Aperion Audio is a pioneering American direct-to-consumer speaker manufacturer founded in 1998 in Oregon, born from a personal frustration with traditional retail speaker pricing when the founder's family boom box died and he realized that paying retail prices meant essentially buying the distribution channel rather than the speakers themselves, leading to the company's mission of delivering high-quality audio directly to consumers without traditional markup. Based in Wilsonville, Oregon (just south of Portland) at 25599 SW 95th Avenue, the company has operated for over 25 years as an early pioneer of internet-direct sales, establishing itself as a reputable manufacturer of premium home theater speakers, subwoofers, and audio accessories that combine audiophile quality with accessible pricing through their direct-to-consumer business model. Founded with an initial budget of $1,500 that rapidly grew into millions in capital within months, Aperion Audio maintains all core operations including design and engineering, sales, service, marketing, and management in Oregon while utilizing ISO9000 certified offshore manufacturing facilities to deliver award-winning products that have earned recognition in the audio industry. The company's comprehensive product portfolio includes flagship series such as the Verus speakers family for home theater applications and the Theatrus series designed for both professional music studios and film production facilities, alongside diverse offerings spanning tower/floorstanding speakers, bookshelf speakers, center channel speakers, surround speakers, and subwoofers that cater to various audio setups and budgets. Operating under the philosophy of providing high-end performance at affordable prices without requiring customers to overspend for premium sound, Aperion Audio differentiates itself through exceptional customer service practices including 30-day in-home auditions that allow customers to test speakers in their own environment, lifetime customer support, up to 5-year transferable warranties, hassle-free returns, and completely free shipping to the continental United States. With a team of 51-200 employees led by management including General Manager Christine Telfer and Online Marketing Specialist Stefan Stignei, the company maintains its commitment to personal customer interaction through live chat services, phone support at (503) 598-8815, and email assistance at [email protected] during business hours Monday through Friday. As Aperion Audio marks its 25th anniversary in 2024, the company continues building on its reputation for durability through premium materials construction, innovative engineering solutions, and award-winning customer service that has established them as a trusted name in the home theater and audiophile speaker market throughout North America and beyond.
