The RC263 is a behemoth of a speaker. It's powerful, has nice bass to it (although it could benefit from a dedicated sub) and delivers clear sounds. It's really of insane value given its price. As mentioned, it's HUGE. make sure you account for its size on all dimensions before making the purchase. Take the measurements and verify it fits your media console or can comfortably sit on top of it. Some people suggested hanging it on a wall, but that sounds too obtrusive too given its size. Here's a review from the fantastic site "Audio Science Review" (link [audiosciencereview.com]): "The Infinity RC263 has excellent objective measurements for a budget center speaker. They have tried hard to hit key aspects of good sound in a horizontal center speaker within a very tough budget. So unless you can afford to spend a ton more, the RC263 makes for a very good center speaker in a home theater, augmented by a subwoofer"
The R162 (I have 4 of those) are amazing for their price. It's really a great speaker. Review [audiosciencereview.com](quote: "The Infinity R162 definitely seems to have benefited from good design. Whether on purpose (to sell better in showroom) or not, the elevated highs are a bit of an issue but fortunately that cam be tamed with equalization. The rest of the performance both objectively and subjective is very good and not at all that of a cheap junk speaker"). Once I got the R253 I actually felt that the R162 are of less value, but given their size they are still great. I use them for surround channels (L/R and back L/R. I put them on "PERLESMITH Universal Floor Speaker Stands 26 Inch for Surround Sound" for $70/pair).
The R152 are supposed to be little brother of the 162. They are smaller, but I don't know if its worth buying those when you can get the R162 for a few $ more.
The R253 tower (I own 2 of those) are fantastic. Review [audiosciencereview.com]: "The Infinity Reference 253 is one hell of a package. You couldn't build one quarter of it for what they are selling it for right now. The new measurements show excellent performance, sans two bits: a dip around 2 kHz and too much treble energy. Both were easily fixable with EQ". That review also reports an issue with the tweeter range, but it's unclear whether that was a one-off or not. I couldn't hear issues with my unit, but I'm far from being an audiophile, and I don't own the relevant equipment to measure the sounds, as was done in the review. I'm happy with my units, to be clear.
The R263 are supposed to be even better than the 253. They are slightly bulkier, so I didn't get/hear them.
Brand/Service/Delivery:
When in stock, they ship super fast - you get it in 3-4 days. Don't think twice - order as IT WILL GO OOS soon.
When things go OOS and backordered, some have us waited ~6 weeks with very poor and conflicting communication from Harman Audio reps regarding the status of orders.
Many report packages arriving banged up. Mine missed a few inches of cardboard. However, I haven't read on someone who got a banged up product. Definitely take photos of the boxes once you get them, instead you need to report an issue.
HA have a 30 days return policy. I haven't tried it, but it sounds good on paper.
Some people report getting coupons codes for a small discount after contacting HA support and complaining about issues with past orders. YMMV.
Good luck!
Each of these products are pieces of a sound system setup. You will need space for a receiver to be housed as the control unit for the system. Your TV won't have anything to do with it. I'm no audiophile or technician but I definitely appreciate good sound quality equipment. Based on your question, you may want to find a smaller sound bar or look into what it takes to build a proper sound system before pulling the trigger on anything here.
Hope this helps

How does everything compare to the Monitor 50s?
The sound of the R263s are much fuller and more detailed while the Monitor 50s sound tinier.
M50s have (2) 5.25" speakers while R263s and RC263 each have (1) 5.25" and (2) 6.5".
I actually wanted the white Polk S55s as well but they are never in stock.
Caution: May cause foundation cracks and/or settling.
Same here, I just installed the RC263 center two days ago. I've had the R263 towers since last summer. Loving this three speaker system right not and will be adding over time. Eyeing the RS152s for surround
Granted, i love my Elac Debut Reference more. But they are >$500.
I've mentioned this in past sales, but the R162's are amazing speakers. I use them near field with a Cambridge Audio integrated amp. They are just as good as my Paradigm Mini-Monitors but with a more revealing top end. Welith a sub they sound almost as good as my Monitor RS6's that cost many times more.

I disagree as a matter of fact a I would argue most of the time it should be "locatable".
Yes a good sub excels at those very lower extensions but they also create a much more accurate, detailed reproduction of the sound over say the R12.
That periodically happens but what happens much more often is the higher subtle bass extension like say rolling thunder, heavy rain,door slamming, roar of a engine, plane flying by and so on and so on.....
That often doesn't just happen in front of you(front stage) it's going on all around you, that's why it's called surround/immersion sound.
When speakers handle those subtle low extensions its does a much better job of blending the sound and placing it with more accuracy and detail within your layout/environment creating surround/immersion.
In other word it places the sound in the correct "location" based on what you are watching much better.
That's going to be less accurate all around when your speakers only go down to 49Hz and sub at 29Hz.
Not to mention the quality of them.
That may be one reason people sometimes say they don't hear a big difference between say the R263 and R162. When you assign all the bass to the sub, your taking away that advantage of the 263.
IMO when you do that, that's even more a reason to getting a better quality sub.
It's all a preference and if people choose to do that with the bass that's there prerogative but it doesn't mean "No point for 60-80 to go to the speakers".

Bass below 80 isn't locatable to human ears which is why that is usually the setting(actually I think the number is around 100) If you are very concerned and want some bass to be produced by speakers then set it at 60. Below that if you have a sub just have it handle the bass as it can do so often better while also lightening the load on the receiver and speakers to produce that bass.
