Although I have no personal experience with Aperion, they appear to have earned excellent press and likely represent an excellent value. That being said, the established manufacturers I mentioned above have long histories of success at all levels of the hifi market. The techniques they refine in their higher end products ultimately are applied to more affordable ones at the level the poster is talking about. The speakers these companies make are all excellent considering the limits imposed by their pricing. The Peachtree is the unique product here - with an interesting combo of features, performance, and aesthetics. The monitor and sub combinations from any of these manufacturers will make you very happy. Just audition a few, select ones that suit your tastes, and educate yourself about how to best integrate them into your room. The towers at that end of the market will not offer the same lows a good sub can.
