Perlisten Audio’s R Series has just been added to its loudspeaker lineup. Complementing the company’s flagship Signature S Series, the Rs come at more accessible prices and feature the Perlisten DPC configuration of three 26mm silk domes. Top of the range is the £8,100 R7t four-way tower, with the three previously mentioned silk domes partnered by four 165mm bass drivers. Sensitivity is quoted at 90dB into 4ohm loads.

Also in the ‘R’ series are the three-way R5t tower (with two 165mm bass drivers and 89dB sensitivity), a matching R5c centre for home cinemas, the standmount R5m (again two 165mm bass drivers and quoted 89dB sensitivity), a three-way R4s (with a single 165mm bass driver and 86.5dB sensitivity claimed) and the £1,600 bookshelf R4b with just the one 165mm bass driver and sensitivity quoted at 84.6dB.

The bass drivers are made from the company’s proprietary HPF (Hybrid Pulp Formulation) cone material – a new cone formulation comprised of mixed long fibre hardwood, bamboo and wool. Its strength, mass and damping have been used in a bid to ensure detailed, full-range response without colouration. The drivers can be aligned as either bass reflex or acoustic suspension, depending upon the listener’s tastes or application.

R Series designs are available in a piano black finish, with piano white available soon.
