I hear they are hard to drive.   6V6PP isn't going to get it done.

If the M-504 could push the RTi 150's to an idiotic volume level without clipping, I'm hoping it'll do the same with Infinities.

Are you going to get rid of the 6060s?

Go ahead, get it out of your system.  The Onkyo 504 can drive them,  IMO, specially if you don't go to crazy volumes. 

I am saving up for the day a pair of IRS Betas go for sale on Craigslist - I hear those are the Infinitys to own.

I like the sound of 'em. They aren't very tube-friendly to power, but with an Adcom monster amplifier they sound very nice. The super-lows are a bit weak, but if you're not listening to rap/dubstep then you should be fine. I love the Emit tweeters, and the polydome mid sounds pretty sweet to my ears too.

I've got a wedding the weekend of the 12 / 13 and my future father in law is being inducted in to the Tamburitzan Hall of Fame on the 20 / 21.  >:D

Besides, if they're hooked up to Carver amps* then I'll be biased against them to begin with.  O0




*I do dig the sound of the Lightstar

I don't know if you're getting them at full resale/ebay prices or not, but I've got a friend here in Morgantown that may be selling his set here soon.

I might be interested.

These belong to a guy in Ohio. I'm taking my dad to the Cleveland Clinic in a week and I'll have a few hours to kill while he's getting his stuff done. The same guy also has a set of Kappa 9's that I'm going to check out. I already know what those sound like when working properly.

Neither are bargain priced and I'm unsure of the condition of either. I also don't know if he's willing to flex on the pricing.

Keep me posted on that, Adam.
