Here are a few things to consider about these speakers and brand, based on tons of reading and online research I've done over the past few months. Admittedly, I moved from not knowing about this brand to having a 3.x setup with them, then 5.x and now 7.x. Obviously, that's based on my impressions so YMMV.
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 ): "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 (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 : "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!

Here are a some snaps of my theater room using all Infinity Reference speakers in a 7.2.4 setup (subs are UM18-22's not Infinity). Please forgive any duplicate'ish photos. I didn't spend time going through them. Just wanted to grab some with speaker grills on and some off to give folks an idea of what these actually look like in a room. I also have a 5.1 setup to put in the living room because I like these speakers so much.

Not sure if I am doing anything wrong and if someone can shed some light before I return them.
The subwoofer is great, have placed it In a corner and throws loud punches but I feel it's not as tight as svs or rhythmic.
The centre and surrounds dont blend in with my golden ear towers. They seem to lack the warmness and crispness that my golden ear have . I guess you get what you pay for , since golden ears are atleast 3-4 times the cost which might be justified since I can now compare them side by side.
Can Some one who has listened to both ,please give their input and correct me if my Yamaha settings need to be tweaked or so or should I just match my golden ears to similar surrounds ?
But the R152 at this sale price is by far best bang for the buck.
You can also check your local Craigslist for used speakers. Some of my favorite pint-size speakers include the Mission MS-5/MS-50 and the Boston Acoustic CR-65 (CR = Compact Reference), both of these are around 10".
Another solution for a compact sound system placed on top of cabinets is to put a sound bar up there. I use a 2.1 sound bar on top of my kitchen cabinets/dining area, and I tuck the small wireless sub off into a corner. It fills the space with music nicely and I also happen to like the virtual surround effect (e.g. DTS Virtual:X) built into many sound bars (though you can disable if you don't like it).
I have in-wall surrounds/rears, not looking to change those and I'm not that critical for those. But I find dialogue to be muddy and having to turn up the sound quite a bit to hear what is being said.
Option 1 - Swap out the LCR for the RC252 and RS252.
Option 2 - Just swap out the center for an Elac Debut 2.0 5.2

But personally I think the Infinity's are a bit better suited for home theater. I wouldn't use RS152 for front LR though. The R162 would be ideal bookshelf size fronts, but they're not on sale. The R152 would be OK with a sub and in a smaller space, or the R253 towers would be great if you have room and they're within your budget (I'm using the older Infinity Primus 250 towers for front LR).
Repurpose the Pioneer Andrew Jones LR (or sell them) to another room for like background jazz music listening or the like, that's a job they're much better at.
My current system is a conglomeration of pieces I picked up over a few years many years ago using rewards points and sales. This is what I have:
Center: Sony SS-CN495H
L/R Towers: Sony SS-MF550H
Surrounds: Sonly SS-MB100H
Sub: SA-WM40
Back Surround/ATMOS: Just some surrounds from an old computer set.
Receiver: Denon AVR-S710W
Thank in advance for any and all advice!

Depends on your space, uses, but I might look to replace the towers before replacing the sub. If you think you plan to listen to a lot of music, I'd get the towers before upgrading the center, otherwise maybe get the center first. Surrounds would be the last to get upgraded, I'd say.
I haven't heard these particular Sony's, but I previously had a pair of their current Sony Core SSCS5 bookshelves for desktop listening, and I quite liked them, but in the end I returned them since the Infinity R152 had a somewhat similar voicing and was overall better.
