Infinity has been making high performance loudspeakers for more than 40 years.
Advancing the Science of Sound for 40 Years.
Are you passionate about good sound? We are. With groundbreaking technologies, revolutionary materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, Infinity® loudspeakers have set new standards for performance, simplicity and style for 40 years. Since 1968, when engineers passionate about music founded Infinity in a California garage, its critically acclaimed loudspeakers and design leadership have remained unchallenged. Through the years, state-of-the-art engineering facilities and unmatched resources have allowed Infinity manufacturers to design and develop innovative loudspeakers and loudspeaker technologies that push the limits of accurate sound reproduction. Breakthroughs such as the proprietary Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (CMMD®) technology, Metal Matrix Diaphragm™ (MMD®) design and Maximum Radiating Surface™ (MRS™) drivers are among the best examples of Infinity technologies that critics have roundly acclaimed - and competitors have widely adopted.
And the good work doesn't stop there. The makers of Infinity speakers ensure superior sound by building costly models and conducting unprecedented double-blind listening tests against the competition. A multilevel listening lab and other steps that Infinity takes to guarantee the ultimate listening experience are unprecedented in the industry.
CMMD is engineered to be both extremely rigid and light-weight.
Music and Movies as They Were Meant to Be Heard.
Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (CMMD) Technology
A well-engineered loudspeaker should be like a window into an artist's soul, so that you hear exactly what they intended you to hear without changes or alterations to the sound. Breakthrough CMMD speaker technology does just that with incredibly stiff yet incredibly lightweight materials.
All drivers in the C336 are made of this incredible CMMD speaker material. Each driver starts with a cone of aluminum that is then sandwiched between ceramic layers, creating a material that is strong enough to hold its shape while still remaining very lightweight. Their light weight makes them extremely faithful in starting and stopping when the signal in your music or movie does. And since it’s so strong, a CMMD driver can also reduce distortions caused by bending or flexing of the cone, keeping your music or movie from sounding odd or unnatural. And with low bass extension down to 35Hz along with extended high-frequency response far past 40kHz, the C336 is the perfect speaker for today’s high-definition entertainment experience
When it comes to comparing CMMD to the materials that the competition uses, it’s no contest. The CMMD cone is both stronger and lighter and since it is used for all drivers, unlike the typical loudspeaker, the speaker stays tonally matched. The result? With the Infinity Classis C336 floorstanding loudspeaker you’ll enjoy your music and movies with every little detail and all the realism and sound that the artist intended.
A waveguide ensures a great sound experience everywhere in the room
Constant Acoustic Impedance™ Waveguide
Where you sit in a room as you listen to speakers can have just as great an effect on their sound quality as the speakers themselves. To make sure listening to the C336 is a great experience everywhere in the room, Infinity speakers use a proprietary "waveguide" around the tweeter. This waveguide ensures a wide dispersion of the high frequencies throughout the room while keeping them both accurate and natural-sounding. The result is an enveloping, realistic sound experience throughout the entire room, making the C336 perfect for critical music and movie reproduction.
Low-Resonance Enclosures
A poorly designed speaker enclosure can actually resonate and add its own "sound" to your music. That kind of speaker is like a guitar; a guitarist may use multiple guitars because they all resonate differently, each producing its own unique sound. While this variation is important for a classical guitarist, it isn't good for a loudspeaker.
Resonance can really change a speaker's overall tonal balance and alter the sound of the recording that it plays. Infinity has designed the C336 with pinpoint locations for internal bracing ensuring that its enclosure is so rigid that it does not vibrate or resonate. Bass sounds accurate and resonance free with out overpowering the rest of your speakers.
Infinity has also engineered the C336 enclosure to be a narrow, space saving design by using multiple, smaller woofers rather than just a single larger woofer.

