Fantastic Surround Speaker

Comments:	Since this was going to be my first surround system purchase (and my last for a long time), I really did my homework. Despite all my search, I always came back to Aperion Audio for all that they are known for: GREAT sounding speakers at a fair price plus excellent customer service. Add in the completely free 30 day trial and I couldn't go wrong. Here's what I bought: 5T, 5C, 4BPs and 8D. The 4BPs are my favorite part of my system. Going in I really wanted good surround. My problem is that I have a really challenging room – high ceilings, no place to mount the side surrounds and lots of open space. The 4BPs really fit the bill because they are so flexible and forgivable when it comes to placement. I have them both on 59” stands—one against a wall of windows and other at the edge of the couch with open space all around it. Despite their placement, they sound fantastic! I originally purchased two 4BP in Medium Cherry but they just didn't match the couch so ordered two more 4BPs in High Gloss Black. Just for kicks, I kept the original two 4BPs for an extra day and moved them to back of my room as part of a 7.1 system (keep in mind I planned on only getting a 5.1 system :-) All I can say is WOW what a difference and I thought the 4BPs in a 5.1 setup sounded good. Because the 4BPs are bipole, the surround sound is not localized which is exactly what you want. I am very impressed and will not be returning the extra set of 4BPs after all. I highly recommend them. Steve

Great for movies AND music

Comments:	This is my first experience with Aperion speakers and I ordered 4T's, 4C, Bravus dual 8" sub, and these 4BP's for my surround speakers. I have to admit I was a little aprehensive about using them for music (thought I should have ordered the 4B's), but after calibrating them I am amazed at the powerful sound! For movies they are perfect, giving just that right amount of spaciousness. The real surprise was for music. I love my DVD-Audio and SACD surround discs and these speakers sound great. I don't always sit in the same place in my room and sound coming from them is both direct and wide. My 30 day trial has just begun, but I am keeping these babies. :) Greg

Big Picture Big Sound Reviews the Intimus 4BP Bipole Surround Speaker – September 2009

Comments:	Big Picture Big Sound reviewed our Intimus 4B-BP Fusion SA system and gave it a 3 out of 4 Star rating and the Intimus 4BP Bipole Surround Speaker is a component of that system. Here’s what Big Picture Big Sound had to say specifically about the 4BP in that review: “The surround sound from these was generally excellent in our testing…” “…the 4BPs take it a step further. The bipole surrounds feature the bottom mount, along with the rear mount and have had the rear of the speaker grooved out to accommodate the speaker wire. This makes using these speakers in a number of configurations a snap. More importantly these speakers are available individually so you can start with a basic 5.1 system and grow it out over time, as tastes and budget allow.” Solid craftsmanship and excellent materials Reasonable sized satellite speakers [Comments about the 4B-BP Fusion SA System] “With its furniture-grade piano finish and sleek design the Aperion Intimus 4B-BP Fusion SA system looks like a million bucks, but this system almost sounds like it too. While the satellites and center speaker don't quite match up visually, together the 5.1 system packs quite an audio punch.” - Peter Suciu, BigPictureBigSound.com, September 2009 Read Full Review

EngadgetHD Reviews the Intimus 4BP Surround Speaker – August 2009

Comments:	“Whether you like your surround speakers in monopolar, bipolar, or dipolar flavor, there's no disputing the fact that you need real surround channels to get the full theater effect. The problem is that they need space in your room, and if you opt for something other than a monopole, they tend to get creep towards "eyesore" territory. Internet retailer Aperion Audio has dished up its 4BP bipolar surrounds for just such cases -- measuring only 5x12.5x5.8-inches, it's about as small as you'll get for a bipolar design, and Aperion crammed a pair of 1-inch silk tweeters and a 4-inch mid/woof into the small breadbox of a speaker. Pity it couldn't fit a bipole/dipole switch in there, but at $199 each and good-looking to boot, it's hard to complain. Our advice -- if you're holding out for a small surround speaker, downplay the "monopole/bipole for music, dipole for theater" wisdom and consider giving these an audition and get going with surround sound!” - Steven Kim, engadgetHD.com, August 2009 Read Full Review

Dual 1" Audiophile-Grade Silk-Dome Tweeters

Our 1-inch, audiophile-grade, silk dome tweeter has been re-engineered for optimal sonic performance, even at the highest volume levels. The smooth sound of our silk tweeter ensures a warm, natural sound with no harsh aftertaste. This new tweeter features a unique system of venting to a rear chamber that employs multiple rear vents outside the neodymium magnet instead of the traditional design that uses a single vent through the magnet’s center. This new design allows the magnet to remain fully intact, resulting in a stronger motor structure with a lower resonant frequency, smooth response, and an amazingly pure, natural, and distortion free sound. This tweeter is the high point of our speaker... literally.

4” Woven-Fiberglass Midrange Driver

Listen as all the excitement and drama of your music, movies and games comes to life with our custom 4" woven-fiberglass midrange. This robust and versatile little driver is tough enough to handle the thumping demands of lower midrange frequencies yet is precise enough to support a choir of voices. It may be small, but it packs a solid punch by delivering pure, distortion-free sound and flawless dialogue.

Magnetic Grill Mounting

Whether you prefer to run your speakers with or without the grills, our all new magnetic grill mount makes it easy and seamless. With the grills on, the neodymium magnets provide a strong, easy fit – just hold the grill near to the Intimus 4BP and it magically snaps into place! No more post inserts, just the renowned, beautiful Aperion finish. Now your speakers will look as smooth as they sound with the grill on or off!

Furniture-Grade Finish

Each of our speakers is beautifully finished in either real cherry wood or high gloss piano black lacquer, allowing them to effortlessly blend into your decor. This first-rate cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of only the most expensive loudspeakers with a furniture-grade finish so handsome your coffee table will be jealous.

Anti-Resonant Cabinet

Every Aperion 4BP cabinet is made of rock solid ¾ inch thick high density fiberboard (HDF) to eliminate unwanted cabinet vibrations, effectively muting the walls of the speaker, ensuring that the only voice you hear is coming from your CD or DVD.

5-Way Gold-Plated Binding Posts

It's all about convenience. No matter if you use banana plugs, bare wire, round pins, flat pins or spades -- they'll connect effortlessly to your new speakers. The gold plating isn't there just to make you feel regal, gold resists corrosion and provides the best possible connection to your receiver.
