Revel PerformaBe F328Be vs Perlisten S7t - Ultimate Tower Speaker Shootout!

We go in-depth comparing two of the most elite high-end tower loudspeakers on the market: the $17,600/pair Revel PerformaBe F328Be and the $21,990/pair Perlisten S7t. The Revel is a 3-way, 5-driver ported tower featuring three 8" aluminum/ceramic composite woofers, a 5.25" midrange, and a 1" beryllium tweeter housed in a 6th-gen waveguide. It delivers a wide, neutral sound with excellent dynamics and room-filling spaciousness. Its build quality is very good and consistent with Revel’s high standards—but not quite on the same level as the Perlisten. The Perlisten S7t is built to an entirely different standard of engineering precision and craftsmanship. This 4-way, THX Dominus–certified design features four 7" Textreme carbon fiber woofers, dual 2.1" Textreme midranges, and a 1.1" beryllium tweeter in the proprietary DPC (Directivity Pattern Control) array. With class-leading output, surgical imaging, and controlled dispersion, the S7t excels in both performance and construction, making it one of the most technically advanced tower speakers available today. In this video, we break down the real world measurements and sound performance results using reference tracks from Rebecca Pidgeon, Tracy Chapman, Yello, and more. We reveal which speaker excels in slam, clarity, and focus—and which one might be a better value depending on your listening style and room. See which speaker delivers the ultimate audiophile experience—and which one wins our head-to-head comparison! 👉 Perlisten S7t Review: https://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/perlisten-s7t 👉 Revel Salon 2 vs F328Be: https://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/revel-f328be-vs-ultima-salon2 🛒 Revel PerformaBe F328Be: https://audioadvice.io/4jVtQBJ 🛒 Perlisten S7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7towers 👉 Book a consultation with Gene: https://bit.ly/Gene-consultation ► Shop Dreamedia AV: https://dreamediaav.com/?ref=3 👉 Book your FREE custom home theater design service NOW: https://bit.ly/HTDesign 🛒 Kaleidescape Terra Prime HDD: https://bit.ly/KscapeTerraPrimeHD 🛒 Kaleidescape Package Deals: https://bit.ly/Kscape-bundle 🛒 NEW Kaleidescape Strato E: https://dreamediaav.com/products/kaleidescape-strato-e-movie-player?ref=3 🛒 Kaleidescape Strato C + Terra Prime: https://bit.ly/Kscape-bundle 🛒 Kaleidescape Strato V Movie Player: https://bit.ly/4bS6Kbf 🛒 JVC NZ800 Projector: https://rb.gy/zb6e1j 🛒 JVC NZ900 Projector: https://rb.gy/qqoov9 Recommended Subwoofers: 🛒 RBH Sound 21-SF/R: https://bit.ly/RBHSound21SFR Perlisten D15s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenD15s Perlisten R212s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR212s Perlisten R210s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR210s Perlisten R18s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR18s Recommended AV Separates Trinnov Altitude 32: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude32 Trinnov Altitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude16 Marantz AV 10: https://bit.ly/MarantzAV10pre Marantz Amp 10: https://bit.ly/MarantzAmp10amp Recommended AV Receivers: AudioControl XR8S: https://bit.ly/AudioControlXR8S Marantz Cinema 30: https://bit.ly/MarantzCinema30 Recommended Speakers: Perlisten S7t Limited Edition: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7tLE Perlisten S7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7towers Perlisten R7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR7t Perlisten R5t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR5t Perlisten S3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS3ic Perlisten R3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR3ic RBH Sound SI-760/R: https://bit.ly/RBHSoundSI760R RBH Sound SI-815/RL: https://bit.ly/RBH815RL-ceiling 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Why this speaker shootout? 00:40 - Speaker setup 01:00 - RT60 decay time for room 01:17 - Test Conditions 01:25 - Speaker switcher 01:35 - Speaker sensitivity measurements 01:47 - Denon electronics 02:17 - Revel Specs 03:24 - Perlisten specs 04:57 - Looks and design - Revel 05:51 - No outriggers 06:22 - Looks and design - Perlisten 07:37 - Perlisten advantages in design 07:49 - Revel grille 08:22 - I hate the Perlisten grilles too! 08:45 - Perlisten bottom ports = thumbs down 09:44 - Listening tests 09:47 - Rebecca Pigeon - Spanish Harlem 10:34 - Tracy Chapman - Fast Car 11:38 - Yello - Planet Da Da Flamboyant 13:23 - Frequency response comparison 14:36 - ISO ACOUSTIC Feet 15:00 - Price discussion 15:14 - Build quality and aesthitics 15:47 - Perlisten LE versions 16:21 - Overall opinion 17:31 - Recommend high perf subs 17:57 - Brad’s impressions 18:10 - (Brad) Tracy Chapman - Fast Car 19:08 - (Brad) Yello - Planet Dada Flamboyant 20:22 - Gene jumps in! 20:34 - Low vs loud volume 21:20 - Off axis listening 21:51 - Revel vs RBH measurements 22:04 - Guest room 23:09 - Bloopers Disclosure: Audioholics earns commissions from qualifying purchases with the Affiliate Links used in the description of this video.
