I heard this companys products in their demo room at a high-end audio show in 2006. I came in skeptical about the sound quality of a brand with no retail representation, and I was proven totally wrong. Aperion was demonstrating several of their lines, including the Intimus set above, with a 60" HD plasma TV and some very high end electronics. Well, they say that sound is half the home theater experience, and this was proof...action was involving and immediate, bass thumped tightly, music was extraordinarily clean and open, and live concert video seemed to have musicians in the room with us.
I brought several CDs of well-recorded music like Dire Straits Brothers In Arms and the Grateful Deads American Beauty, and the reps played both. String instruments and vocals sounded truly "there" and the experience was very like listening to a live event. These speakers were also very "neutral" and to my ears, accurate, not weak or over-emphasized in any particular frequency area.
A 5.1 channel set by an equivalent manufacturer (NAD, Boston Acoustics, Atom, etc.) with a specialized retail network would undoubtedly cost well over $1,000, and probably over $1,500 for similar value. Yes, these speakers come from an internet manufacturer, but they guarantee complete satisfaction or theyll refund your purchase price. If I didnt have a very good speaker setup now (NHT Super Ones, Center One and SW2 sub), Id strongly consider buying this set.
