I have Aperion Verus Grand bookshelf speakers for my mains and I love them. I have them hidden behind some large speaker grills (from my previous speakers) and peoples jaws drop when I remove the grills and show them what's producing the sound. They DO, however, require a sub to prop up the bass. The Aperions come with a 30-day in-home trial and if you don't like them Aperion pays the return shipping.
