Intimus 6C Center Channel
Aperion's
flagship center channel has always been a fascinating design to me. If you step
back, you'll see it as a well-designed two-way speaker that is
vertically-aligned, closely matching the dispersion of the left and right
towers. Additionally, Aperion adds a couple of 6.5-inch woofers to round out
the bass response. So it’s a three-way speaker that is a timbre-matched design
with correct dispersion and extended low-end response to get a better blend
with the subwoofer. The 6C has the same
1" HDF construction but is a sealed design (there's no port). The nice
thing about a sealed Center channel design is that those who are required to
put it into cabinetry or alcoves will be able to do so without fear of blocking
a rear port. And of course with a Center channel, you don't want to waste
valuable front-side real estate on a port either. It's a decent design and one
that resulted in a natural presentation with a surprisingly low frequency extension
(we believe it got down to every bit of its stated 55Hz response, far below the
80Hz crossover frequency we set for the system.
