Perlisten S7t speakers at Axpona

@panhead2 can I ask why?

Did they have subs with them? These need subs. 

No subs playing, it was a small hotel room and a sub would possibly have overloaded the room IMO.

I heard them at a local dealer's and was underwhelmed.

I had recently read the Stereophile review that described a healthy bass quantity but when I went to listen to them there was an obvious paucity of low end from the Perlisten S7t.

I wondered if it was because it was a "treated room" as opposed to a normal household listening environment.

I'd be interested to hear them again but they were kind of bright and lacked bass for my taste at that initial listen.

Afterward, I listened to the Magico A5 that sounded better for a modestly higher cost than the Perlisten speakers. After that I listened to the Magico M2 and those were even better as they should be for their cost.

I listened to them at axpona and i must have got lucky because the room was nearly empty of attendee’s and I got front and center. I heard enough to want to hear more, while I don’t do subs if a speakers got good output to 50 hz it’s enough for the music I listen to. Simply stereo picked them
