Infinity Reference Speakers: RS152 Loudspeakers (Pair) $130, RC252 Center Expired

The measurements bore out that they trump a lot of mid level speakers, especially the RC263. Aesthetically however its not gonna win any awards.

The Wife Approval Factor is also rather quite poor.

^ Everything he said. Though you have to admit, very few mid-level and no entry-level speakers are built using this [crutchfieldonline.com] quality and construction.

Does anyone have their RC263 mounted? I think this is the route I want to take, right into the studs that are mounting the TV above. Looking for mount suggestions

I used 2 of these. rated I think to 100 lbs. works great.

That's good to hear. Hope they get restocked and put on sale again soon.

Any recommendations on four good value two way circular in-ceiling surround speakers?

This is what I had in mind, I like the lip on the front for security. Did you have enough room for banana plugs on the back?

Just to share my experience. After much reading, I ordered the RC263, 2x R253s, and an R-12 on Tuesday to replace my 12-year old HTIB speakers. They arrived on Thursday—I was shocked how quickly they were shipped and delivered. The R-12 box basically had a whole corner torn off of it, and one of the R253 boxes had a big tear in the side where something had hit it. Surprisingly, neither had any damage, and all pieces were in pristine condition. These speakers are heavy, well-built, and extremely large. The center is huge as described by others; I mean, cost me some capital with my wife when she saw the box and asked me what the heck it was. I'm using an Onkyo TX-NR686 receiver. After calibration and some adjustment, the sound is amazing (my primary usage is home theater, not music). I'm extremely pleased with this setup, and grateful that I caught this sale from SD. I have a 65" Sony TV that I mounted on a stand on top of my entertainment console. Fortunately, it was super easy to raise my TV a few extra inches to accommodate the monster RC263. Link below to the stand that I'm using and highly recommend. It has plenty of room to provide the clearance needed for the center, and is very stable.

I can't remember where it was but one of my speakers showed a manufacturer date of 2018 or 2019. It seems like they are still producing them.

I highly recommend the RSL c34e ceiling speakers. They are a frigging amazing value for the price! Not technically value-priced ($500 total for 4), however, you probably won't get a better bang for your buck. I have 4 of these in the ceiling and they sound great. https://rslspeakers.com/c34e-ceiling-speaker/

Holy crap RSL Speakers! (Rogers Sound lab) They were Gods in So Cal back in the 1970/80's. I have (showing my age) some RSL 3300 monitors in my garage. They went out of business in the 1990's? Then came back as a small boutique outfit in the last ten years or so.
