The Bottom Line
The system I reviewed consisted of a TSS 3-in-1 speaker that housed all three front channels, two compact TSS-SAT750 satellite speakers for surrounds, and a compact TSS-SUB750 subwoofer. I really enjoyed using this system and found that it performed better that I expected, especially in a small to medium-size room.
Pros
- Great Sound for quality both music and movies
- Great Styling - a great complement to flat panel TV insallations
- Easy to place in room - Wall or Stand Options.
- Very easy to set-up
- Easy to assemble optional stands
Cons
- Surround speakers need better low midrange frequency response
- Sounds better in smaller room environments
- Limited control settings on Subwoofer
- Subwoofer has line level inputs only.
- No provisions for adding a second subwoofer.

Guide Review - Infinity Total Solutions Speaker System w/ TSS 3-in-1,TSS-SAT750, and TSS-SUB750
The TSS 3-in-1 is an unusual speaker in that the Left, Center, and Right channel speakers are housed within a single, thin, tubular-like housing about 40-inches long. However, despite this design, the 3-in-1 actually supplied a good Left/Center/Right image. The sounds from the left and right channels projected to the sides beyond the physical length of the speaker. Also, the center channel portion delivered a very good vocal and dialog presence.
The TSS SAT750 satellite speakers, which were used as surrounds, performed their job well. Although very compact, they held their own in reproducing surround effects that balanced with the TSS 3-in-1. The SAT750's really did a great job with surround effects in several notable movie scenes, such as the first battle scene from Master and Commander (DVD), the arrow assault scene in Hero (DVD), and the climatic battle scene in Transformers (HD-DVD). The SAT750s, although not as full bodied, in my opinion, as the 3-in-1, added depth to surround sound tracks.
I found the TSS SUB750 powered subwoofer to be an excellent match for the rest of the speakers. Despite its compact size, the subwoofer provided a good lower frequency transition from the mid-range and high-frequency response of the 3-in-1 and SAT750. The bass response was fairly tight and complemented both music and movie tracks appropriately.
I really enjoyed using this system and found that it performed better that I expected. The only dislikes were:
I would have preferred a better lower mid-range/upper bass response from the 3-in-1 and SAT750's.
The system is best used in a small-to-medium size room.
However, these criticisms are minor in comparison to the total performance of the system.
