If I could do it all over again, I'd buy better bookshelf speakers and two subs. This is what I learned from my garage system as the bookshelf speakers with 5.25 inch woofers generally blend well with a 12 inch sub in-room.
So my suggestion: for the price of the floorstanding speakers anyone is looking at, spend it on bookshelf speakers, speaker stands, and a sub instead.

I agree with you that the build quality is excellent for its price range and it even has magnetic grills which the Infinity's don't have. I really tried to like these. But I also have to agree with cheapaudioman's take on the s15's.

The bass was too boomy, undefined, mids and treble sounded veiled like I put a blanket over the rest of the speaker. Using it in a nearfield setup, the sound was worse at low volumes but I would need to crank it (LOUD) for it to sound decent, it got a lot better and mainly with house/trance music.
When I listened to the Sony Cores after, I noticed right away, the clarity in the mids, the tight, fast bass and the treble. Like a blanket was lifted off the speaker and it sounded good to me even at low volume.
That was my take but to each his own, I'm glad it worked out for you.
