    Why Infinity ?

    I hear ya, these produce alot of bass but its not tight punch you in the face/chest bass "like my klipsch RF-7s do, which I love" I would say they are more suited for instrumental/jazz/orchestra and like I said earlier vocals are stunning from them, to me anyway. they do take a massive amount of...

    Hafler XL-600.....The Eviction Notice Amp

    I just pulled out my XL600 after sitting on it for years, thought something was wrong with it but turns out I needed a better preamp with a high level pre out. had hooked up to a set of old klipsch kg 4.5's. had to be careful not to blow the speakers outta the cabinets. she sounds glorious!

    Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

    I have a room full of nice audio gear from goodwill over the years but goodwill's here have become very hard to score nice items any more as they now send anything like gaming stuff, stereo gear and etc. to their shop goodwill sites now, where you have to bid on it like ebay.
