Perlisten R7t vs KEF R11 meta

[SwirlingMist]

What do you guys think of these two speakers?
They have some similarities and each their own unique tweeter wave-guiding technologies.

What springs to mind for you?

The KEF is a more traditional speaker. The Perlisten speaker has a bit more going on. It probably has a significantly wider dynamic range than the KEF speaker, and its directivity control will extend to lower frequencies.

I wonder which one would represent the greater performance/value proposition - $10K for the Perlisten vs $6.5K for the KEF.

Both will sound great, but I don’t $10K speakers and $6.5K speakers are in the same “class”.

As Shady says, if you plan on playing very loudly and from farther distance, the Perlisten has more dynamics. Otherwise, the $6.5K R11m are probably more bang-for-your-buck.
