Bottom Line:   
Love the speakers, we use them as a surround sound speaker in a great room with an onko stereo.
Does any one know where you can get brackets to hang from the ceiling, we had some and lost them.
Bummber!

Bottom Line:   
This speaker makes a great center channel speaker. It's very detailed but lacks some bass even during DTS playback.

Bottom Line:   
These were a birthday present a few years ago when I started building my modest HT system. Alot of things in that system have changed over the years, but these things have stayed the same. They were acutally purchased to use as surrounds, but when I listened to them at home and compared them to the Bose 2.2's I had (hey I know Bose ain't the best, but they only cost me 50 bucks for the pair), the Bose became the surrounds, even though they are able to produce much deeper bass than the Infinity's. Coupled with a sub it became quite a nice little HT system, especially since the Bose rears can go fairly deep.

Bottom Line:   
Its an over good choice for a small room, college dorm, living room, or for a rear channel speaker in a surround sound set up. For what you can get them for now, I'll get s econd pair. I've had them for almost 6 years and they have been like old freinds. For those of you looking for bigger bass with these, try different positioning.

Bottom Line:   
In my humble opinion, the best speakers for under $200 are the JBL HLS610's. I just got these for my 'secondary' system. Amazing soundstage, response, and detail. I have a pair of 2000.2's I purchased from Damark as a 'tertiary' system for my home office. My primary system is in my family room, my secondary system, in my bedroom. These speakers are very average. Despite having monster interconnects and quality electronics (Yamaha discrete output, hi current amplifier, Nakamichi CD player, Onkyo P-304 preamp)connected to them, the sound is often a bit confined, boxy, and a bit muddled. This even with excellent quality source material (Roxy Music's 'Avalon', Alan Parson's 'Vulture Culture', or Lee Ritenour's 'Festival', for example. Perhaps, this is due to the inherent limitations of small speakers in general. Then again, I have heard countless compaints that Infinity's quality has gone downwards with some of their product line. It could be that this particular speaker is geared for the 'mass consumer', and not the audiophile, given it's inexpensive price. I still think Infinity could have done better with this speaker though. It lacks in many areas.
