Context

The Infinity Beta C360 was part of the 2004 Infinity Beta Series Loudspeakers. It was positioned as a dedicated center channel, often paired with models like the Beta C250. Infinity was founded in 1968 and acquired by Harman International in 1983, so this model came out while it was a Harman-owned brand.

CNET's 2005 review praised the speaker for its "awesome sound," three-way design, and high-tech drivers. It called the C360 an "outstanding value" despite its price and gave it a rating of 8.0. User reviews noted its appeal as a center channel, and one audiophile cited it as review-worthy after extensive research.
