Quite satisfied.

Hmm, where to start..
Excellent customer service and company before purchase, during, and after. I feel like I'm dealing with people, not just a website.
I have a fairly small to average sized living room in my one bedroom apartment, and I wanted good quality, but not necessarily the largest and loudest speakers. I'm starting with just these towers, but I'll definitely be expanding to the full 5.1 system soon. When I received them, I was quite satisfied with the secure packaging, the velvety bag (looked like a giant bottle of Crown Royal), and I'm especially pleased with the quality of the wood finish (I got the cherry version).
My first impression of the sound was that it was "ok," but I adjusted a few settings on my receiver and gave the speakers a few hours to break in a little, and they sound like they've opened up. I don't have a subwoofer yet, so the bass is slightly lacking at times, just slightly. Even without the really low end tones, what you do hear is a clear, full, and open sound. Not too bright and tinny, yet the mids and highs are crisp and clean. I know that when I add the sub, it'll just make it that much better. But again, even without the sub, it's still acceptable, especially considering the size (only 4 inch woofers). I look forward to expanding my setup with more speakers from this company.
Impressive.

I've had the Intimus 4T speakers for about a year now and have loved them. I have them connected to a Sonos ZP120 which I use primarily to stream music from my network hard drive as well as from music services such as Pandora and Rdio. I know its not the purest audio set up but it is extraordinarily convenient and versatile. Anyway it sounds wonderful, and the 4T have a surprisingly adequate low end response. Did I mention they look wonderful too?
Love them!

Had these speakers for only a week, and am so glad I went with Aperion. I am blown away by your prices, quality, customer service, and sound! I will be Aperion customer for life. My setup is 2 4T's, 5C, 2 4BP's, and the 10D. Love all of them!
Exceeded my Expectations

I just wanted to take a moment to convey how thrilled I am with my Aperion 5:1 speakers. I have had these speakers for about 1 year now and I love them. Watching blu-ray movies and listening to music really make me appreciate them even more. I could not be more happy with your company and products. I have recommended Aperion to numerous people (don't know if anyone has purchased anything), but I am an satisfied / loyal advocate of your products and company. I am grateful to cNet for their review as I was not aware of your company. My speaker system gets better every day. Robert in NH.
Just one word 'WOW'

When I first hooked the 4Ts, I thought they were ok. But I didn't know that any speakers open up as you start using them. Man they have evolved. After 20-30 hours of use these speakers are a dream. I am so happy that I keep talking about them with friends, family and colleagues. Just Awesome. Good job Aperion.
Awesome sound and looks

I was looking for front speakers that can serve well for music without the need of subwoofer ... which I was planning to add later. After auditioning a number of speakers under $1000 I was not satisfied so I decided to try 4T after reading good reviews about the speakers and Aperion customer service.
As soon as I hooked these speakers with my Denon receiver I was blown away by the sound and looks of 4T. I am amazed as to how well these speakers perform for both music and HT. I will be adding a subwoofer shortly but as of now I am very much satisfied with these speakers.
Aperion customer service is one of the best in the industry especially the online chat option with the Aperion gurus.
Great all round experience !

What a great all round experience I had with Aperion Audio. Pure class. The speakers perform and deliver more than I expected for the price. Exceptional sound and quality from the whole set (5). What impressed me most however is the service from Aperion Audio and the quality of delivery. Every time I read a response to a support e-mail I could not but have a smile on my face. Great hardware, great people and a great experience.
Surprising Sound for a very reasonable price

I started with the Bravus 8D subwoofer with a pair of 5B bookshelf speakers and was very impressed. The 5B is a powerful little brute but for my size room I felt I needed a bit more. I traded my 5Bs in for a set of 4Ts and could not be happier. These diminutive towers put out a very large and comfortable sound. The 4Ts and the Bravus 8D match up very well indeed to produce a very high quality sound over the full audio spectrum. Don’t think that the sub is required however; these things pack a serious bass punch of their own. Great sound, gorgeous looks, impressive build quality and Aperion staff that are a pleasure to work with.
Dazzling, Marvelous, Excellent Speakers

After upgrading to 46" SONY LCD TV recently, I've been looking to upgrade my home theatre system as well for some time.
As is true with any non-audiophile kinda of guy, I too was almost certain to go for Bose system, that was until I saw the review at cnet site.
Right away, I knew it was one of those items I should give a try & after speaking to Aperion Gurus settled upon the following configuration:
1. 2 4T's -> Front Speakers
2. 1 5C -> Center Channel
3. 2 4B's -> Surround Speakers
4. 1 8 Bravus -> Subwoofer
So far it's been an excellent addition to my Sony Blu-Ray & Onkyo TX-SR 606.
I have been listening to these speakers for a month now & received my subwoofer couple of days back. I mostly watch movies 20%, music 80%. So far, everything has been top notch quality. Listened to AR Rehman song "Yeh Haseen Vadiyan" & developed goose pimples. The sound so crisp & clear.
Fit and finish (piano black) is excellent, and customer support is second to none.
Keep up the quality and service!
Best Speakers Ever

A few months back I started talking with my good friend and co-worker Jim “Rock” Arruda about speakers. I had never heard of Aperion and was really hung up on getting another brand. Jim brought his Aperion 4Bs into work and I was blown away by the sound! Totally took me by surprise.
So I decided to order the 4T Towers, 5C Center Chanel and 4B rear surrounds and I cannot believe how awesome these sound! My room is 24’ long by 15’ wide and if you close your eyes it feels like you are immersed in an ocean of sound. To top off this great product is Team Aperion customer service. Thanks Aperion for such a great product and service

Playing With POWER!!!!

This is my first high end speaker purchase and I was seriously blown away by the excellent performance that these speakers could produce. The levels that come out of them are so great I don't even need a subwoofer. These towers put out enough of that for me!! I would highly recommend these for an audiophile starter like myself that wants great sound but not at the extreme prices.
Aperion does a great job in providing you with great quality and not as much of a hit to the wallet. Their online docs and hotline were extremely helpful in allowing me to make the best decision for my purchase. Installation was very easy with the online documentation available on the website. I installed it all on my own and saved more $$$ than hiring someone else to do the same thing. Thanks Aperion!!!
Excellent Surround speaker
David R. - August 12, 2008
I configured a "hybrid" system, using 5T's for the front and 4T's as rear surrounds. Initially, I was concerned about using the smaller 4T's, but I was delightfully surprised at the quality of ambient sound they provide. I used a Disney Blu-ray DVD as my test. Disney Blu-ray, an original adopter of Blu-ray, provides a superior test of surround capability. The 4T's blew my old Bose speakers out of the water.
