I'm wondering if anyone at Aperion could post a pic or two of the 'guts' of some of the current line.  I'm not talking about publishing trade secrets or anything, but I'd like to see what the 6T crossover looks like..  what the drivers look like out of the cabinets..  what the internal bracing and damping material looks like..  that kind of thing.

Anyone else curious?

Someone ask for this a long time ago, glad you brought it up again!

Cheers

I have a feeling the answer is going to be no.  I'm sure there are proprietary things that even showing a picture would reveal it.  But I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.

The answer may be no but I doubt it would be because of secrets.  There is not much in the way of bracing, drivers, wire, capacitors or inductors that can be proprietary.  It has all been done before.

It's hard to keep a secret when you allow people to buy your product which would give them the opportunity to take it apart. :-)

Although I can see the headline - "Aperion Speakers - Exposed!" Naked pictures!

This is true..  There shouldn't be a problem.  Other companies do it all the time.  I especially like those that take the time to cut a cross-section of their speakers to show how everything is put together.  I'm not asking for anything like that though.

It would be simple, though, to snap a shot of a XO or some drivers..

Gentlemen....(drum roll)..... I present to you the 6T smart parts:

Thanks Matt!  Looks like a cast alluminum basket and a large magnet, or motor as they call in the biz, and nice large gauge wires.  Pretty slick packaging on the crossover.  Looks like a poly cap on top but what are all the circuit board type electrolytic caps for?  

Cheers 

Awesome man!  Thank you!

That main driver looks like a nice piece.

Agreed, Herbie.

Mmmmmm...speaker porn.
