Presenting the totally redesigned Intimus 5C - center channel sound so clear and concise, you’ll hear all the detailed dialogue nuance of your favorite movies. Our vertical array design creates a coherent, incredible sound that makes every location in the room a sweet spot. This all happens by pairing our new custom designed audiophile-grade silk-dome tweeter with our custom designed 4” woven- mid-woofer in a vertical array. This broadcasts a shelf of sound across your room while unburdening the two 5 1⁄4” woofers (one active driver and one passive radiator) of frequencies they should have no business worrying about. The result of this amazing engineering feat is a center channel so natural… so real… you’ll feel compelled to join the dialogue.

Key Features:
  • 5.25” Woven fiberglass mid-woofer delivers excellent bass response
  • 4” Woven-fiberglass mid-woofer offers lush midrange sound
  • 1” custom designed silk-dome tweeter for smooth, clearly defined highs at even the highest volume levels
  • Vertical array design improves off-axis performance
  • Curved design aesthetic to blend seamlessly with your décor 
  • Anti-resonant cabinet
  • Furniture-Grade finish
  • Ten year warranty
  • FREE SHIPPING - a $26 value*
  • FREE lifetime technical support
  • FREE speaker care kit

The ideal choice for most home theaters, the Intimus 5C Center Channel Speaker makes every seat the best seat in the house. The vocals and dialogue coming out of this attractive center channel speaker are so authentic you may find yourself talking back.

*Free shipping value is based on ground shipping costs from Portland, OR to New York, NY.  Individual rates vary.

Comments: This speaker is amazing. I have it paired with 2 4Ts & 2 4Bs and I couldn't be happier with the sound, look, & overall quality. For a center channel I found the frequency response to be surprising. Overall, very highly recommended.



Awesome Addition

Comments: Not only is the fit and finish first rate, but the sound difference from my old center speaker is amazing. Heard the water trickle down a stream in the background of Tombstone. Voices are clean and natural sounding. The cherry finish fits right in our room and has high WAF. Can't help but wonder how much bigger the 6C sounds but for now this thing fills our 14x18 livingroom and we are extremely happy. This with the 5Ts and my wife never watches TV without the system up. An Onkyo TX-SR876 drives these little beauties.



The dings of bullets...

Comments: I have tried many movies with this speaker and EVERYTHING comes across with such clarity, I couldn't believe my ears. My dog goes nuts everytime I watch a movie. She is fooled to think that someone is in the house or at the door. Bullets cling, leaves crunch, and dialog, once configured correctly, is flawless. Breath when speaking is audible, plaster being blown off walls is captured with amazing details, and even something as simple as walking on gravel is top notch. Do yourself a huge favor and buy this speaker! WOW!

Comments: Size is perfect. Quality is astounding. Highly recommend this center channel. Perfectly paired with my other Intimus brethren.

That said, I'd buy any product from Aperion again simply for the customer service factor. The folks here really do care about your needs and wants, and will hold your hand (if you need it...I did) through the entire process. Public kudos to David, who did so with me. Really had an amazing experience buying from Aperion. Would do it again, and will recommend to anyone that will listen.



Sensational 5C

Comments: It's been approx 30 hours of break in on this gem of a center since upgrading from the 4C last month. Without question the finest center channel I've listened to in a home environment. My upgrade was based on the performance of the 4C. Now I experience increased dynamics, better off axis response and frequencies so clear and concise the speaker exhibits transparency characteristic...quite an unexpected quality. Listening to Within Temptation’s Sharon Del Adel's vocal on their "Black Symphony" DVD puts her center stage and she' right there with you. Wow! Build quality, fit, finish and aesthesis are astounding. Nice job Aperion. No - great job.

Comments: When I was talking with Aperion about what I wanted, Jason and Caleb both told me to go with the 5C center. I never really spent much for centers never thought they were necessary...Boy was I wrong. the 5C is a monster. All those years I wasted.. what ever was I thinking? I am hearing things I never heard before in surround. My dogs are going nuts they hear something and are looking around... LOL. This is a great center for my system and the sound that it puts out is incredible. Voices are clear, I can even hear people taking a breath before talking.. Truly amazing.



