I like the crisp highs you get from these speakers in a HT set up. I have 7 of them for my 7.1 bonus room set up and they sound really good. Plus, they are a great value these days. I bought one new from circuit city (yep) many years ago, then started looking for good deals on Ebay. You can find them for around 80 bucks each. Pair them with a decent 12 inch sub and sufficient power and you wont regret it. They do fine with music also, but you will want to dial in the sound on the receiver. The build quality is excellent IMO too. I hid them behind cut outside in the walls so appearance wasn't a priority for me.

No real weakness. As a previous reviewer mentioned, they are a bit heavy. And the cabinet isnt fancy, just a rectangular box, if you are concerned with such nonsense. :-)

Lateral Soundstaging
Good speaker for small rooms

Very Heavy for their size.

I listen to only classical music.

Crystal Clear High frequencies
Somewhat forward midrange

I modified the speaker cabinets from bass reflex to acoutic suspension.
The bass now is clearer and less prominent.

This speaker needs an amplifier of at least 50 watts per channel.

This Infinity Beta C250 Center Channel Speaker replaced a 8 year old Polk Audio Center Channel. I can't believe what I was missing. Voices from TV and DVD's are so much more vivid and clear.
The $169.00 price was a great value and I would highly recommend Aucustic Sound Desgin.
