![]() ![]() So overall, if you like slight zing to your music or can EQ to remove that, then I am happy to recommend the Infinity R162. The rest of the performance both objectively and subjective is very good and not at all that of a cheap junk speaker. Whether on purpose (to sell better in showroom) or not, the elevated highs are a bit of an issue but fortunately that cam be tamed with equalization. The Infinity R162 definitely seems to have benefited from good design. Overall, the woofer and bass performance is the start of the show. Indeed, no matter how much power I pumped into the R162, it handled it without bottoming out! However, the M20 could not remotely play as loud as the R162! Its woofer would break up at much lower levels than the Infinity. I can't help but think how good this speaker would be with a simple in-line resistor with the tweeter to kill off some of that excess energy.įor comparison, I put in the Revel M20 in the same spot and it was a relief to hear a less elevated highs. This so called spinorama shows us just about everything we need to know about the speaker with respect to tonality and some flaws: In a nutshell, the measurements show the actual sound coming out of the speaker independent of the room.Īll measurements are reference to tweeter axis with the woofer grill left on as indicated Frequency resolution is 2.7 Hz.Īcoustic measurements can be grouped in a way that can be perceptually analyzed to determine how good a speaker can be used. Both of these factors enable testing in ordinary rooms yet results that can be more accurate than anechoic chamber. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). Measurements that you are about to see were performed using the Klippel Near-field Scanner (NFS). If you care about country of manufacture and can't read it above, it is China. ![]()
