both are on sale at $200

i have a pair of bookshelves with dome tweeters, no center available. so this setup will not be timbermatched

Infinity Reference RC263
or
Polk LSim 704c

need to order one before sales runs out

Not intimately familiar with either, but recent accolades on infinity, and being a Harmon brand, I would choose infinity.

What bookshelf speakers do you have now?

I have the Polk center. It looks nice, is compact, and seems to be very well built. But it sounds pretty 'warm' to me, with a noticeable drop in output around in the upper mids to low treble, compared to other center speakers I have.

If that's what you like, it's a great deal.

If that's not what you like, look elsewhere.

I have no experience with the Harman.

pair of AAMs
i dont like a warm sound. i realized that when i owned andrew jones 1st and 2nd generation pioneer speakers, due to hype.
l like a little brightness, lively, or at least neutral, not warm.

Infinity even before you described your sonic preference, but especially after. I had it for a while and was very pleased, only returning it because I was comparing it to an Emotiva C2 that I ended up liking just a bit more (it also cost nearly twice as much). I would have kept it and been perfectly happy if I had picked it up first.

I’d probably go with the infinity.
