R263s have been $199/ea in past sales, otherwise these all match the lowest prices I can recall. Over the course of a few sales I've picked up the R263s, RC263, and R162s to fill out a 5.1 system (with HSU sub). For the price I've been extremely happy.

Yes, the RC263 is worth the extra $50 and is a steal at $150. Make sure it fits as it's a big center.
Yes. Just finished a theater basement remodel. Came from a Jamo setup to the R263/RC263/R162s and the difference in sound is night and day.

They are aesthetically pleasing too. Here's my setup

I was wondering about this, as I missed out on that sale and I've literally refreshed slickdeals every day waiting for today. Which ones did you purchase? I picked up the 263 center and towers but yea...worried about how they'll ship. Wish there was a "extra care" option or something. I'd gladly pay for it.
Not everyone experienced this issue but the boxes do seem thin when you compare it to the size/weight of what they contain. Could also have been the holiday season and the number of shipped items.

Quote from JesusFreak :
Odd. I ordered 13 total speakers (9.x.4 setup) from them in one of the first of these deals and don't recall any damage at all.
My RC263 box literally had one corner missing and one of the R263 box had a gash in the middle. Others reported similar issues with packaging in the previous SD thread as well as the AVS forum. Some were even unlucky to have to deal with the process of returning items which was another ordeal based on certain posts. Guess it boils down to luck cause their boxes, in my opinion, are thin for the size/weight of what they carry.

Absolutely need a receiver. These speakers are not "self powered".

Great deal! Just finished setting up a set of R263s, R162s and the RC263 from the similar priced BF deal. They provide a very nice and clear sound stage, far better than I expected. I told myself to order the surrounds and more bookshelves at this price. Glad they are back. Really, for the money these are great. The RC263 is beast and produces a lot of clear dialogue. My non audio centric wife noticed it immediately and love the system as a whole. Be wary of backordered items though, logistics are d hit or miss these days. I also got one damaged speaker through shipping. Scratch and dent. Did the rma process and got the replacement after a week. Boxes should be better but it also looked like UPS hit it with a fork lift.

Noob question but if I'm starting out should I buy one of each items listed in the post and then a receiver and I should be good?
YES

You should buy the 6" versions for the front. It's up to you whether you want the floor standing or bookshelf's for the front.

This line will be endgame for 98% of slick dealer's

Infinity SUB R12 or Klipsch R-12SW? I'm guessing there's probably not a big difference between the two and either's a decent value at this price?

I bought the RC263 on black Friday and was just deliverd two weeks ago.
The speaker integrates well with my existing HT but i must say, the cabinet designer for Infinity must have graduated from the Helen Keller school of speaker design.
As soo as you add your speaker wires (i am not talking lamp cord type but rather some 10-14 guage) the weight of the wire will pivot the speaker so that instead of pointing at those in front of the speaker, it inistead pivots and the directivity is at the ceiling.
It can be fixed by placing a block or something to stop the pivot but its sort of an embarassment for a reference, top of their line speaker
I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't have this problem you speak of at all!

I'll chime in and say I love my R162/RC252/RS152 speakers. As long as the speakers show up in one piece and your item isn't back ordered Infinity is ok. Otherwise their customer support is bizarre and slow.

If anyone is interested in the RS152 I love mine a lot, I have them mounted on my office walls and they look and sound awesome. They are a really cool design.

It would sound different, I personally wouldn't mix Klipsch with these. Now if it's just the subwoofer sure.

I agree with that you should listen to speakers and try them out if possible. But it's hard to try out all these speakers. I have to say that

If they don't upgrade to this they will regret it for the rest of their life. Roll

End game for me.

You won't find a more BUDGET wannabee aUdioFile than me.

Fair enough so if you "agree with that you should listen to speakers and try them out if possible" which IS possible!
Please tell me how your opinion or any of those reviews you posted truly answer what YOU just agreed to? Scratchhead
