Infinity is. With groundbreaking technologies, revolutionary materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, Infinity loudspeakers have set new standards for performance, simplicity and style for 40 years. Since Infinity was founded in a California garage in 1968 by engineers passionate about music, its critically acclaimed loudspeakers and design leadership have remained unchallenged. Through the years, state-of-the-art engineering facilities and unmatched resources have allowed Infinity manufacturers to design and develop innovative loudspeakers and loudspeaker technologies that push the limits of accurate sound reproduction. Hear Your Music and Movies the Way the Artist Intended Precision sound in a sleek package View larger Metal Matrix Diaphragms™ (MMD®) for Precise Sound A well-engineered loudspeaker should be like a window into an artist’s soul, meaning that you hear exactly what they intended without changes or alterations. Breakthrough MMD speaker technology does just that with incredibly stiff yet incredibly lightweight materials. The TSS-800’s 3-1/2" MMD midrange driver and 3/4" tweeter sandwich ceramic material on either side of an aluminum cone. This material is strong enough to hold its shape when moving rapidly, but light enough to accurately start and stop with your music or movie. By being so strong, MMD is able to reduce distortions caused by the cone bending or flexing. This keeps your music or movie from sounding odd or unnatural. And when you compare MMD to the cone materials used in other competitive systems, you will really see MMD’s advantage. MMD is actually more than 200 times stronger than the common polypropylene cones used in competitive systems. It’s even 3 times stronger than titanium. Pair this strength with MMD’s incredibly light weight, which is actually 30% lighter than titanium, and MMD is able to deliver all the subtle details that make for an extraordinary listening experience. The TSS-800 comes equipped with a center channel speaker that has a second 3-1/2" midrange driver for clearer, richer dialogue. And when it comes to bass, Infinity’s MMD speaker material is so well engineered that they use it for the TSS-800’s 10”, 150-Watt powered subwoofer. This creates a system with deep, accurate bass that is perfectly voiced matched. Bring it all together, and you will enjoy your music and movies with the exact sounds that the musicians and moviemakers intended--and that only Infinity speaker systems can deliver. MMD technology is engineered to beboth extremely rigid and light-weight Low-Resonance Enclosures Provide Sonic Stabilization A poorly designed speaker enclosure can actually resonate and add its own “sound” to your music. That kind of speaker is like a guitar; a guitarist may use multiple guitars because they all resonate differently, each producing its own unique sound. While this variation is important for a classical guitarist, it isn’t good for a loudspeaker. Resonance can really change a speaker’s overall tonal balance and alter the sound of the recording that it plays. Using a special tool called a scanning laser vibrometer, Infinity is able to pin-point the location for internal bracing on the TSS-800, ensuring the brushed aluminum enclosures are so rigid that they do not vibrate or resonate. This design philosophy also extends to the powered subwoofer enclosure. So with the TSS-800, all you hear is your music and movies--exactly the way you deserve to hear them. Exceptional Sound Anywhere in the Room A waveguide ensures an optimal experience everywhere in the room View larger Superior Engineering Resources Guarantee a Quality Listening Experience Many loudspeaker manufacturers are actually loudspeaker assemblers, buying parts off the shelf from different companies with the goal of assembling them into a final product. While this system might help to keep costs down, it does very little to guarantee how the speakers are going to sound. Infinity manufacturers design, engineer and build all parts of the loudspeaker. This integrated process allows Infinity to control all aspects of speaker creation, and results in smoothly engineered loudspeaker systems that sound great in any room. Optimized to Ensure Great Sound, No Matter Where You Sit The place where you sit in a room as you listen to speakers can have just as great an effect on what you hear as the speakers themselves. Though you might try to sit in the “sweet spot,” sometimes it just isn’t possible. So what if you want great sound anywhere you might sit? To make sure that listening to the TSS-800 is a great experience everywhere in the room, Infinity speakers use a proprietary waveguide. This conduit confines and guides electromagnetic waves around the tweeter, ensuring a wide dispersion of high frequencies throughout the room--all while keeping them both accurate and natural sounding. The result is an incredible sound experience throughout the entire room, even if someone beats you to the best seat in the house. What's in the Box Four TSS-800 satellite speakers, one TSS-800 center speaker, one TSS-800 subwoofer, brackets for all five speakers, and tabletop stands for all five speakers.


This review is from: Infinity TSS-800CHR High-Performance, 6-Piece Home Theater Speaker System (Charcoal Black) (Electronics)
We bought this on Amazon in response to one of their one-day special offers, and this experience has proved to me that the offers are always worth considering. This speaker system has met all of our expectations as casual home entertainment system users. Matched with the Onkyo HT-RC260 Receiver, they provide clean, crisp sound at all volume levels and in all frequency ranges in our 16' by 20' living room space -- a definite improvement over a Bose 3-2-1 system that we had for about 8 years, and which cost substantially more. The construction feels very solid and the wiring was easy to attach. Instructions were easy to follow, although they are a little short on information about the settings for the subwoofer. Thankfully, the instructions with the Receiver and the settings provided by the Audyssey program took care of that shortfall. All in all we are delighted.
