Who Owns Infinity?

Infinity has spent more than five decades earning its place as one of the most respected names in premium audio. Before you invest in a set of speakers, here's the full picture of the brand behind them.

Founded on a Passion for Sound

Infinity was born in Los Angeles in 1968 when three audio engineers — Arnie Nudell, John Ulrick, and Cary Christie — set out to build loudspeakers that reproduced sound with greater accuracy and realism than anything on the market. That ambition led to breakthroughs like the EMIT (Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter) and the Servo-Statik speaker system, cementing Infinity's reputation as one of America's leading hi-fi manufacturers.
