Hello:
I have an Infinity RS1B speaker system in excellent condition. I love them dearly and am loathe to part with them, but am running out of room. They demand careful placement and tend to dominate any room, so be forewarned. If you've ever had the good fortune to hear a well set up pair, you won't give a wet rat's ass. Would consider trading these for a pair of Maggie 3.6R's. I'm located in Northern Virginia, and don't think it's feasible to ship these- if they were somehow damaged, replacement parts are out there, but becoming increasingly hard to come by. All EMITs and EMIMs are original and work properly. Same with the bass cones. Speakers are two bass columns and two EMIT/EMIM wings. Oak cabinets (medium oak finish) with no dings or nicks. The bass cabs are veneered, but the wings are solid oak. Monster Cable wired from factory. Infinity servo /crossover unit works fine with no hum or spurious noise from the pots. These speakers were perennial favorites with the stereo mags as far as reviews go, and image like very few others. They do NOT sound like speakers in a box, because apart from the bass frequencies, they're NOT. Although the wings look like speaker enclosures from the front (to match the bass cabinets), they are open in back like the Maggies, and present a very open, airy and alive sound. I honestly can say that I have never heard a better sound from another set of speakers, no matter what the cost. I have to say up front that these puppies love/need power, and MUST be biamped with amps that you could weld metal with. I used Adcom 5802's and I liked the sound a lot. Any higher end amp like ARC, CJ, Levinson, Krell, Perreaux or Brystons would perform well, but most mortal power amps would end up toasted especially if you pushed the volume up to stupid levels. To be candid and up front about it, I'm not 100% sold on parting with these, because owners tend to love 'em and hold on to them, but if the right trade can be struck in the right geographical area, it would probably fly. email me with interest/offers. Will send hi-res pics to interested parties. regards Greg check out this link to see the factory brochure on these: www.thedavisproject.com/brochure.htm |
