14 DAY TRIAL // As some of you might remember, back in October 2010, Aperion brought forth the impressive Verus Grand Home Theater Speakers, and now, the company's back with yet another line of audio solutions targeting specifically the home theater segment, namely the new Verus Forte line. The new line of speakers enables users to create their own home theater systems by combining a pair of tower speakers, a center channel and a pair of bookshelf speakers for surrounds, especially since the Verus Forte speakers match both from the audio and the design point of view (they're all housed in curved cabinets finished in gloss real cherry-wood veneer or piano-black lacquer).
The Aperion Verus Forte tower speakers feature a 3-way, ported, curved cabinet design, that incorporates the 1-inch Aperion Axially Stabilized Radiator silk dome tweeter, one 4.25-inch woven Kevlar mid-range driver with aluminum phase plug, two 4.25-inch woven Kevlar woofers with butyl rubber surrounds, as well as bi-ampable 5-way gold-plated binding posts.
The speaker also sports an anti-resonant MDF cabinet with internal bracing, a frequency response of (+/- 3 dB) 53-20,000 Hz; (+/- 6 dB) 47-22,000 Hz, a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, a sensitivity of 90 dB, as well as recommended power of 20-300 watts.
“We worked to produce uncolored, authentic sound in a small form-factor speaker by achieving a flat frequency response, a power response that slowly and evenly rolls off toward the highs and the lowest possible distortion,” says Ken Humphreys, Aperion’s lead speaker engineer.
“The Axially Stabilized Radiator tweeter we developed specifically for the Verus family handles a range beneath most tweeters, supporting the mid-range driver so the mid-high frequencies are as crystal clear as those at the top of the range,” Mr. Humphreys added.
Pricing for the new Aperion Verus Forte line of home theater speakers is $990 per pair for the Verus Forte Tower, $350 for the Verus Forte Center and $350 per pair for the Verus Forte Bookshelf, all of which will start shipping on on February 22, 2011.
