Verus Grand Tower Speaker Pair

I have had my Verus Grand Towers for about a year now--and finally made it over here to post my review. These are by far the best speakers I have ever owned and they seem to sound better as time goes on. I have them set up with the Verus Grand Center speaker--and an SVS subwoofer. So I have them set as small/80hz. I use them primarily for movies--set in a relatively small 10x12 closed room--and they are incredible. I also use them for music--mostly streamed through Apple TV from MOG--I listen to a lot of classical music and they are perfect for it. Granted, streaming is not ideal even though MOG has the highest bit-rate among online streaming services, but the sound is impressive none the less. I consider myself a somewhat novice audio/videophile--especially compared to many who have far more impressive systems but I know what I like--and I love these speakers. Next up for me are the Verus Dipole/Bipole Surround speakers. Highly recommended!

At the moment I use VGT speakers mainly for music listening, satellite radio and DVD. Speakers are connected with OPPO BDP-93 and Denon AVR-3312CI.

Great sounding speakers with beautiful cherry finish. Speakers were delivered on time and well protected. Assembly and setup was easy. After listening VGT over month I\'m very happy of the natural tone of the sound. Crisp highs, clear mid frequencies with deep bass. Classical music, such as Sibelius Finlandia, is sounding the way composer himself wanted to listen it.

I can hardly wait for the next level of Aperion sound magic that will follow after this masterpiece.

I love these speakers. I purchased the Versus Grand Towers, Versus Grand Bookshelves, the Grand Center speaker and the Marantz 7005 receiver on 9/27/2011. The sound makes me smile every time I turn them on and up. Music and Movies sound great. I hear things I\'ve never heard before. The 30 day return policy and the 10 year guarantee really put my mind at ease. Every time I have a question the techs have worked hard to get me the answers.

Verus Grand Tower XD

I recently purchased a Grand Verus XD system with dipoles in place of bookshelves for a large log home in the forest overlooking a large river valley in Southern Oregon. As a Professional Engineer specializing in product development and CEO of a technology corporation, I can easily recognize a well designed high quality product. The gorgeous cherrywood finish resembles the color of the finest stringed instruments in an orchestra nicely complementing the walls of our log home. More importantly, I've never heard such fidelity that so precisely duplicates the sound of the instruments the speakers resemble. The Aperion system transforms our inspirational forest framed views into a deeply moving experience at both high and low power levels.
I found that the driver of the sub-wolfer had never been internally connected at the factory and was easily able to resolve the problem and report my findings, but otherwise everything looked and worked perfectly. Thanks for designing and providing such a spectacular listening experience with superior customer service.

Verus Grand Tower XD

The speakers sounded great right out of the box... got much better within a week.... setup was a snap and connectivity with all my devices (home network, Blu-Ray DVD player, iPhone, media server, Pandora etc.) was really simple!!! Movies and music - both sound exceptional on all speakers. Once properly calibrated, you will "feel" the sound and "see" the sound - seems to come at you from all over the room .....excellent width and depth.....!!! Build and Finish are top notch..!!! Great Product at a good price point...!! couple of my friends came to see it and were "bowled over" by the performance and clarity...!!!
Aperion - thank you very much for building these fantastic speakers.....!!!!!

When buying speakers like these, you are going for a long term investment (at least for me). I wanted something I could buy and be happy with for the next decade with no looking back. Thus far, no regrets. Great sound (I am not a trained ear, but they sound great to me), a great finish, and a responsive company behind them whenever I have a question. My current setup probably doesn't do them justice in terms of using a HQ amplifier and optimal seating arrangements, but I feel confident as I move forward in life, that these will outperform as I upgrade the other portions of my home theater setup.
I look forward to challenging these towers in the future.

