These well regarded vintage Infinity speakers have one of the most unique driver configurations out there. There are 3 ribbon midrange drivers radiating front and back, two forward tweeters and one rear facing tweeter, and 2 poly woofers.
While these are not the most accurate speakers ever made, many connoisseurs love them for their musicality and ability to engage the listener. These are full range speakers and are capable of deep bass. The controls on the back let you dial in all 3 frequency ranges to match your room listening position and taste.
These beauties include a rare matching bass EQ, which as the manual states, must be used with this model to achieve a flat frequency response and to dial in the bass precisely. I have seen these speakers sold many times without the proper bass EQ, as many folks seem to misplace it during a move or as the speakers trade owners.
Condition on these speakers is very good with no noticeable deep dents or scratches. Quite the achievement for a speaker this size and age. Even the grills are perfect!
The foam woofer surrounds which fail on almost all speakers this age have been professionally redone and will likely last another 20 years. Speakers work perfectly.
These will ship on a pallet via freight with insurance, custom packed in our shop with the best materials available.
