Picking them up in San Diego in the next few days. I'm sure a few of you infinity audiophiles may have been tracking the ebay auction from the salvation army.
I've been obsessed with finding a solid pair of Infinity speakers since hearing the IRS Sigma's recently. I have high hopes that the renaissance speakers will be life changing next to my current ESS AMT-1b's.
My few questions.
The rear foam will need to be replaced. From what I've read, any simple closed-cell foam cut to size will be just fine as a replacement? Is it important that fully covers the square hole securely?
I'll be driving them with a McIntosh C30 pre and Crown-PS400. Will this be sufficient to make these things sing? Would I gain much by bi-amping with the PS400 for the lows and either a dc-300a II or another ps-400 for the highs?
The speaker wire terminals have the shorting straps in place. Does it matter which posts I connect the speaker wire to? (hi or lo)
Is there a minimum gauge speaker wire I should use? I would guess my current wires are 16 gauge.
I'm sure I'll have further questions when I get them up and running but I appreciate any help until then!
