Our take on the Infinity Primus P252

The Infinity Primus P252's clean styling and dynamic performance make it a great addition to any home audio system. Use a pair of these speakers for stereo listening, and they'll create a large "sweet spot" — you'll enjoy warm sound throughout your entire room. Or make them a part of an Infinity Primus home theater setup for high-impact movie sound effects. Either way, you'll experience precise imaging and a wide soundstage.

The P252 owes its performance to Infinity's exclusive Metal Matrix Diaphragm™ speaker material. This material uses a stiff metal core to add rigidity to the drivers, for clear, accurate sound. Two 5-1/4" woofers dish out detailed lows and mids, and a 3/4" tweeter produces highs with sparkling clarity. And the speaker's high sensitivity means that you won't strain your amp when you crank up the volume.

Recommended center channel: Infinity Primus PC250.
Recommended surround speakers: Infinity Primus P152.

Driver Technology

Metal Matrix Diaphragm (M.M.D.): Derived from the C.M.M.D. material used in Infinity's flagship Cascade series, M.M.D. features a stiff aluminum core, anodized on both sides for increased strength and rigidity. M.M.D. transducers conduct sound faster than paper, polypropylene, and Kevlar, pushing unwanted resonances beyond the operating range of the transducer. M.M.D. drivers deliver crystal-clear, distortion-free sound from dynamic digital sources, even at high listening levels.

Woofers: The dual 5-1/4" M.M.D. cone woofers offer extremely accurate midrange response for cleaner, more realistic sound. For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofers use rubber surrounds.

Tweeter: The speaker has a 3/4" M.M.D. dome tweeter that offers superior stiffness and damping compared to traditional metal domes.

Waveguide: The P252's tweeter utilizes an acoustical waveguide to deliver, more even high frequency response, no matter what part of the room you're in.

Crossover: The speaker features a 2-way crossover system with crossover frequency at 2500Hz. The crossover has a 24dB/octave slope.

Matching System: The P252 is voice-matched to all the speakers in the Primus line, so a complete matching system can be built.

Connections

5-Way Binding Posts: The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs.

Mounting Options

Outboard/Inboard Feet: The speaker comes assembled with attractive silver outboard feet. If desired, you can replace them with the supplied, less visible, black inboard feet. The feet can be changed with the use of a handheld Phillips-head screwdriver. The overall width is approximately 15/16" less, and the overall height is approximately 1/4" less when the black, inboard feet are used, compared to the outboard feet.

Infinity Primus 252

Written By BL, MA on Friday, February 03, 2012
 
Great speakers, def worth the money. I hooked these up to my standard Sony receiver (which is without all of the bells & whistles) with Monster THX 16 gauge speaker wire and I noticed a big difference in sound quality over the pair of Aiwa speakers I had. These are perfect for a home theater system in your bedroom.
Pros:
Sound quality and they are sturdy.
Cons:
none

Great for the size

Written By Pat G, Milwaukee on Sunday, September 25, 2011
 
I bought these a few years ago to replace the small fronts that were in my Infinti surround system package. Great highs and mids complement the rest of the system. not perfect but can't beat them for the price.

Infinity Primus P252

Written By Paul G., Newfield, NJ on Tuesday, July 26, 2011
 
I ordered 2 of the Infiniti Primus P252 speakers to "upgrade" my surround sound system. Previously, I used 2 old bookshelf speakers on either side of my center speaker. They just didn't "cut it." Now, the sound difference is amazing! I checked around and Crutchfield was the cheapest for these speakers. There was no shipping charge and I received them in only a couple of days! Now, when I watch Blueray movies, it's almost like being in a movie theater. What a great company and a great product! P.S. I even rerceived a personal thank you in the mail!

Great speaker for the money!

Written By Duane, Canton OHIO on Saturday, February 05, 2011
 
I went from Polk bookshelf (which i do love) to these since my new room is much bigger..they are awesome! the performance, sound and volume rock! Don't listen to the reviews that say they lack bass - because they don't, and you will most likely be using a SUB anyway..So these rock
