Should I continue to wait impatiently based on your opinion of the speaker?
I have to say I am about to
Cancel and order something
Else....

I hooked up rc263 on Sunday without any issue. I have not tried extensively or tested in different settings. I did change my receivers setting for center from small to large. Plan to do more this weekend. So far I incline to keep it giving the price I paid and my old center was 10+ year old.

Giving multiple posts saying they got shipping notice, hopefully yours will be shipped soon.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try and be patient
For the time being. CS did tell me my order would be in the next batch to ship, but that is certainly taken with a grain of salt. We shall see.
Thanks again

Um Guy. Could it be your room and possibly your power?
Mine sound fantastic through all 3 ranges.
And at $199.00 hard to beat the sound quality for that price. Of the 4 towers I have up front the R263s are easily top two and at sale price the cheapest of the group.
You might want to give them some playing time for break in, course mine were killer right out of the box

I'm upgrading a pair of Polk Rti8. I find the polks richer and fuller sounding. The infinity do have a harsh tweeter which some have mentioned. They're in the same room the polks are in and I'm using a new Yamaha TSR-700. What did you upgrade from or comparing them to?

I have 4 towers up front. A pair of Klipsch F300 for the fronts in my HT. A pair of Klipsch R28F running on my
Tube amp. The Infinitys are running AB on a Yamaha S301 with a pair of Elac 2.0 F 6.2s The Infinitys are more musical and efficient than the Elacs, but the Elacs to me are more laid back and rolled off on top. Very flat response that I love.
The speakers that were on the bubble with the Infinitys were a pair of Polk S60's.
Really nice speakers, but for me and my listening room I prefer the sound of the Infinitys.

I would not even describe the Infinitys an upgrade over the Polk's, but I had more invested in the Polk's and free returns. Decided to keep the Infinitys, but not an easy decision.

I just got off the phone with support. They also confirmed the RC263 in stock as well as R263s which were also backordered. However, they had to request a transfer of stock to the warehouse servicing me, KY, as that warehouse doesn't have any yet. They requested a transfer of all 3 speakers and alerted the KY warehouse to reserve them for me. Seems like a strange supply chain, but I'm glad to hear these are back in stock. I ordered Dec 2, shipping warehouse in Kentucky.

I just received my shipping notice. No tracking yet, but should track tomorrow.
Pretty cool they got 900 of them.

See my comment at the bottom of thread. Shipping confirmation arrived just minutes ago. Normally just a two day transit time from central Kentucky to western Virginia, so should have mine by the weekend.
Gotta dig out Tron Legacy and Fury Road!!!

My RC263 shipped today as well. Glad to see they have come back in stock. I've been using one of the infinity surround speakers as my central speaker. I can finally set those up to complete a 7.1 system.

Mine also shipped from Kentucky today. I ordered 11/27. I was honestly thinking about cancelling and returning the center and subs with a RP-450C and a pair of PL-200II, respectively. Guess I'll hold off on that decision.
