Summary:
These are some of the best sounding speakers for the money. The produce excellent audio quality and don't color the sound at all. They are very rugged and people that listen to them can't belive the sound that comes out of them. Another reviewer said that he would put them up against any other system. Well, I don't think I would say that. However, they rival speakers costing huindreds and even thousands more. If you can find a pair, I would definetaly purchase them if they are in good shape. I recently picked up a pair to complete my surround sound system from ebay for a 100 bucks. Now I have a complet set for front and rear.

Strengths:
Even audio reproduction across the entire audio spectrum

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
I have used these speakers for a few years now. I listened to all sorts of competition (hooked up to my HK receiver) before choosing them. I narrowed everything down based on sounds. These were the only ones left standing. I love them. I have listened to all sorts of movies and all sorts of music. These speakers have done a great job throughout it all.

Summary:
System has infinity RS-5''s as main, RS-3''s as rears and cc-3 as center powered by Yamaha DSP-A1. Low end provided graciously by my B+W ASW-2000 sub. This system rocks for the cash spent. I pound the crap out of the system and and have had no problems. It''s not the Corvette but maybe the Camaro w/ 6 speed. Thought about upgrading to Nautilus 804''s w/rotel RB 1090 amp but still debating? Music and dvd''s sound awesome.

Strengths:
Infinities are always a great choice if your on a limited budget. Best bang for the buck.

Weaknesses:
big... An interior decorators night mare.

Summary:
I agree with you Matt - these speakers simply play music wonderfully. I bought these speakers in the US and I just love these speakers. I brought them home with me to Norway (spend a lot of money on that) because there aren't many loudspeakers that I truly fall for. And besides, I couldn't buy this reference series in Norway. There, it's only one place who sells Infinity (web site; www.eufonia.no)and they sell Kappa and a different Reference series. Compared to the US, Infinity in Norway are much more expensive.
These speakers produce sounds like no other I have heard with a soft crisp sound and sufficient tight bass. Compared to the new line Infinity is out with, these give out a much better sound.
If anybody can get their hands on a pair of these speakers, BUY THEM!!! They fully deserve five stars.

Weaknesses:
None except that they are not produced anymore.
