Strength:
Imaging, bass response, classy look, Can make mediocre reciever sound terrific.
Weakness:
Location of individual speakers bass control. The grills could be a little stiffer than they are but really not worth complaining about. This is my first pair of Infinity speakers, and I must say that I couldn't have made a better choice for the price that I paid for them. I walked into Circuit City not looking to buy, but saw these and was immediatly curious. They were originally 600 for the pair, but was able to negotiate to 400 for the pair. I currently have a RCA A/V reciever that is 3 x 50 and 2 x 25. When I went back and watched Twister for the second time using these speakers, I literally felt the floor shake. These are an awsome piece of audio ingenuity if you can still find a pair out there at a fair price. Don't overpay! You will fall in love with sound qaulity all over again. |

The overture 2's are the best speakers I've owned and probably the best I've ever listened to. The built in powered subwoofers are fantastic. The bass is clean, tight and powerful. You can actually feel the music, and at reasonable sound levels. They give the word 'percussion' a whole new meaning in my book. The sound stage, separation, breath, depth and any other field you can think of, are enormous and musical. Even at low backround levels the bass and clarity shine through. The percussion in "Hear that voice again" by Peter Gabriel blew me away. Listening to U 2's " Where the streets have no name" was like hearing it for the first time. The "Happy Anniversery Charlie Brown" cd was fantastic. I guess I could go on and on. I purchased them on line for $600 each and they are worth every penny. I listened to the KEF Q series at around the same price level and although a nice speaker, it did not have the tight low end that the infinity's offer. So on a scale from 1 to 5 I have to give it a five, just for pure enjoyment. |

I just purchased a pair of (Eosone RSF 1000) at our local best buys in ohio...They said that this line will no longer be sold The list price was 2400.00 Then they were reduced to 2000.00 now ther 1300.00 for two. I love the sound of these My brother has (overture3) and he said they sound very close to his and eosone customer service said they are right there with them . Except the over3 might play a slight bit louder..The specs are about the same >Do you think i made the right choice for the speakers and for the money???? Thanks dave |

O2's do give an clearer sound that does expose more than less expensive stuff, and show wonderful moments in classical orchestra or guitar as well as the Greatful Dead, and as I said in a previous review the Infinty RS5's are a great deal, but more is more. |
