Did I buy a White elephant?

[west]

2 items:
1. Does anyone know of an internet place that repairs, carries spare
parts, etc., for an Infinity RS IIIb?
2. Can someone recommend an amp that will be synergistically magic with
these speakers? My 35W tube amp doesn't cut the mustard.
3. I lied ... What are those 3 threaded holes on the bottom of the
speakers. One is too close to the front and the two side holes are
too far in from the sides. If I put spikes in these holes, the rather heavy
speakers will be unstable. Maybe there was some sort of base that tied in to
the 3 holes? Thanks in advance.
Cordially,
west

Start out with Infinity's factory.

Those are spyholes for listening devices.

Bingo!

You should get something better rather than fixing them, IMO.

I understand the Hot House line, except for the largest which may have
an excessively loud fan for home use, may be a good choice. Various
Hafler-derived amps may be a less expensive choice. If you prefer to
stick with tubes you might consider the large Manleys.
