  • Summary:
    After much hunting around and much frustration, I realised that there are really no surround speakers that give you what these things give you. Here's why I reckon my new Infinity ES-250's are so damn great... * Great looking (high spouse-approval factor) * Available in black or white * Protective metal grilles mean no kids or guests putting their hands through the speaker diaphragms. Minimal effect on sound quality. * Sturdy and well-designed. The groove on the back for cables is most welcome. * Big enough to hold their own against mightier front speakers, but not so big that they dominate the room. * Very clean and accurate. They match brilliantly with my VAF Research DC-X front speakers, which are also very accurate. * Drivers firing outwards at 45 degrees mean they're not dependant on side-wall reflections. Also puts you more "on-axis" for critical listening. * Equal drivers facing front and back. Infinity haven't skimped on their woofers and tweeters.. * Full-range. They go down to a claimed 50Hz and 40kHz. I roll mine off at 100Hz, but it's nice to have the option. For SACDs, they're equal to the task. * Dipole / Bipole / Monopole switchable. LOVE this. You can easily tailor them for your room, tastes and placement. * THIS is the clincher - Dual-Monopole mode !!! If you already have a 7.1 amp or receiver, you can connect another cable to the rear-firing drivers, then switch to Dolby IIx for 5.1 or 6.1 movies, giving you stereo Back surrounds - four channels from two speakers! This gives you a complex, diffuse surround field while not introducing the bass-cancellation that most dipoles give. In my case, I actually got better results doing this than having a separate pair of Back speakers mounted on the rear wall! Brilliant!! I'm not aware of another speaker that offers this way of operating. * Great value for money when you consider all these things.
