Kal was right!

I drove about an hour today to listen to/audition a pair of the Perlisten S7t speakers; I was very intrigued by the review in Stereophile.  I brought along a bag of CDs to play along with a KT150 tube-based integrated (most likely the unit I would use to drive them here at home).

My pair will be delivered in the week.

I wasn't really in the market for new loudspeakers, but after hearing them with my amp and then with one the distributor used, I had pretty much no choice.

If you get the chance to listen I suggest you do.

Stereophile measured some demanding impedance though.

I wouldn't be too concerned in my case.  I've found my CJ Prem 12s to have little problem powering some demanding speakers I've owned, including my current Thiels and the brutally demanding MBL omnis.

Good choice….they were setup at Capital Audiofest last month. They were very impressive.

Without subwoofers, dont look to the Atma-spheres. Impedance is the issue not efficiency. I own MA-1s.

I'm getting the Constellation Integrated to power these speakers, to see if I agree with Michael Lavorgna.  It will be a month or two in coming, so by then the speakers will be broken in and tried with a number of amps/integrated amps I have here.  Maybe there will be more than one winner.

Well, I was getting kind of interested in the smaller S5M monitors...until I was given the Canadian price!   Starting at $17,000 for High Gloss Black,  Gloss Ebony is $18,500.

Yikes!  That keeps them firmly out of my price range, especially for a stand mounted speaker!
