Cheap Thrills
Infinity's Entra Series bookshelf speakers offer both great sound and great value for the audio and home theater enthusiast. The surprisingly affordable Entra Ones reproduce music or motion picture soundtracks with classic Infinity precision and power. A home theater magazine review gave the Entra Series one of their highest ratings for value and found that while most speakers in this price range--and many costing considerably more--have noticeable peaks and dips in frequency response, the Entra speakers produce a very flat response, much more closely mirroring the audio source. With the Infinity Entra Series, thrilling sound need not cost a fortune.
Transducer Talk
Working in collaboration with metallurgists, Infinity transducer engineers identified a unique combination of materials that exhibit a remarkably useful set of mechanical properties. Ceramic Metal Matrix Diaphragm (CMMD) technology, incorporated into the Entra One system, represents a major leap forward in transducer diaphragm design. Far more rigid than those made with conventional materials, Infinity diaphrams move natural modes significantly higher in frequency; while, at the same time, providing more damping than metal cones. But technical talk is cheap; you have to savor the sensational sound of these speakers for yourself. Hook the Entra Ones up to your stereo or home theater system, sit back, and listen. You'll hear the astounding difference CMMD technology makes.
Versatility Reigns
Infinity Entra Ones work equally well as the main speakers for a stereo or as surrounds in a home theater system. Since all Entra Series speakers use the same CMMD technology and drivers, you get seamless, sonically-matched surround sound for your home theater. Hookup is easy as can be with five-way, gold-plated binding posts that accept pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, dual banana plugs, or bare wire. And don't worry if you need to put them close a TV screen. Entra Ones are magnetically shielded. They won't limit your placement choices or distort TV pictures.

Great speakers! I have a pair on my desk acting as my 'B' speakers, and I absolutely love them. So I decided to get a pair to be my main surround speakers and ordered a pair through Vann's. GREAT price! I paid almost a lot for the 1st pair I bought a year or so ago at another retailer and through Vann's they were a great price w Free Shipping! They also arrived earlier than promised and in perfect shape. This was my 'all important' fisrt purchase through Vann's and it went as smooth as could be. You can't go wrong with Infinity speakers and from what I see so far, you can't go wrong with Vann's.

I recieved these speakers 2 days ago and they are awsome. This is truly a deal I could not passup and so glad that I didn't. Vann's customer service was exceptional and courteous. I most definately shop here again.

I PURCHASED THESE SPEAKERS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE $300 DOLLARS AND THOUGHT THEY WERE A GOOD VALUE EVEN THEN. CAN'T BEAT THE PRICEPERFORMACE VALUE NOW THAT THEIR HALF THE PRICE. THEY PLAY ALL TYPES OF MUSIC WITH GREAT PRECISION, FROM BASS HEAVY RAP, LOUD AND CLEAR METAL, CLASSIC ROCK TO TECHNO THESE SPEAKERS CAN DO IT ALL. I'VE PLAYED BASS TRACKS FOR TESTING AUDIO SYSTEMS AND THESE SPEAKERS HAVE CLEAN UNDISTORTED BASS DOWN TO ABOUT 40HZ WHICH IS VERY LOW AND GREAT FOR HOME THEATER USE. IT DOES'ENT HIT THAT HARD WHEN IT'S THAT LOW BUT THE BASS IS CLEARLY AUDIBLE. THE MIDS AND HIGHS ARE ABSOLUTLY CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VERY SMOOTH WITH NO HARSHNESS. GET TWO SETS LIKE I DID AND THE ENTRA CENTER 2 WITH A SUB AND YOU WILL HAVE ONE HECK OF A SETUP.