I was looking for speakers to replace my Klipsch satellites in my bedroom. I listened to B&W speakers that sounded very good and Definitive Technologies, but after reading reviews and forums, I decided to give these towers along with the bookshelves and the center grand speakers a try. The return policy was too good not to try them. I was quite impressed in the improvement of sound, so much so that I preferred to stay in the bedroom and listen to music and movies. Then a thought? What if I had another Grand Tower setup for the living room to replace my large Klipsch system? I called Aperion and bought the second set. These speakers made the large Klipsch system sound bad especially in the mid range. No longer do I hear the brightness screeching from horns. The Klipsch had 12" woofers but the Aperion Towers put them to shame with clarity at every range: bass, mids, and highs. The Aperions are very smooth and do not shy away from power when needed. I am very happy with my decisions.

I upgraded from a set of 5T towers that have since found a new home back in the media room. My listening set-up is nothing fancy--a modest sized living room with plenty of bookcases but no pretenses of acoustic treatments, an Onkyo receiver with plenty of power but no aspirations of matching a dedicated amp, and a late model Aperion Sub with plenty of low but no misconceptions about winning Johnny-on-the-spot speed races.
I can't say that I ask much of my Grands. Be there when I get home after long hours of working and schlepping around a world of cantankerous sound. Be unassuming enough to make my wife take two weeks before she can put her finger on exactly what changed in the living room. Be honest with the sound I feed you and do your best to give musicians their proper space, emotion, and delivery.
I'll let you know if they ever let me down...

I've now had the Verus Grand Towers for about 8 months. I was most impressed right out of the box and I'm still discovering nuances in many of my recordings I hadn't heard before. You can't go wrong with these if you have a large enough area where you can take advantage of the room-filling sound. I searched long and hard for speakers to replace my 30-year old DCM Time Windows and I think I solidly found them. Great work, Aperion!

I was introduced to B&W (Bowers and Wilkins) 600 and CM series... I loved these speakers!! The music sounded so natural and clear. But when I auditioned them with movies, I was a little disappointed. Movies did not sound so amazing as with music. So I went ahead a researched most if not all the speaker companies that were in my price range (~$900). I started coming across a lot of reviews on Aperion, although all the high-end HiFi retailers knocked it down... unknown brand name, online only sales, etc... So I kept looking elsewhere. I came across Definitive Technologies and they are amazing with movies!! WOW!!! But play some music threw them and they'll fall short... And I can't afford two sets of speakers; music (B&W) - movies (Definitive Tech)... lol
So I broke down and decided to give Aperion a try...I called and spoke with them about their 30 day audition policy, shipping, etc and I felt a lot better about dropping all that cash for something I was unsure of...
When I got the boxes, I was blown away at the size of the box!! HUGE and HEAVY!!
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they were packaged and I loved the velvet bag they are wrapped in; I am definitely keeping this packaging in case I ever move. Anyway... The finish is gorgeous, they even included gloves to handle the speakers with... I thought it was to avoid finger prints and smudges, but its so you can grip the speakers!! The piano finish is so smooth and the speaker is soooo heavy, that you can't grip it with your bare hands, it just slides...
OK, so when I cranked up my stereo I was impressed with their sound quality!! They sounded just like the B&Ws!!! Very clear and natural sounding. I was hearing things in songs I never heard before!! And the bass these towers make was really surprising since they have relatively small drivers... but you'll swear there is a sub somewhere!!! Music sounds fantastic!!! I don't even fire up the sub anymore!!
Moving on to movies, the sound quality was awesome!!! For the first time, these speakers had me jumping out of my seat!!! And I thought my previous 12 year old Infinity setup was great; they now sound like crap compared to the VGTs. The towers sounded so awesome, I ended up watching movies in stereo because it sounded that much better than my 5 channel Infinity setup. The imaging was just amazing!!
So, my original plan was to try out the towers for a couple of weeks and decide if I really wanted to keep them, then see if I was going to purchase the center and surrounds later on. Well, the next day I ordered the Verus Grand Center... then a couple of day later the Verus Surrounds. Subs are on the horizon!!
These Verus Grand Towers are awesome speakers!!! Totally blew my expectations away!!!
I highly recommend these to everyone!!!
Thanks Aperion for all your help and for offering such a great product!!!
