Hello,
I picked up a pair of Infinity Qe speakers ( $20.00 ) today at a goodwill store that a buddy of mine took me to. I did'nt really want or need them but they were in good looking original condition and a different friend of mine had a pair of Infinity speakers some 30 or so years ago and I recalled that at the time his sounded terrific. So I took them out to my shop and hooked them up to my Pioneer sx1250 as "B" speakers with my HPM100s as "A" speakers. They did not sound right so I removed them to check for obvious problems. I noticed that the fuses on the backs were blown ( 1.25s ) so I replaced them expecting them to blow again right away. Well what a suprise!!! after a bit of moving around, I found that sitting right next to the HPM100s they actally sounded as if they "complimented" the deep "rock" sound of the HPMs with a lighter, crisper sound. My buddy said that often a pair of smaller speakers are used with larger speaker to make up for what ever the biggies lack. Any opinions on these speakers or my crazy audio experiances are appreciated.
P.S.
I don't know if the Infinity Qe speaker is collectable but the pair I bought are serial numbered together ( 1 number apart ) and have "Emit" written over a chrome, ribbon type tweeter. I really like them!!
Thanks,
Jacks son
