The slimmer Reference tower: twin HPF woofers, silk DPC Array and dual cabinet alignment
Perlisten R5t is a 3-way R-Series floorstander with a three-dome 26 mm silk DPC Array and two 165 mm HPF woofers.
R5t reduces cabinet volume and woofer count compared with R7t while retaining the Reference philosophy: silk DPC Array, HPF cones and a choice between bass reflex and acoustic suspension. It is intended for listeners wanting a true Perlisten floorstander for stereo or cinema without the scale and absolute capability of the flagship model.
Key features
- 3-way Reference R-Series design.
- DPC Array with three 26 mm silk domes.
- Two 165 mm HPF woofers.
- Bass-reflex or acoustic-suspension configuration.
- 89 dB sensitivity and 4-ohm nominal impedance.
- Response down to 24 Hz-32 kHz in bass reflex (-10 dB).
- Recommended amplifier power from 100 to 250 W RMS.
- THX Dominus and THX Ultra certification.
A Reference tower that is easier to integrate
R5t is designed as a complete two-channel loudspeaker but fits naturally into multichannel R-Series systems. Two 165 mm woofers reduce size and mass compared with the four used by R7t while preserving deep extension and the same tonal approach through the mid and high frequencies.
Silk and HPF instead of Signature materials
Three 26 mm silk domes and HPF woofers clearly identify the Reference Series material platform. Compared with S-Series Beryllium and Textreme TPCD, R5t uses less costly materials engineered to preserve directivity control, smooth treble and dynamic bass.
Two alignments for room matching
R5t can operate as bass reflex, reaching 24 Hz at -10 dB, or as acoustic suspension, where rated extension is 38 Hz. This dual alignment makes it easier to adapt the loudspeaker to different wall distances and room-acoustic conditions.
Dimensions and dynamic reserve
The cabinet is 230 mm wide, 1,100 mm high and 350 mm deep, with a weight of 26.5 kg. Sensitivity of 89 dB and recommended amplifier power up to 250 W RMS give it substantial output capability without requiring the physical scale of R7t.
