Alot of sites have the inifnity speakers cheaper then Vanns, individually. But most charge heavy shipping fee's in excess of 100$. And none of them can match the Bundle discount + free shipping. The closest came in 40$ more.
Infinity is not exactly an up-start either, and iv'e never heard the speakers, but they are well reviewed, by customers and professionals alike. The 150's and 360's got pretty solid reviews at stereophile. I have not really been able to find anything negative on them. They are however, made of cheap parts, and in china. But somtimes the whole is greater then the sum of it's parts. I want this system to be loud, impactful, with good midrange performance. I want it to last for years and i'd like it to be able to fill a large room with sound, it's going in a small room now, but it may move to a larger room in the future.
I have not made up my mind yet, the AV123 system is still in the runing. My budget has gone up to about 1400$ for a 5.1 (preferably 7.1) setup and reciever + speaker wire. I also like the fact that the infinity system's fronts are floor standing, eliminating the need for 50-100$ speaker stands.
The 360 is also a full range speaker, with a 4" midrange driver, dual 6.5 inch woofers, and a 0.75mm tweeter. With a frequency range of 38 hz to 20k.
This system will be for a home theatre setup, mostly for movie watching, but also for music listening. I will be hooking up a good dac to it for 2 channel audio.
I also don't know what reciever to pair with it yet... This one looks really good for the money.

140 watts per channel...
Also if you know of another speaker set (full 5.1 minimal) that comes in at 1000$ that might be better don't hesitate to let me know!
