it's in the price point.@hardisj obviously did not include the Infinity in this comment because it's far superior (at least spin wise).
his comment was that this monolith in his opinion is the best center speaker at this price point that he has reviewed and some that he hasn't reviewed but has knowledge of.
considering the only other center speakers out there he hasn't reviewed are RC263, Polk R350 and the Revels it's not a leap to assume he includes the RC263 in the opinion. i'm not sure that i agree that the RC263 spin data is even superior, let alone far superior. i won't be surprised to see the monolith with a very similar preference score.