Very VERY nice!

Comments: Gotta say, the first impression was amazing. Even in the way the Fed-Ex guy handled package was impressive, it's like he KNEW how nice of a product he was holding in his hands. The packaging it arrives in is far greater than the price would allow you to believe, and the good news is it gets even better. The very second I removed my old Polk and put in my new Aperion, it brought my whole home theatre to life. That may sound a little dramatic, but it's true. Bottom line, it looks great, sounds even better and is a great price. Cant be beat!

Winner - Hands Down

Comments: I bought the 5C to test against another center speaker and after listening to the two, it was not a fair fight. The 5C won hands down for clarity and resonance. The other speaker almost sounded like I had a radio in front of my television.

Fit and finish were also a consideration. While the “brand x” speaker had a vinyl finish, the 5C has a real wood cherry finish.

My wife likes the looks better and also the better sound. I can’t turn it up too much or it will run us out of the room.

Excellent product – now I am going to pair them up with some 5T fronts.



Cool!!! WOW!!!!!

Comments: Very cool indeed! At first, I wasn't all that impressed - not hearing a whole lot of highs from this. Then found out I had "Cinema EQ" turned on - turned it off and WOW! This thing is amazingly clean and detailed.

Wanted to save some dough and buy the 533-VAC, but, I'm totally digging the new tweeter Aperion came up with (I also bought some 4Bs and love their sound).

For the audiophile, I definitely recommend this center. Only one I heard that is better is the Focal (forget the #), but that was $600!



Clean Compliment to a Surround System

Comments: You will not be disappointed with this Center channel if you are looking to clean, tight sound from a relatively small box. I am somewhat constrained in space being in an apartment so size considerations were important, but I did not want to lose performance and frequency response. The 5C really sounds great. It is an excellent compliment to the 5T towers and I am very happy how the sound fills my somewhat awkward room with ease even with the center channel above the TV!

I love this center channel. It looks great, sounds nice and really fits. Thanks Aperion!



5.1 Intimus system

Comments: I bought the 5.1 Intimus Harmony system...I received the center channel speaker as part of the 5.1 system. The center channel is incredibly clear. The only down side is it's size. It's rather large and it's been difficult to find a TV stand/entertainment center that has a open shelf that will accept this monster.



Outstanding clarity

Date: Monday, April 28, 2008
Comments: I purchased the 5c to compliment a 5.1 surround system. I always had trouble hearing dialogue clearly through the TV speakers, but with the 5c the mid-range is very clear and dialogue in both movies and on TV is outstanding. The problem now is that I must adjust the level when watching HDTV vs regular channels since the sound quality is so different (or I could just stop watching the regular channels, which I am fine with).

Comments: Awesome, thats all i can tell about this marvelous piece. I made my research for more than a year to buy some nice speakers for my home theater. My config is samsung DLP 56" with onkyo 805. Aperion released their 5 Series at the right time. They are amazing in every aspect. Style, Sound, Satisfaction. It has all the three SSS i look for. It adds a new look to my apartment. It came nicely wrapped in a professinal way and i am really proud to be a Aperion owner.



Terrific center audio that also looks great

Comments: The 5C has more things going for it than you can possibly list so I'll be brief. First, the audio is great. I'm pushing 60 and have a little trouble with dialog. The 5C' produces a very full sound; the mids are very noticeable. Second is the look. Unlike many centers the 5C doesn't look like a yacht sitting in front of your TV. My wife even said, "oh that looks nice". Great sound, great looks, great purchase.



Aperion 5C - another winner

Comments: Having heard the previous 5 line at a buddies house I took the jump on a full set of 5's (B and C). Out of the box I was moderately impressed - but not doing jumping jacks.. Then I realized that Audyssey had incorrectly set all my crossovers (Center was at 100Hz).. I moved the Center to 60Hz and the B's to 80Hz and am loving it.. These speakers are great at any volume and yes, the new tweeter does allow for a more smooth transition into higher volume levels.. These are great speakers but make sure you check your auto-calibration settings if you use it or calibrate manually..
