Comments:	Aperion does it again with tremendous form and value. Sound quality for movies is fantastic for a small form factor. Looks like a piece of fine art worth many times its asking price. Movie dialog was perfect at most volume levels..including high. Make sure you have a decent HT receiver to take advantage of these tiny powerhouses. Thanks Aperion..again!

Comments:	This speaker provides superb sound for dialogue. It looks very nice with the black gloss finish, and only weighs 8 lbs. I mounted this speaker just under the TV at about ear level when sitting down on the couch. It's connected to a Harmon Kardon AVR 347 receiver a complemented by 4 x Intimus 4Bs.

Sound & Vision Magazine “Certified and Recommended” the Intimus 4B Harmony SA (Includes 4C)

Comments:	Here’s what Sound & Vision had to say specifically about the 4C in that review: “Dialogue intelligibility is paramount when watching movies, and the 4C passed this test easily, even with that dialogue delivered amid high background distraction in the Quantum of Solace soundtrack.” “The small size of these Intimus speakers belies their big-speaker sound. Throw in the feisty Bravus 8A subwoofer and you’ve got a highly competent compact system. Do good things come in small packages? You bet. And in small velvet bags, too.” “A system that strikes a fine balance between size and substance – highly recommended for smaller rooms.” “* Highly accurate sound * Beautiful cabinetry * Excellent customer support” - Ken C.

High-Def Digest Review of the Intimus 4C - May 2009

Comments:	High-Def Digest reviewed our Intimus 4B Harmony SA system and the Intimus 4C Center Channel Speaker is a component of that system. Here’s what High-Def Digest had to say specifically about the 4C in that review: “The center channel is fantastic. It handles both dialogue and action sequences with the greatest of ease.” “Again the center channel really stood out. It brought out intricate details you may not have heard the first time you popped in that album. It even picked up the subtle lip-smacks and offbeat breaths which aren't even present when listening to inferior speakers. These accuracies help the listener become even more engulfed in their listening experience, and further enjoy their entertainment.” - Todd Daugherty, HighDefDigest.com, May 2009 Read Full Review

CNET Named Intimus 4T Hybrid SD to “Best 5 Home Audio Products” List – February 2009

Comments:	System includes the Intimus 4C Center Channel Speaker. “Best mid-size speakers for the money If you're serious about surround sound, you need to invest in a speaker system with some real gravitas--but most people just don't want the living room overrun with giant tower speakers. But the Aperion Intimus 4T Hybrid SD package manages to downsize the towers without sacrificing the sound. At just 34 inches tall and only 5 wide, these mini-towers gorgeous minitowers will fit into smaller rooms with no problems. And you can choose an 8-inch (shown), 10-inch, or 12-inch subwoofer, depending on your bass (and size) requirements.” - - John P. Falcone, CNET.com, February 2009 See the full list

NEW 1" Audiophile-Grade Silk-Dome Tweeter

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 Drivers (one active driver and one passive radiator)

Our custom 4" woven-fiberglass midrange makes your music, movies and games come to life. 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 dialog.

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 4C cabinet is made of rock solid .75-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.

Magnetic Shielding

Your Aperion speakers are magnetically shielded so that they can be placed near any video monitor, ensuring a “rainbow free” video experience.

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.

Acoustically Transparent Grille

Nothing stands between you and your sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious speakers from curious fingers, claws or snouts.
