See the complete review for the Perlisten Audio R5m-based 5.2 Channel Home Theater System.

Perlisten Audio pulled off a full-frontal assault on the Hi-Fi world last year with their S-series line of loudspeakers and D-series subwoofers, winning universal high praise for both the sound quality and the technical innovations of their products.

Perlisten Audio R-Series 5.2 Channel Home Theater System

We liked the review system they sent us so much we awarded it our 2021 Product of the Year award and added both the 5.2 system and the S7t tower speakers to our Secrets Recommended Gear list for 2022.

So what then does the company do for an encore? Specifically, a more affordable (and honestly, more rational) encore? Well, the folks at Perlisten decided to send along an R-series system for us to try out, based around the much more modestly sized R5m monitor speakers, the R5c center channel speaker, and the R4s on-wall surround speakers. Bottom octave bass duties were carried out by brand new twin R212s subwoofers. Visually this is the kind of speaker system that would be more at home in more typical medium-sized home theaters. Technically, many of the innovations from the S-series are still found in the R-series too, just scaled down and adapted to meet a different price point.

Perlisten R-Series 2.2-Channel System

I got a chance to play with the full system set up in my home theater space and as a 2.0 and 2.2 channel system in my less forgiving studio listening space. Let’s see if Perlisten has caused lightning to strike twice with the R-Series. Look for the full review, with bench tests, to arrive soon on the Secrets website.
