 I'm getting the feeling from you guys that the Infinity is a so-so speaker. Am I correct? Can you think of anything else in the sub $800 price range for a center and L/R set-up?
I did a search for the 360 and apparently they are all gone, there may be some used ones out there but I'm not big one used. |
Yeah the 360s are pretty tough to find used right now let alone new. With 800 bucks to spend on a stereo pair I would personally buy one of two set ups from ascend acoustics. Either the
Sierra-1 or the
CBM-170 now here is where it gets iffy. From all the measurements I have seen the CBM-170 has higher quality crossovers and drivers than the Sierra-1, but because of the cabinets used the Sierra-1 will produce a more neutral sound [due to a less resonance] and likely be preferred by most sonically.
The reason I still recommend the CBM as a possibility is because a pair of these coupled with stereo subs and a quality digital crossover would give you a more full range sound than possible with just the Sierra-1 alone. If you are willing to make future purchases towards this set up I would recommend the Sierra-1 for now and eventual stereo subs with a digital crossover for 'perfect' integration.
Edit: An example of a quality crossover unit is the Behringer DCX2496.
