The Infinity Reference 100i is a 2-way, bass reflex speaker system designed for use as a center channel in home theater setups. Manufactured in the USA, it features a sophisticated construction that includes two 135 mm cone woofers and a 25 mm tweeter. The woofers utilize Advanced Polymer Graphite (APG) cones, which combine the benefits of carbon and polypropylene with the structural properties of injection molded graphite (IMG). This results in a cone that is significantly lighter and stiffer compared to traditional paper cones, ensuring better transient response and reduced distortion. The tweeter is a high-power polycarbonate design, enabling clear and detailed reproduction of high-frequency sounds.
The Reference 100i has an efficiency rating of 89 dB, operates within a frequency response range of 70 Hz to 25 kHz, and has a crossover frequency set at 3.5 kHz. It has a nominal power handling capacity of 75 watts and can handle peaks up to 125 watts. The speaker's impedance is rated at 6 Ohms. Its bass-reflex enclosure design contributes to its sound quality, and it is finished in a stylish Chatsworth oak veneer, showcasing a beautiful wood grain. The dimensions of the speaker are 480 mm wide, 198 mm high, and 204 mm deep, with a weight of approximately 7.2 kg, making it suitable for a variety of setups. It was originally priced around ¥55,000 in the late 1990s.
