Aperion's new Intimus speakers look to stand out while blending in

Aperion Audio Intimus 6-IW and 6-IC speakers

Just about everybody's hopping in on the in-wall/in-ceiling bandwagon, and as much as audio purists might chortle at the product sector, adding speaker cabinets to keep up with the ever-growing number of surround channels will soon force everyone but the "sweet spot" listener right out of the living room. For those who would rather have flesh and blood (as opposed to MDF) friends soaking up the latest movie with them, Aperion Audio has added in-wall (6-IW) and in-ceiling (6-IC) variants to its Intimus speaker lineup. These new models seem to hold up the value proposition that makes Aperion so popular -- for $149 (each) you get a 6.5-inch woofer and silk dome tweet (both drivers aimable) and tone controls for tailoring the sound to your room.

In-ceiling speakers are a complete waste of money. I can't imagine spending big money on a surround sound system only to have all of the sound come from the heavens. If your "chick" says they have to go in the walls, don't bother. No sound is much, much, much better than bad sound. The little woman may like how it looks, but that's because she couldn't care less how it sounds. My suggestion: Marry a woman who loves audio-video bliss. There are a few left on the market!
