These are big for bookshelf speakers and they sound good for the price. (Paid eighty five per speaker) The 6 1/2 inch drivers provide a decent amount of bass and they can do it with a surpringly low amount of power. I drove these for months with a stereo amp that pushes no more than 25 watts per channel. While they aren't screaming loud that way, as a horn-loaded speaker might be, they were loud enough to fill a fairly large room with warm, detailed sound at a pretty wide range of volume.

Eventually, I added a powered subwoofer to push some bass and free up wattage for the P162s and now they sound even better.

I built a fairly inexpensive system for music that sounds surprisingly good. I needed a speaker that didn't cost much but could do justice to a nice sounding, mid to low powered amp. The p162 did not let me down.

I've heard many recommendations from my audiophile friends for a good set of speakers keeping in mind surround upgrade for the future. P162 were one of them - work wonderfully. Crisp sound, very nice mids, overall a great value for the price.

For the price, the P-162's in the infinity series do have a distinctly better sound than the p-152's and the p-142's............I would recomend if the price difference was right.
