Verus V8T Tower Speakers | 3-Way Design | 8" Woofers | Tower Speakers We are introducing the APERION® flagship Verus III Concert V8T Tower Speakers. After 21 years of nonstop engineering development and countless hours toiling in the lab, we proudly announce one of the best floor-standing tower speakers in the world. The Verus V8T Tower Speakers, a large-scale, three-way speaker featuring dual 8" woofers, dual 5.25" midrange woofers, our Axially Stabilized Verus Tweeter, and a premium crossover network, our Verus Concert Tower unveil the peak of Aperion Audio engineering. Truly a concert-like experience, we ensured the performance of this speaker will shine an invisible light of happiness and wisdom with our customers as proof to understanding the value of the Aperion Audio's brand. We stand for the best in customer service, product build and sound quality. So here's a huge thank you to all of our customers who have allowed us to bring audio happiness to your homes for 21+ years. Here's to many more.

To address this conundrum, we went to the drawing board with the goal of developing a tweeter with a diaphragm that resists “rocking” near its resonant frequency. By pinning the diaphragm’s center in a plane above the voice coil, it became “axially stabilized,” which minimizes unwanted distortion. The silk dome is coated in a specially developed damping compound to ensure a smooth and accurate response with controlled resonance. The refined "wishbone" waveguide has resulted in better output, with more uniform frequency response and wider dispersion across its operating range. The ferrofluid cooled voice-coil is driven by a high-energy ferrite magnet motor. 5.25" Kevlar Midrange Drivers With Aluminum Phase Plug All woofers in the Verus family employ Kevlar cones. With the crossover point starting at about 300 Hz, this exceptionally rigid Kevlar material allows for a warm, clean and dynamic response. This is driven by a high-performance ferrite magnet structure with a vented pole piece to reduce heat build-up and larger T-yoke for increased excursion to increase bass response. The aluminum phase plug and extended voice coil increases power handling to ensure they perform to the max. These midrange "bullet drivers" provide an extraordinary level of detail contributing to the Verus V8T Tower Speakers full-color palette of sound. Custom 8" Kevlar Long Throw Woofers The dual 8" Kevlar woofers provide intense punch with a long-throw linear excursion design. These anchor the bottom end of the 3-way crossover network to provide a tight, clean and accurate low-bass response. Advanced Crossover Time-intensive iterative designing and fine-tuning of the crossover networks have resulted in a smoother, more neutral, and better balanced frequency response across the whole range. Enhanced phase integration between the tweeter and midrange drivers have also resulted in a cleaner, more open sound in the transition regions. The Verus III employs superior customized components, which include high quality thin film capacitors to provide minimum dielectric loss, customized Aperion internal wiring with spade connectors to make upgrading a breeze, and we even went as far as customizing the PCB board with an Aperion red color to represent our love of great sounding audio! Level Adjustment For the midrange and tweeter we have chosen a crossover that has a fast transient response and a minimum of phase shifting. The connectors are of a bi-wiring type so that you can connect to the amplifier with double cables (bi-wiring), or connect to one or two amplifiers to further improve the sound. Optional Port Plugs Optional port plugs are included with the Verus V8T Tower Speakers. If the speakers are placed close to a wall or they sound "boomy" in your room, one or both of the foam plugs may used to control the bass response. Furniture-Grade Finish The slim curves of the Verus line’s first-rate cabinetry make us think "supermodel"—but the primo acoustic qualities means she’d have to sound as good as she looks. The finishing touch for every Verus speaker is a high-gloss cherry-wood veneer or piano-black lacquer that’s so right for every décor, your coffee table will be jealous. Custom Lightweight Magnetic Grilles To protect the speaker's drivers from accidents, pets or curious fingers, the entire Verus line sports a lightweight magnetic grille which can easily be removed when you want to show off your beautiful speakers to friends and family. Note: To remove the grille, gently pinch the grille cloth at the top with your fingers and pull it outward to take it off easily. Custom Aluminum Bases, Floor Spikes We designed and customized these outriggers to match the sound quality and beautiful looks of our flagship Verus III V8T Tower Speakers. This new design delivers better stabilization, enhanced acoustical isolation, and brings the Verus V8T Tower Speakers to the true audiophile realm.
