Thanks for posting this info from my original link. I already told Aperion yesterday that I posted news of their new flagship on this forum. Thanks
@napilopez for fixing the scaling, I've complained to multiple sites and youtube reviewers to use consistent scaling to show the freq response. In my original post, I explained to warthor and others that Aperion does not want to spend money to advertise to big independent review magazines as it did not result in significantly more business. Hence that is why their brand is not well known in general (unlike some of their competitors like SVS) and it is hard to find true test results. How does audio science work in terms of picking speakers to review? Do they buy these speakers to review, or do consumers out of their good heart loan the speakers (and who pays for shipping)? Or do they work with the speaker company to see if they are willing to loan the speaker to them for review? I am highly interested in getting the V8T reviewed to see if the huge price jump is worth it. The only real tests so far on Verus is what I sent in a link previously -

Personally to me, speaker reviews are important, many manufacturers are not accurate in their claims on specs. As an example, the S&V review above is on the Verus II, but will give you an idea on sensitivity, freq response etc on their current Verus V6T III line. Aperion's published specs are incorrect for bass response for the V6T III (the bass design has NOT changed since V6T II that was reviewed in S&V magazine). Aperion claims -3 db at 35 hz for V6T on their website (but in the owner's manual, it states 45 hz for -3 dB), but you can see above, it is measured at 49 hz. I've told them about these typos, some which they have fixed, others which they have not... the guys over there (Collin/Dallas) are great dudes who are second to none when it comes to customer support as you can see in the trust pilot scores - (
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/aperionaudio.com)... they likely did not fix the spec errors that I pointed out to advertise and help increase sales by having good specs. I don't believe they are measuring their speakers in an anechoic chamber as they are a small outfit, it could be done nearfield using simple mics (and not a klippel system etc) that could pull in room factors to bump up the bass. I would bet their new V8T tower is -3 db at around 40 hz, nowhere close to 30 hz as they claim, but you don't know until it is measured. Hence test results are so important. While I love aperion audio, the value proposition for $4000 for internet speakers is not that good, as there are tons of good speakers in that price range... unless the measurements are superb. Here's to hoping someone thoroughly tests this new beast. I'll be the first to upgrade to the V8T if the results are good! They begin shipping the units in early April and open for pre-orders now.
