Don't get those Infinity. They lack mid bass. It doesn't sound right to me for good SQ. I have the Infinity Perfect 6.1 and I'm very disappointed, but I'm also comparing them to stuff out of your price range. I just ordered 2 RSD sets. I sure they will beat those Reference easy. If I don't like the RSD's, I'll be saving up for something better in the $250-$300 range. If you have ever heard a real good set of components you'd never let the word Infinity come to mind. I just got them because I got them for $100 greenbacks and was trying to see if they lived up to the reviews, but I've also heard the Kappa's and Reference. You need to them listen for yourself. You might not hear a difference in sound. I've listened to Focal and Infinity side by side and the guy standing beside me liked the Infinity better, even though they lost by a long shot.
