Simply amazing speaker from an amazing company
Manish B. - February 16, 2011
I purchased my entires Aperion Audio system (two 6T's, one 6C, two 534 SS Diapole/Bipole Speakers and one 10 inch Bravus) in April 2008. Its almost 3 years now and I can tell you the following,
1) These are the best speakers I have purchased
2) This is the best company to work with
3) The customer service is simply amazing
Just like many others, I did not believe the user reviews, magazine review comments and other articles. In today's world one has to take everything with a pinch of salt when it comes to internet information. All kinds of thoughts went through my head, I am parting almost $4K to some company which claims "blah blah blah". What if I get duped and on and on.
I almost we to the local store and purchased a Kef speaker set. Something prevented me and I tried out Aperion. Trust me... The best decision I took. All the reviews and raves are completely true. I have had almost 3 years of awesome movie, sports watching. Don't do much of music but when ever I play, its pure music.
After my experience, when I want any kind of speaker, I don't waste any more time, I just go to Aperion and order it. I will continue to do so in the future. I am their customer for life.
Even their exchanges are straight forward. They work exactly as they have detailed on their website. I had this experience when I traded up my 8 inch sub for a 10 inch sub. No hassles. How I wish everything else were as simple, truthful and straight forward as Aperion.
Great work Aperion Team.

After one year and much consideration, I exchanged my 5C for the 6C this past August. It has blended well with the 6Ts in front and 4BPs on the sides and rears. Priced at $450 it is a bargain, and I can highly recommend it.
Intimus 6C V.S. Paradigm cc390
Karlo B. - August 30, 2010
I took Aperion up on their 30 day guarantee offer and ordered the Intimus 6c while I was auditioning a Paradigm cc390 at home. After 3 days of continuous break-in and 2 weeks of A/B testing, I chose the Intimus 6C. While both were very good and clear, the 6C was noticeably more natural compared to the Paradigm's slightly "bright" sound. Even though the Paradigm has four 6.5 inch woofers, the Intimus 6C goes lower significantly easier with its 2 woofers. Both have a very large sweet spot with their tweeter over mid design. Finally, the Intimus just looks better. It looks classier w/ its sleek all black look. So the Paradigm went back to the dealer, and the Intimus 6c found a new home.
Aperion, A First Class Online Retailer, You WILL NOT Be Disappointed!!

Before purchasing my 6C speaker, I did a lot of online research on the pluses & minuses. Well after owning my 533 VAC for close to a year, I knew what I was expecting. My only thought was, is the 6C worth twice the price of my 533.... Was it going to be twice the speaker? In a word, YES it is everything that I was expecting from Aperion.
The customer service may have actually improved since last year, if that is / was possible. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will be upgrading my other speakers as time / money warrants.
For all who may read this, the internet especially, Aperion Audio is a First Class business, DO NOT be afraid to give them a try. I am glad that I did, and I would not hesitate to do it all over again.

I purchased this unit approx 6 months ago and have played blu rays, regular video, music, and gaming all with this unit as the center channel.
External = (Black) Very Beautiful! I am using a Denon AVR-3808 and the 6C is the center channel, not used stand alone. My Home Theatre room is 18x15 and in conjunction with the entire team of surround channel speakers the 6C is a most welcome addition. Not confirmed to after the 6C and its function within the group, did I find that the existing Sub is not performing to team requirements and needs to be replaced. I am in closed thought discussion with some prospects one of which is the 10D sub offered by Aperion.
Overall the 6C is the best I have had. I did need to adjust the finer settings on my Denon to accomadate the 6C fitting in with the team(this was expected). The 6C was a huge improvement on the prior center channel, looks and performance.
The only center you'll ever need.

This is truly as good as it gets. My experience with Aperion products and customer satisfaction gets better and better with each purchase/upgrade. I took advantage of the trade up program because I wanted a stronger center to match my towers.
The 6C does what I wanted and more, much more! Perfect dialog and sound. Forget the stores, shop with the Aperion family and you will have no regrets.
You will not miss any dialogue with this center

What a excellent center speaker. Crank up the movies and music and this center will accommodate your needs. It will not bottom out and this center is awesome when listening to the 7 channel stereo mode for music. Another job well done by Aperion.
6C center channel beats those twice the price
Steven T. - August 22, 2008
I had initially purchased the 533 VAC center channel but needed more detailed sound to match my main speakers. I looked at several others which cost twice the price and decided then to try the 6C. The 6C outperformed the others I had auditioned and yet saved me several hundred dollars. I don't need to keep the box around as it won't be sent back. I am thoroughly satisfied with this product. Customer service was excellent.
Wow! Wide sound, good looks, great service. It's a hat trick!

I have bought my share of home theater components but I have always gone to a "brick and mortar" store. I only recently realized that the home theater speaker market has opened up quite a bit and the "online" companies are turning out some quality products.
When I received the 6C Center channel it was double boxed to the point that I am pretty sure it would survive a nuclear attack. Once inside the second box I saw the royal blue velvet bag with the gold rope which contained the speaker. Now I am not usually one for "fluff" but I have to admit that it was kind of cool to unveil the speaker like it was a piece of fine art. The piano black finish is about as close to a work of art as you can get so maybe that was the case.
My home theater is relatively large (18x24x11) so I was really hoping that it would be a nice wide sound stage. The three-way speaker design apparently works to make the seating options limitless because every seat seems like it's front-dead-center. My previous center channel tended to leave people saying "What did he say?" but the Aperion 6C leaves no doubt. Every word is crystal clear even when it's surrounded by action (we watched Cloverfield last night).
I bought the center channel first (to check out Aperion) but I will definitely be ordering the rest when they are available. The customer service is perfect and the product is equally good.
Good job all the way around Aperion.
Intimus 6C Center Channel Speaker
Barry T. - April 29, 2008
I have been listening to this Center Channel Speaker for over two weeks now and I have be satisfied so far especially when contrasted to other center speakers I have tried which cost a lot more. Dialog for movies come over fairly clearly. This is just a first impression and I may provide another review after more listening.
