Perlisten’s A-series speakers deliver a more accessible option for audiophiles

Perlisten has launched a new range of high performance speakers that, by its usual standards, are reasonably priced.

Considering its audiophile products – like the D215s THX Dominus subwoofer – can set you back $10K or more, the new A-Series range is "entry-level" in comparison. It starts at $995 per speaker and tops out at $6,990 per pair for the flagship A4t. That's roughly £5,170 / €5,975 / AU$10,590 before taxes.

There are four speakers in the A-Series to, so something for most setups. There's the A2s wall- or ceiling-mounted surround and A3m compact full-range speakers, plus the A3t and range-topping A4t towers.

Perlisten A-Series: key features and pricing

The A4t is a floorstander with a bespoke 35mm composite Teteron dome tweeter in a unique waveguide and three 215mm carbon fibre woofers in a bass reflex enclosure. These are all contained in a custom cabinet and controlled by a custom crossover.

Its low end goes down to a subterranean 27Hz and the 4 ohm impedance makes it suitable for a wide range of high-powered amps. Recommended power is 50 to 350W.

The more affordable A3t has the same dome tweeter and woofers, but this time there are only two woofers to the A4t's three.

The compact A3m is a two-way system, again with 35mm tweeter and 215mm woofer. And last but not least, there's the A2s surround speaker.

It comes with another two-way design, but is made for surround sound. There's also wa tilt and swivel bracket that enables you to set it up for side, rear or top channels.

Global pricing and availability haven't been announced yet, but the US prices are (per speaker):

• A4t: $3,495
• A3t: $2,495
• A3m: $1,795
• A2s: $995
