Thanks for the data, Bear!
I get asked on occasion for a basic bookshelf that can take some abuse with minimal costs and those JBL/Infinity sales seem to be a good solution. The testing ASR did on the 6.5" woofer version was very good and your testing on the smaller 5" woofer model shows promise. Figure when it is close to Christmas, those 6.5's for the L/R, the 3-way center model and the 5 inchers for surrounds would be a decent setup when on sale.
Heck, I'm tempted to pick up a pair of the R162 as I have a nice 12" subwoofer that needs a job. Thanks for the vote of confidence and keep the information coming.
