Summary:
These are amazing speakers. They are more capable speakers than most people will ever need. Right now they can be found on ebay for around $150 or less so they are a bargain. Bass is great and tight as long as you don't shove them up against the wall. The midrange on these is very accurate. I've used these for home theater and music listening. When I was living with a roommate, constantly she was answering the phone or looking out the window, because she heard a telephone ring or fire/police siren coming out of these speakers. These probably won't sound good with a cheap $100 surround receiver. The better amp the more they come alive. If your trying to save bucks I'd buy an old marantz 22xx series and prepare to be amazed. Also get some good speaker stands

Now the con for these speakers. If you are a serious listener you will find they have a small sweet spot left/right. They also should not be on too high of stands.. For ideal sound these speakers should be at minimum 1 foot away from the wall. Otherwise they sound boomy. A large listening room will be prefereble. I find 9-10 feet away from speakers gives the best imaging means your looking at probably at least a 15ft long room. Now all that said this is the ideal situation for music listening. Home theater is a little more forgiving because of the center channel

if you happen to be disappointed in these speakers MOVE them it will make all the difference. Stereo Review (I believe) did an article on these and compared them to much more expensive speakers and gave very good review.

I absolutely love these speakers! I love the higs and the mids and the lows. they are in balance with each other. good flat response.

Summary:
I bought these at circuit city a while ago, I was supposed to pay 175 a peice but for some reason he had rang them up at 150 a peice so i paid a total of 300.. Anyways I spent a few days reading reviews and trying out speakers.. after returning some BOSE that were just too big for my desk, I ended up with these.. The thing that struck me so well about them was the NICE bass response they had in the store, we fired up some dvd movies (like SW episode one) and the bass response during the pod racing scene was very rumbly and great.. I dont know if its becuase they were up against the walls or not, but i have them up near my walls too, and the bass is FANTASTIC.. I recently come to learn your receiver plays a large part in this.. I have them hooked up to an old vintage fisher 180 receiver.. (this receiver puts out a strong warm fat bassy signal) coming from my sb audigy 2.. I get really really great bass.. No sub woofer here.. not needed.. i almost have too much bass as it is.. These speakers really punch.. you just gotta use the right receiver.. I am super happy with these speakers and have never looked back.. The highs are perfect mids are great and bass is fantastic! I listen to alot of rock (new and old) and watch DVD movies on my computer as well as record music (these make excellent moniters for me too!) and games.. Perfect speakers for my desk.. I like the nice finish too..(the ones i have are have more of a heavey WOOD feeling to the wood they had another set there that were more vynilly-plasticy like..

Strengths:
These speakers feel pretty heavy duty.. and I think the way they are designed (being extra deep for their size) gives them their strong bass.. Great high's as well and gold plater connectors..

Weaknesses:
I'm not an audiophile perfectionist who needs to hear the 60million-hz sounds that dont even exist, So these speakers LACK a weakness.. Sorry.. if anything i'd have to say i wish they were cheaper so i could buy more for surround..

Summary:
i have owned these speakers for about 1 year now so this is a perfect time for a review.let me first say that i am a person who gets the upgrade bug all the time changing speakers and components frequently.now that i own the infinity IL 10 they are here to stay.people should wait for atleast 50 hours of breakin before rating these speakers as they have the cmmd cones.once the speakers break in the sound is downright excelent.frequency responce is almost ruler flat except for the lower octaves from about 45 hz and below.this is a bookshelf speaker so no one should expect it to play the lower frequencies like a subwoofer.the midbass is awesome and the speed is great the treble is smooth, but maybe a tad bright, but by no means edgy.the vocals are spot on acurate.i listen to both music and ht and the infinitys are great at doing both.

Strengths:
solid build quality.beautiful to look at.excelent frequency responce.

Weaknesses:
maybe could be a little more eficient.
