Excellent November 23, 2008
I added the Infinity Series P152 to my home office stereo system (run iTunes from my PC thru my stereo)...wow what a difference this has made. The sound it clear, crisp and true to form. A great addition.

Infinity makes quality speakers. These speakers cost me $160.00 for the pair. With shipping the total was around $200.00. Well worth the money spent.
Others, including an audio engineer have written much better reviews than I am capable of. All I have to add is that as a music lover that is not an audiophile these are killer speakers and a great value.
A good speaker for its price April 10, 2008

I had a pair of Infinity Primus P150 speakers. However, one of them was destroyed when the amplifier went belly-up. So I bought this speaker to replace my broken P150. Sonically, I cannot hear any difference between P150 and P152, which should be the case, because P152 is a newer version of P150. You can find great reviews about P150 online, especially the one by Stereophile magazine, a high-end audio magazine.
P152 is not even close to the best speaker I have ever heard, and I do have several speakers that are far superior than P152. However, considering the money you pay for it, it is still an excellent buy, and that is also why I wanted to replace my broken P150.
Can't beat for the Price March 15, 2008

I had a pair of Infinity bookshelf speakers for 16 years, and they worked and sounded great. . . until New Years Eve 2007, when I decided to really crank it up for a long time. I didn't want to update the whole system so I didn't want to spend much. At this price if they weren't great I thought they could go to the garage/shop system. I am very happy with how they sound. There are better speakers out there, but not at this low price.
Amazing speakers for little $ February 16, 2008

Past experience as a loudspeaker systems designer and audio shop owner are qualifications helpful in evaluating fine audio gear. I periodically test and compare components, particularly loudspeakers. As small monitor speakers go, these speakers perform at a level far beyond their price in fact besting many comparably-sized audiophile speakers costing many times more. Critical midrange is reproduced with fine clarity and detail that rival many of the finest systems I've heard. Bass response is very good for a speaker this size as is control without cone break-up. This is due to the quality of the mid bass driver, particularly it's cone, suspension and voice coil. The crossover blends the two drivers seamlessly. Highs are detailed and clean but slightly forward. Efficiency is relatively high, providing a pleasant listening experience even with low power amplifiers. To achieve this level of performance, the designer had to carefully optimized critical parameters and most likely had access to a well-equiped lab of design and measurement tools.
Pros:
Accurate response and natural music reproduction. Smooth and detailed midrange response for superb vocals. Quite good bass response. Compact size. Quality materials and construction. Properly shaped baffle. Low cost!
Cons:
At this price, none really. Highs may be too bright with some electronics. Will expose poor recordings. (Turn down the treble control to mitigate).
I've combined these with a subwoofer, crossing over at 90Hz, with surprising results. As I am particuarly impressed with the midrange response, I may experiment with replacing the tweeter to raise the performance bar. This effort will include modifications to the crossover network, test, measurement and hours of listening. Of course another stock pair will be obtained for comparison with the modified pair.
Whether you're an audiophile or audio tinkerer or someone seeking good loudspeakers at a very reasonable cost, you can't go wrong with the Infinity P152 loudspeakers.
