Great set of speakers apartment friendly speakers. The sound quality on the highs and mids is astounding. The sub woofer has its own remote control which allows me to mute it at night as to not disturb the neighbors. |
Surpassed my expectations... and more!

Feeling rather defeated searching for Paradigm dealers close to me, then to find out they want a lot more than I was willing to pay, plus my state's rather high sales tax, I figured I'd give Aperion a try. After all, there's that 30-day return right?
No need. I've already thrown the boxes out.
This complete system rocks. Everything is so clean & clear, it is amazing. I have the 5B Fusion SD connected to a Marantz SR4002 receiver, using Aperion's speaker & subwoofer cables. Simply amazing. The finish (I went w/ glossy black) I was a bit skeptical too, looking at the photos online. I figured there might have been a lot of photo editing going on to make them look like that on the website. But after I had removed the speakers from the velvet bags (with my Aperion-supplied white gloves of course), they truly looked just like it appears on the website. The glossy black perfectly matches my Pioneer plasma TV, as well as my PlayStation 3/Blu-Ray player.
Packaging was great--boxes within boxes to keep everything safe & protected. User guides were simple & easy to follow--fortunate, since I'm one of those super-impatient types who just wants to connect everything and throw "Ronin" on.
Unlike most, I use this system very little for music, perhaps only 2% of the time. I'd say 49% is used for PS3 gaming; 49% for movies. And with the convenient remote that the Bravus 8D remote, I can easily switch from gaming to movie mode.
Clean, crisp sound--it puts you into the movie, instead of just peering in. When playing Call of Duty 4, the surround speakers helps a lot in figuring out from what direction you're being shot! I found myself wincing, as those shots sound so incredibly realistic with these speakers. There is just no way a generic HTIB can hang with this.
Now all I need are French doors in the bonus/theatre room to keep the Household Committee happy... :) |

Great speakers without the markup of the middleman. We deliver tremendous quality and value; find out what sets us apart from the rest.
Dorothy was right, there's no place like home.

Eliminating the middleman seemed a little violent, so we opted not to have one in the first place
