The Verus Forte Center Channel speaker handles the center of attention like it was made for it—which, of course, it was. We kept in mind that most of the action in a movie or music video takes place smack dab in the middle of the screen. To make sure you hear every sound wave—and every ripple—our crew put on thinking caps (which double as rain hats in soggy Portland), then got to work. The upshot: our new Aperion PhaseSync driver, which couples the woofer with our patent-pending Axially Stabilized Resonator™ tweeter to keep the speaker as small as possible without sacrificing a bit of sound.
The Verus Forte Center can also handle being the center of attention, and why not? You’d be in the limelight too if you looked this good. We’ve enclosed the speaker in a slim, curvaceous cabinet, then wrapped it in a glossy finish that adds shine to any room. And though this speaker screams high-end, you’ll find the price makes it easily within reach.

New Aperion PhaseSync Driver
The Verus Forte line is intended for intimate spaces, and we wanted everyone in the room to have the best seat. So we built a new driver that optimizes on- and off-axis performance in the smallest size possible. The PhaseSync Driver packs the woofer and ASR tweeter into a single space-saving package. Coupled with the midrange driver, the Aperion PhaseSync lets Verus Forte deliver as much true-to-life sound as speakers nearly twice the size.
New Aperion Axially Stabilized Radiator
We engineered the new silk dome ASR to handle frequencies beneath most tweeters. Now the mid-high frequencies emit the same crystalline tones as their counterparts in the penthouse. From the pluck of a violin string to the screech of tires, the result is pure, authentic sound.
One 4.25" Kevlar® Woofer and One 4.25" Kevlar® Passive Radiator
The strength of Kevlar gives our woofers a trio of advantages: even dispersion, enhanced acoustics and bulletproof reliability. Add extra-long voice coils to decrease distortion and you’ve got the low bass you love. With woofers powerful enough to drive all but bottom-feeding frequencies without a dedicated subwoofer, you’ll find Verus’ bass response truly earth-shaking.
Furniture-Grade Finish
The slim curves of the Verus line’s first-rate cabinetry make us think “supermodel”—but the primo acoustic qualities means she’d have to sound as good as she looks. The finishing touch for every Verus speaker is a high-gloss cherry-wood veneer or piano-black lacquer that’s so right for every décor, your coffee table will be jealous.
5-way gold-plated binding posts
Bi-ampable is the techie way of saying you can connect one amplifier to the woofer and the other to the combined mid and tweeter. Separating the low- and high-frequency wiring helps eliminate interaction, isolate power and reduce distortion. The 5-way gold-plated binding posts let you connect your speakers any which way you choose: bare wire, banana plugs, spades, round pins or flat pins. Not only does the gold plating give your system some bling, it also serves a more practical purpose: to resist corrosion and provide the best possible connection to your receiver.
Magnetically Held Perforated Metal Grilles
To protect the speaker innards from accidents, pets or curious fingers, the entire Verus line sports perforated metal grilles that let sound flow through unchecked, improving imaging and reducing high-frequency reflection. Hidden magnets hold the grilles in recessed baffles.
