This is not a cheap speaker. You can tell that from everything. As such, these are speakers for the discerning listener and avid movie buff who doesn’t want to make any compromises and wants exceptionally good sound across the board. Those who only want to set up two speakers in a traditional stereo setup should look at the S5m or R5m. Those who want to go all out can purchase a luxurious 7.2 setup where the S4b will provide the magic in the midrange.
Conclusion
Is there still room in the crowded audio market for a new speaker manufacturer is the reflection we made at the beginning of this story? Having previously listened to the S7t floorstander and now this S4b, we have to conclude that there is. Perlisten themselves believe 100 per cent in their loudspeakers and confront the competition with confidence. They are racking up award after award and have now established an extensive, international network. This manufacturer has clearly not missed its start and we can understand why. The combination of innovation and offbeat looks are a hit. The Perlisten S4b can certainly shine in a luxurious 7.2 setup but will also excel in a 2.1 stereo set-up. With its ultra-low distortion, this speaker sounds very fast and direct. The open midrange is suitable for both music and movies. The finish is of a very high standard and the build quality outstanding. For the discerning buyer.
