I don't know why you are downvoted. Is this the deal we have been waiting for months?

My advice is to never worry about or even comment on the downvotes. People are people. A solid deal will quickly overcome the occasional downvote. And this is a super solid deal.

my old yamaha rx-v740 says "minimum RMS output 90 watts at 8 ohms" and has a selector switch for 6 ohm speakers. "dynamic power 145 watts at 6 ohms" Will this be enough power to make these sound good for rock music?

UPS beat up mine. Damaged veneer a bit and bent the grill. Does anyone have experience getting compensation for damage? Or, week they simply tell me to return them and they eat the $150 round trip shipping?

As far as I can tell via the specs, The INFINITY goes lower in bass but does not have the HIGHS as the JBL.
INFINITY : 38Hz-22khz
JBL : 45Hz-40khz

But it also seems like the INFINITY has a high range tweeter, 1 more 5.25 inch mid range woofer and TWO 6.5inch low end woofer. The JBL only has TWO Low frequency woofers at 5 1/4 inch and ONE High frequency woofer, so I think the Infinitys might sound more full. Dont quote me on that. Unfortunately I have no experience with these speakers but I would lean on the infinitys more for its bigger woofer size and extra mid range.

The 570 is also very short. So if you want a comparable front towerI'd consider the JBL 580 to these. I have 263 and they are good but I'd get the 580 if they had flat tops and I could fit my atmos enabled on them. But I already have the 263s so not an upgrade enough to change to the 580s I don't think

Klipsch to me are very tin-y sounding and harsh. Infinity when turned up in my experience remains smooth and not bother the ears.
Can't disagree with ya. I picked up a pair of RP8000F's and ended up returning them pretty quick. I'm half tempted to order these to replace my Timeframe 600's in my main HT system. Been wanting to move the Timeframes to another room for 2 channel duty.

Picked up a pair of these to go with a SVS PB-1000 and Yamaha RX-V385BL for a relatively cheap 2.1 setup. I shouldn't run into any issues, no?

That should be a really solid system especially for the money.

Anyone able to use the coupon they send via email when you signup for the newsletter? Doesn't seem to work for me even on non-sale items.

Just a heads up if you purchased these in the previous not as slick deal for $250 within the last 30 days like I did:

Harman will price match purchases with in the last 30 days. So, you can enjoy this slick deal as well.

I read some users had their boxes damage. How was the delivery of the speakers? I just ordered these. Can't wait to get it but unfortunately the center speaker are still sold out. What did you think of the center speaker?

Oh shoot, my speakers arrived with the utmost of care actually. Boxes were in absolute perfect condition. I don't think it's possible to be disappointed in the speakers! I actually bought this center speaker to match the towers. It was technically a downgrade from a very old JBL center speaker I had...but it's so so much better and louder oddly enough! Enjoy!

I will agree about how good these speakers are. The RC263 caused me to replace my entire system.

It is very good. It is far better than a $450 Center from the late 1990s - NHT AC-1). Even the wife noticed. Dialog is much clearer.

The RC263 caused me to replace the entire surround setup, even though I thought what I had was pretty good.

The RC263 caused me to replace my entire NHT 5.1 speaker system (AC-1, 4 x 1.5) with Infinity Reference. I have RC263 Center, 2 R163 (L,R) 4 R163 (RFH, LFH, R,L, RS, LS).

The Infinity Reference setup sounds much better than a very respectable setup that cost over 2x as much 20 years ago.

Also, all speakers arrived undamaged, but some of the boxes were in bad shape.

Did you have any space issues? I'd like to get the RC263 but I'd have to replace my entertainment center...
