Kal was right!

The speakers finally got here Thursday night, and Steve and his partner showed up Friday to unbox them and place them in my room (thank you Steve).  I have been playing music all day and night through them since.  They have been opening up and settling now for a few days, and I am more impressed than I was in Steve's room a few weeks back.  I have been driving them with a Luxman 509u integrated and Luxman D05u SACD player.  These are the best speakers I've owned or ever hope to own (they seem to best my 5As, need to someday test that?), so non-harsh at high level (It's 6am here and I'm playing a Nat Cole CD at lowish volume, magical). Steve is having a set-up man come by Monday to place the speakers (I did my best yesterday), and I don't anticipate him moving them much from where they are.  Imaging, tonal character, deep bass, non-harsh highs, sumptuous midrange, and pure beauty.  I feel incredibly fortunate.  

Very nice review here but we both like the all new Dynaudio Audio Focus 50 Active Wireless speakers better, our last speakers we will ever buy !

Congrats!  I love hearing stories where people hear a component and just “know” it’s right, because it’s very special and rare when it happens.  I’m a big Vandy 5a fan so would welcome your thoughts on both if you can. 

what are you using to five the Vandersteen 5As and what difference do you hear with the Perlisten speakers?

Good luck with the new speaekrs.

Congrats non your s7t's! I got lucky at axpona and walked into an empty room so I could grab the sweet spot and listen. Soundstage and imaging with the intensity of a mini monitor with bass and dynamics of a full range speaker was what I heard. A local dealer I like dropped the line tho' saying there was just too much competition at the price point. IDK, I really enjoyed them and very nearly bought a pair myself.
