Aperion Audio may not be a household name in, well, audio, but it's newest offerings sure warrant a look from anyone mildly serious about sound. For starters, the outfit has completely revamped its Intimus loudspeaker line, now offering up nine models across three speaker series. As expected, the entire crew has been voice and timbre matched, and each speaker possesses the same tweeter so that all Intimus units can be mixed and matched to suit your fancy. Since we know a multi-channel system just isn't the same without a dash of low-end, the Bravus subwoofers were also introduced to handle those duties. The 8D, 10D and 12D units pack twin 8-/10-/12-inch subbies with 150/300/500-watts of power behind 'em. As for pricing, expect the new Intimus line to start at around $149 for a bookshelf, while the Bravus line ranges from $499 to $1,099.

Nice effort Aperion.... but what's the point of adding features like "Digital display with remote control" when the end-user is typically going to use this feature once or twice to calibrate and then just use this as a regular sub. These kind of features look good but add little "value" over the long run but sure do add up in the price.
I think it can't still beat the acclaimed 15" Sub from AV123:

Just bought Aperion speakers for my new home theater: 5C center, 5B for the front, 4B for the back, and 8D subwoofer. I have a small room (11x10) and these speakers are awesome. Was between these and Klipsch and think I made the right choice.

I just posted an interview with the CEO and the VP of Marketing for Aperion (It's on Episode 38). Next Week, I'll have a review of the entire Aperion Line (just got back from Portland to hear them in person).
