I have the Aperion Audio Grand Verus III V6T for over a year. I also have their V5B bookshelf speakers and V6C center channel. The V6T is a warmer sounding speaker with a rolled off top end, very clear midrange and adequate bass that goes down to 49 hz (-3 dB as tested by sound and vision magazine), extending to 35 hz (-6 db). The cones are small... they measure 5.5 inches across, so do not believe their claims of it being 6.5 inches. The sensitivity is average at 89 dB per 1 watt input as tested by s&V mag. The finish (cherry wood) is incredible, but the base/feet could be improved upon, it is small and not elegant as higher priced competitors. I absolutely love these speakers and they sound amazing, but as an audio enthusiast, there is room for improvement.
Sound-wise, they have an enormous sound stage. They play huge. Really huge. Its super super wide. The sound is velvety yet a bit punchy... I would describe it as organic and luscious. Very smooth integration top to bottom. Bass is punchy in the 50-100 hz range, not the fastest but can play fairly solid. The upcoming V8T with twin 8 inch woofers will improve on the bass performance. The midrange is very clear, and one of its key strengths. The top end is a bit rolled off, and test results also confirm this. It's not dull, but you won't get the B&W sparkle if you like lots of treble. Imaging is not too good, voices sound like are coming from the speakers, not from in-between the speakers. It may sound like I'm really critical, but for $2000 (when they are on sale), with the amazing customer support, and finish/quality, the speakers are quite a bargain. I strongly recommend you give them a trial as they have a 60 day free return policy. There's really no risk. Good luck!
