Rich full sound!!

Pros: Solid performance and build quality, very reasonable price

Cons: Kind of bulky

Review: All I can say is WOW!!! I did the research and chose this center over a few more expensive models and man I'm glad I did. The sound is impressive in all applications. Movie dialogue jumps at you robust clarity and special effects seem augmented. I recommend this piece.

A great centre channel for any HT system.

Pros: Awesome clarity and sound; good bass.

Cons: None whatsoever.

Review: I work at Best Buy, so I have a lot of opportunity to try out the stuff we carry at home. This centre channel was the best of the bunch...even surpassing the twice-as-expensive Klipsh Synergy centre speaker.

When it came time to build my own HT system, the Infinity centre-channel was undoubtedly the obvious choice.

Cheers. :)

Could Stand On It's Own if it Needed To

Pros: Great voice projection, crisp well delivered sound

Cons: A little too big and bulky

Review: I picked this up to go with my Sony bookshelf and floor speakers and my Velodyne sub on a Harmon Kardon AVR 335. It sounds great. I was impressed in the store when the salesguy put on Hero with only the center channel running. You almost didn't need any other speakers to enjoy that particular scene. I really notice the travel of crisp sound when the DVD is DTS encoded. Worth every penny. My only complaint is the same as the editor's....it's a little big and bulky to fit in your home theatre. I had to buy a special shelf for it to fit on top of my Hitachi rear projection LCD.

Very good sound

Pros: I went back to movies I had allready seen with my other speakers and am becoming amazed at the difference in the quality of this center channel. After It's break-in it really is standing up to everything one can throw at it. I don't know if there is anoth

Cons: I don;t know if it's a con but it is not the best looking but I really don't care I am more than happy with the sound and the matching Primus 160's and 150's along with 2 Yamaha 150watt subs......
