.
The technology incorporated into the speakers and subwoofers, while not completely new, is uniquely applied and leads to quantifiably positive results both by ear and by measurement. As a straight 2-channel listening system the S7t are an exceptionally capable pair of loudspeakers that can honestly compete with the best out there. When used as part of the entire home theater package, as tested here, the results are electrifying, immersive, and completely convincing for both movies and music. I have not experienced better, yet, in my home. – Carlo Lo Raso
