About the Infinity Primus P162
The Infinity Primus P162's rich, detailed sound makes it a great choice for music and movie lovers alike. Use a pair of these speakers in a stereo setup to enjoy pinpoint imaging and a wide soundstage from your favorite tunes. Or, if movies are your thing, you can use Primus P162s as part of a home theater system for dynamic and enveloping surround sound. All of the speakers in the Primus line are voice-matched, making it easy to assemble a complete system to fit your needs and budget.
The speaker's cabinet houses a 3/4" tweeter for the highs and a 6-1/2" woofer to handle the midrange and bass. Both drivers are made from Infinity's exclusive Metal Matrix Diaphragm material. This super-tough material uses an aluminum core to add rigidity to the drivers for clean, accurate sound, even when you crank up the volume.
Recommended center channel: Infinity Primus PC350.

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 6-1/2" M.M.D. cone woofer offers extremely accurate midrange response for cleaner, more realistic sound. For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofer uses 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 P162's tweeter utilizes an acoustical waveguide to deliver, more even high frequency response, no matter what part of the room you're in.
Crossovers: The speaker features a 2-way crossover system with crossover frequency at 3000Hz. The crossover has a 24dB/octave slope.
Voice-Matched: The P162 is voice-matched to all the speakers in the Primus line, so a complete matching system can be built.
Enclosure Design
Grille: The speaker comes with a removable cloth grille with a rigid plastic frame.
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
Rubber Feet: The speakers come with 4 rubber self-adhesive feet for each speaker to help secure them in place to prevent slippage and vibration.
Wall Mounting: The optional B-Tech heavy duty side-grip wall-mounting bracket (121AM40B, sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speakers.

Very musical, coherent treble to bass, good imaging. Used in my computer room where my previous favorites were Polk RT25i's. P162's best sounding for me; have had many different speakers since early 60's, I think $99 each with the usual excellent Crutchfield service makes for an excellent value.