Infinity Classia C336 Reviewed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Infinity Classia C336BK Three-Way Speaker (High Gloss Black, Each) (Electronics)
The Infinity Classia C336 is rather soft on the eyes with elegent lines and finishes, well constructed in a Far East Communist country like most and might I add a great value at their current market price. However, one should go into this relationship with knowledge of your new life partner. The sound crossover is front biased while great for home cinema I did not like my pair for soft music. I still like those old silk-dome tweeters for my music. This is a large speaker pair and all that sound needs a big room as they could open up quite well with vivid imaging, 3-way sound seperation was also there with deep mid-range. I expected more low end punch however from six 6.5inch woofers so some dynamic range was absent. You will want a subwoofer. I did not bi-wire but did use a new Harman/Kardon 3490 receiver with great power and dynamic movement. I even have an equalizer but the high end remained strong and clear. I remember Infinity as a smooth and natural speaker. This new model was just too gleeful for me. I listen to more music and watch few new action movies. I therefore will remained committed to a two-channel dimension. If you have multi-channel needs you might think about the Classia series.

CLASSIC act from my CLASSIA'S,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Infinity Classia C336BK Three-Way Speaker (High Gloss Black, Each) (Electronics)
I absolutely love my Classia C336BK Speakers. The speakers are very elegant in styling, not to mention their dynamic sounds. After listening to a CD that I had listened to in the past,I was amazed to hear naturally, crisp, fine tunes, that I hadn't heard before. The bass was not at all overpowering and the mids and highs were on point. It is important to note that you must position the speakers close to the wall to emit more bass or further away from the wall to emit more highs/midrange. All of this depends on an individuals listening/discerning taste. Did I mention that I love my speakers? Well I do! and I will be ordering the bass (woofer), center, and bookcase speakers as well, in-fact I just did..Ohhh and I ordered the R>A>B>O>S kit (can't wait to try it out). GREAT price Amazon.. Got my DENON4310 cued up and ready and soon my other Infinity speakers will arrive, can't wait to put my gear to the ultimate test.

This review is from: Infinity Classia C336BK Three-Way Speaker (High Gloss Black, Each) (Electronics)
I've always been a big fan of Infinity home and car audio. When their product lines have been around for a while or go discontinued the value becomes amazing. People have been saying the Classia line was $4K when originally released (I'm assuming that was for the full 5.1 setup.) That's a decent deal but they definitely have competitors like MK, Focal and others at that price point. I've been watching the prices fluctuate on these babies for a while and I decided to grab them at $280 a piece shipped before they became unavailable. At that price I just couldn't resist.I'd been running some older entry level Infinities which were not really getting the job done. My main focus is on music and they proved to be peaky and certainly didn't have the bass support needed to form a proper soundstage. This was exacerbated by the poor acoustics of my square living room and being forced to have the sub behind the couch. I was ecstatic to find all of these problems minimized or eliminated by these towers. The best thing about this set is evenness and clarity. Moving from the peaky old Infinities to these was like night and day. While listening to these speakers you get the feeling that you're hearing the music exactly the way it was intended to be heard when mixed. Instruments and vocals are in their proper places and due to the clarity of the drivers sublime nuance is exposed. I've had quite a few sets of Infinity speakers over the years and on a couple of them the tweeters have been too bright for my tastes. Fortunately these Classias are extremely well balanced, sweet and smooth, never harsh to the ear. Some of the reviews say the Classia towers are too bass heavy when placed too close to the wall. In my personal experience I didn't find this to be the case. In fact I was hoping for a bit more frequency response on the low end however these speakers were designed to be used with the Classia subwoofer. I previewed them for a while without the sub to see what they could do. While they won't knock your house down like an old pair of Cerwin-Vega 15" floor monsters or the like, the bass they do provide is extremely tight and pleasantly articulate. Keep in mind I am also a bass freak so many people will probably prefer them just as they are. They still have more than enough bass to get you in trouble if you live in an apartment. On the other hand if you're the type of person who listens to music with very low bass or just wants the "Jurassic Park" effect when watching movies you will need to get the sub too. On a side note I think having the port high on the back of the speaker rather than low is a great design. When you're in a sitting position the port is right about ear level. It's hard to tell how much difference it makes because my previous speakers were sealed but it seems to help and the midbass sounds great. At the end of the day I haven't come across a comparable pair of speakers within $300 of this price point.
