The title for a rave review of the Perlisten S4b speakers, culled from the copy by the-ear.net. Experienced hi-fi scribe and enthusiast David Vivian says “a jumbo LS3/5a with an injection of Area 51 alien tech? Bizarre as that sounds, the thought did cross my mind…sealed box, low sensitivity, less than bountiful but nevertheless, fast, taut and tuneful bass, walk-in soundstage and, perhaps most gratifying of all, the gift of stunning believability thanks mostly, in the S4b’s case, to extraordinary transparency and detail retrieval through midrange/treble region and unerringly snappy timing…the S4b is extraordinary with the kind of agility, tonal realism and rhythmic precision that would embarrass a topflight small monitor yet scaled for volume, serious dynamic reach and soundstage dimensionality that, frankly, must be heard to be believed.”
