Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Well-balanced, reasonably priced floorstanding loudspeakers are not easy to come by, but Infinity's Reference Series RS-4 is a great example of dynamic, nearly full-range loudspeakers that don't require a second mortgage to enjoy.

On the Infinity RS-4 speakers, music ranging from rock to classical and new age sounded equally at ease, with acoustic instruments and voices sounding especially full-bodied and natural. We were immediately impressed with the high sensitivity of the RS-4 speakers: At 90 dB, even small integrated amps or receivers can drive this system toward its 112- dB limit. Even under dynamic duress, the Infinity RS4 system maintained its "snap" and punchiness, never flattening out or congesting at the loudest passages of our test material.

At its loudest, the RS-4 system got a bit "peaky" in the high frequencies, and the highs in general sounded "harder" or more metallic than those from better, higher-priced speakers, but these qualities pale beside the RS-4's considerable strengths.

The RS-4 imaged well and its bass extension was strong, commanding decent--and clean--low frequencies even in smaller rooms. Used with a powered subwoofer, the RS-4 kicked even lower, but the subwoofer was by no means necessary. If you're looking for a well-rounded speaker pair to upgrade your music system or start building a home theater, the magnetically shielded Infinity RS-4 speaker system is a fine place to start.

Pros:

• High sensitivity
• Good tonal balance
• Strong dynamics
• Easy placement

Cons:

• High frequencies slightly "hard"

I love these things, they fit wonderfully into my system and have great response. The bass is thick without being muddy and the mids and highs are crisp and clear. I got them on sale and have been more than impressed with the money I spent. It has been a joy to listen to them, everything sounds wonderful from Mos Def to Johnny Cash to Aerosmith and Van Cliburn. I just can't say enough about these, to bad I have relegated them to my bedroom for my listening pleasure and not letting everyone else enjoy them.

I got these speakers at a more expensive price. These speakers are very high in quality. I think they're worth more than what you pay for.
