I don't know why you are downvoted. Is this the deal we have been waiting for months?
·
These or the JBL 570's @ $199 to?
·
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.

Human hearing for young children is at about 20Khz. As you age it drops to around 16KHz.
These Infinity's I would think are very good sounding speakers​, as I have owned a few different Infinity speakers, and they are smooth and detailed and pleasing to listen to.
For $200 on such towers, its hard to beat.
Also, I like JBL, but they tend to have harsher high's
Same Company, but they have their sounds and branding.
The JBL's have very smooth, natural highs, not harsh at all. I suspect the high end responsiveness helps the JBL's achieve better spatial surround reproduction.
I haven't listened to the Infinity 263. Based on what others have discussed, the Infinity may be better for music, and the JBL for home theater.

I was waiting a long time for these to come on sale and match my RC263 center.

Broke down couple of weeks ago and bought the JBL 580s.

At this price, I am debating if the 580s are worth $300more. Might get these as well…

My experience is with older JBL and Infinty speakers, and I have had 3 of each brand in different uses, but all mainly music. And all JBL's I have had do harsh out on the high end while Infinity with the Polycell tweeters, vs the JBL Titanium are very smooth. But, new speakers maybe doing things different and you really just have to put them through the paces of break in, then high volume testing and such. A lot of people love Klipsch, but they are also harsh on detailed highs. Infinity, Paradigm, KEF are much better to my ears as harsh one not only fatigue listening, but they actually distort in sound in my ears.

I'm referring to JBL's 500 series which have compression drivers using Teonex instead of titanium. I agree that titanium tweets are harsher, but that's not used in the current JBL lineup.

Sounds like JBL has switched it up and gone with something smother. Another factor I have liked about Infinity, and I am not sure on JBL, but I would guess they would be around equal is the sensitivity dB rating. I used to love my ADS or even some 4ohm speakers, but buy am I loving the ease to listen not only at low levels, but also easily getting them up in volume.
