Introduction
There is little not to like about the Intimus 5B bookshelf speaker system. The Intimus 5Bs have the ability to disappear into a room thanks to their excellent imaging capabilities and very detailed open sound. Aperion Audio proved in droves that they could combine great sound, aesthetics (score one for the wives) and build quality into a compact package that most budding audiophiles can afford. Their masterfully executed fit and finish of the cabinetry make these pieces of furniture that just happen to sound really good. Mated with a powered subwoofer, you’ve got audiophile performance and aesthetics on the cheap. Considering their very liberal return policy, FREE 30 day home trail program and FREE shipping (both ways) I can’t say anything else other than “highly recommended!”

I'd like to see a review dedicated just to their Bravus line of subs.

Aperion does make a excellent product. Customer service is top notch. Warranties and in home trial is the icing on the cake. I have 4 5 series speakers for surrounds and they sound great. When I play 7 channel stereo during music playback it sounds amazing.
