Hi Fi Choice regular Nick Tate (aka David Price) finds much to love about Perlisten’s R5m monitor in the July 23 issue. He says, “played at lowish volumes, it sounds clean and tidy, but up the level and a cathedral-like soundstage appears. Given plenty of watts, the R5m really disappears into the room and gives a huge, three-dimensional recorded acoustic with accurate image location. Better still, it holds steady on transient peaks, continuing to sound all-of-a-piece and never losing composure when things get really loud…it’s an essential audition if you’re after a serious, grown-up standmount” Verdict: Recommended with 5 stars
