Our take on the Infinity ERS HV250

by Tom Mathew

Get enveloping surround sound without cluttering your room with bulky speakers. The ERS HV250, sold individually is ideally suited for home theater, and installs directly in your wall so it doesn't take up even a single inch of floor space. It can be positioned horizontally for use as a center channel speaker, or vertically for front and surround speakers. Get up to seven ERS HV250s and an Infinity powered subwoofer for a complete voice-matched home theater speaker system.

This high-performance in-wall speaker features a 3/4" tweeter, plus dual 5" woofers for clean bass response down to 45 Hz. All of the drivers are made with Infinity's exclusive Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (C.M.M.D.™) material. C.M.M.D. woofers and tweeters are stiff yet responsive for warm, resonance-free performance across the entire audio spectrum. It's the same driver material used on Infinity's flagship Prelude™ loudspeakers, costing thousands of dollars a pair.

The ERS HV250 is designed for easy installation. It features mounting clamps that swing out and securely grip your wall from the inside. An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the ERS HV250 in a new home under construction (or in a room that's undergoing major renovation).

    Mounting Options

    Features

    Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (C.M.M.D.): Infinity's C.M.M.D. technology delivers accurate performance with dramatically reduced distortion for incredibly lifelike sound. Additionally, the C.M.M.D. drivers can withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, humidity and sunlight.

    Woofers: The 5" C.M.M.D. cone woofers virtually eliminate coloration due to cone flexing, resulting in less distortion and superior accuracy. For a smoother response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround.

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

    Waveguide Design: The ERS HV250 incorporates a proprietary waveguide design to ensure smooth distribution of sound throughout the listening area.

    Mounting Options

    Installation:  The speaker requires a cutout of 13.9375" by  6.1875", with a depth of 3.386" (including the thickness of the drywall). Once the hole is cut, the speaker can be dropped in and the locking tabs can be tightened, allowing you to secure the speaker to the drywall without any extra assembly.

    Note: For new construction, you will need to purchase the optional rough-in-frame kit (item 108IW55RIF).

    Paintable: The grille and flange can be painted, allowing this speaker to match any decor.

    excellent speakers

    Written By satisfied_customer, peoria, az on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These are excellent speakers and the installation is very straight-forward. The provided template was flimsy, but nothing that couldn't be handled. These speakers replaced some infinity tower speakers I bought years ago and for the most part are equal in terms of sound quality. Bass response is pretty weak though, and your system will benefit with a sub-woofer to add that extra richness. I connected these to the Marantz 1403 receiver, and they are quite well suited for each other. Overall I am very pleased with the sound and esthetics of these speakers.
    Pros:
    excellent sound, ease of installation.
    Cons:
    Not related to speaker per se, but running the wire through the walls, through multiple studs to where the receiver is located, took some work and patience.

    Fantastic Speakers

    I bought these upon the advise of the Crutchfiel Sales rep. I explained my expectations and limitations and these were suggested. Installation was a snap. I used these for my front speakers as well as the center. Sound great
    Pros:
    Look, fit, easy installation, great sound

    Be aware

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I was disappointed in this speaker. They lack ANY depth and tone adjustments
    make little difference. I heard other less expensive speakers at a local store and the
    sound was much better. Based on the price of these, I expected
    they would sound better that the cheaper speakers. I would not recommend this
    speaker.

    Infinity ERS HV250

    Written By Kevin, Jax,FL on Sunday, October 03, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Just what I was looking for. Looks and Sounds Great. Even the wife agrees! Cutting a
    12 by 7 inch hole in the wall can be alittle intimidating, but follow the pattern an find your
    studs and it will turn out great.

    Very Pleased!

    Written By Anonymous, Redwood City, CA on Thursday, December 31, 2009
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I chose the ERS HV 250s because their narrow size would fit the framing space without major wall reconstruction. I have to say I'm very happy with their look and performance. I installed three (front, center & right) along with 2 Infinity CS80Rs in the rear ceiling. For the sub I purchased Infinity's PS210. The install was relatively easy and only complicated by the unique design of my family room. The previous reviewer's slightly negative comment about the quality of the installation template is not an issue since you're only using the template a single time and actually could complete the install without them. For a good mid-quality home theater you can't miss with these speakers.

    Great price, clean sound

    Written By Chris, Twin Cities, MN on Thursday, October 29, 2009
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I didn't really want to spend a bunch of money on our home theater. My other
    speakers are Polk, but Polk's CC was way over what I wanted to spend. This
    sounds great, and was easy to install. Having just installed all the Polk
    speakers, I have to say that the template Infinity provides was pretty cheap and
    flimsy compared to what Polk provided. For sure not a deal breaker but an
    obvious observation.

    Fabulous Sound

    Written By Rhonda, Dallas, TX on Thursday, March 12, 2009
     
    I purchased 7 speakers for a 7.1 system. I used three speakers in the wall, and four in the ceiling. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and spectacular sound.
