It features the flagship four-way S7t floorstander ($17,990 per pair all prices in USD), the four-way S7c center speaker ($8495), the three-way S5m standmount ($12,990 per pair), the three-way S4b bookshelf speaker ($7990 per pair), and the S4s surround speaker ($7590 per pair). The S Series, rolling five models deep, was less of a first draft than a polished finished article. Perlisten Audio debuted in 2020-seemingly out of nowhere-in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please see the accompanying profile on Perlisten Audio founder Dan Roemer. So when Stuart McNeilis, SME’s charismatic CEO, offered me the opportunity to review the company’s new flagship Model 60 turntable, he didn’t need to ask twice. This is a company that builds analog replay equipment to the sort of tolerances that NASA specifies for its spacecraft. It’s no exaggeration to say that SME’s astonishing capability in precision metalwork is world-renowned and globally respected. For SME doesn’t just build some of the world’s most desirable turntables and tonearms it also undertakes leading-edge engineering projects for Formula 1 racing teams and aerospace firms. Note the lack of qualification there: not audio engineering companies, but engineering companies-period. Nestled in the foothills of the beautiful South Downs in West Sussex, you’ll find the magnificent art deco headquarters of one of the world’s finest engineering companies. Quite simply, SME is one of the crown jewels of the British audio industry, and is as quintessentially English as the BBC, Windsor Castle, or strawberries and cream at Wimbledon.
