I did a great deal of research to find the perfect speakers for my needs. I wanted speakers that were small yet powerful and well built. Infinity makes fantastic speakers, and you can tell by how much these things weigh that they are solidly built.

I hooked these up to my receiver and was blown away by the clarity. No matter what the source is, these speakers seem to be able to pick up and seperate all the different sounds. The subwoofer is amazing, it literaly shakes the house when turned up, but when set at a more moderate level it picks up just the right amount of bass to bring more reality to movies and clarity to music.

I can't think of one thing that I dislike about these speakers. I have compared them to the Bose Acoustimass system which costs more than twice as much, and while you may be getting slightly larger speakers, you are getting an amazing system.

Bottom line, at this price, you will not find a better set of speakers.

I have to say I was a little doubtful of the speakers since it was suggested by my local Circuit City guy but he convinced me that I would love them and I do. I have it hooked up to an entry level Harman Kardon AVR 140 and the sound is really impressive. I was looking for small speakers that could give me great sound quality and I found them in this set up. The subwoofer is awesome with the LFE set up and really kicks in when you need it. The other speakers have outstanding clarity. When you take the speakers out of the box you can feel and see how well they are made. I went from using a HTIB Sony set up (which BTY was a complete waste of $400 because the center speaker went bad after only a year) to my new AV set up and couldn't be happier. Wife loves the sound.

These speakers are fantastic. It is difficult to find smaller satellite speakers that sound good for music but these do the trick. They have a great mid-range, highs, and lows. Don't be fooled by the Bose is best mentality. Bose is a heavily advertised brand but not worth the price. They don't use the high quality materials that Infinity does and they cannot achieve the kind of pure sound that the Infinity speakers are known for. Remember when shopping for any type of sound, you get what you pay for. Also, most times the companies that most people have not heard of are the best, Onkyo, Harman Kardon, Denon, Boston Acoustics... Stay away from the home theater in a box if you want good sound with low distortion and do research don't just buy a Sony because it matches the television.

My son-in-law picked it out as his Christmas gift. He is always helping with our computers, so we splurged for him. He loves the speakers. My daughter says the windows have rattled only a couple of times!!
