Here are my speakers ...

Once again getting showered with praise.
They make me happy I didn't get some veneer/vinyl set-up from an overpriced big box store.

Rock on!

I have not heard them, but I've read some good things about the Aperion line. Seems to be a good value and a good choice. Looks like they would be worth a listen- especially for someone looking to get a good start in HT. Rock on!

Have they changed their design?? The Aperions that I own are maple veneered high density fiberboard boxes.

I also have Aperions and am quite happy with them. Very sweet midrange and the imaging is best I have experienced with anything close to this price range. Hard to beat these for the price!

I recently got an Aperion subwoofer, S-8APR, to combine with the rest of my system (Paradigm Titans, CC-170, Atoms, and PDR-12 subwoofer). I think these are all excellent sounding speakers, I'm so happy with them!

I have a relatively small living room, so in particular I got the Aperion to reduce the room acoustic issues when only having one sub. Also I set them so that the Aperion handles the higher bass, and the Paradigm the lower ones. I went for the Aperion instead of another Paradigm because I liked the fact that it has those passive radiators on the sides, also it was very well reviewed by DVD ETC., particularly for music (actually it was ranked higher than the PDR-12), and most importantly, listening to it I liked very much it's fast and punchy sound, excellent little sub.
