PERLISTEN S7t Review. High-end flagship for hi-fi and home cinema
Perfect dispersion
That is the acoustic trademark of Perlisten, which the sound transducer specialist achieves with its high-tech trademarks: the unusual triple tweeter arrangement and the characteristic special baffle. The impressive Perlisten S7t is of course also equipped with these merits, with four woofers and an opulent volume for the bass. The flagship promises sound excellence and power sound both in hi-fi mode and for home cinema sound reinforcement – and the S7t fulfils this promise with impressive performance.Excellent 3D visualisation
We can also experience this lively vitality with the undistorted electric guitar: A wonderfully silvery, freesounding chord – identifying the guitar as a Stratocaster – is followed by stopped string attacks, making the guitar both a melody and rhythm instrument and perfectly complementing the drums and percussion. The music sounds infectiously fresh and is at the same time relaxed and groovy, because the timing is just right – both for the musicians involved and for the sound-shifting S7t. The harmonious interplay becomes virtually visible through the spatial reproduction: The S7t achieves an extremely vivid and three-dimensional representation. The audible materiality gives the instruments a tangible physicality, and the instruments in front of us are generously distributed in the room – with excellent stage width and excellent depth graduation. This freedom contributes to the boundlessness that this rendition conveys: Yello always enhances voices and instruments with impressive reverberation chambers and echoes, so the music plays in an unlimited artistic cosmos – ...High resolution and richness of detail
… und diese Grenzenlosigkeit vermittelt die S7: Sie löst ... and the S7 conveys this boundlessness: It dissolves the wallrelated limitations of our real space with ease. This immersive effect can only be achieved with a high-resolution reproduction that makes the reflections of the imagined space audible – and here it’s a pleasure to immerse yourself in this 3D illusion created by reverb and echo with your eyes closed.Thanks to this wealth of detail, Heidi Happy’s performance is now a real attraction too. The singer has an incredibly attractive, clear, warm voice and cleverly pulls out all the stops of vocal artistry: She breathes the vowels sensually, sings the syllables with a gentle vibrato, sometimes cooing lasciviously, sometimes sounding vulnerable and fragile – and wraps us around her finger. We hear every little inflection, every breath, no matter how minimal, even the opening of the lips before each vocal phrase. Heidi Happy seems to be standing right in front of us, singing just for us and to us.
