#50 Infinity Reference R162: $500 Discontinued Bhphotovideo
Pros: CEA2034 spinorama shows good directivity with wide, consistent horizontal and vertical response, and blended early reflections that need little room treatment. 1” CMMD waveguide tweeter and 6.5” CMMD woofer, 85.5dB sensitivity.
Cons: Elevated output above 3kHz adds brightness, with a resonance around 700Hz and some distortion near the crossover point. EQ or a simple inline tweeter resistor can tame the treble; the reviewer still called it a very enjoyable system for the price. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Buchardt S400 MKII - $1900 more, 0.8Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Klipsch RP-600M II - $10 cheaper, 0.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
