One Way or Another
New addition to my small listening room. Really enjoying the clarity and high/mid notes. Slightly more detailed than my KEF 103.2s. Must be the EMITs!
The woofers have been re-foamed/re-coned by a previous owner, albeit not with the original looking cones. Looks like a decent job but without the consistent grey/silver colour scheme as the EMIT and Polydome.
I have a few questions and I am hoping this is the best place for answers.
1. Any specs on the RS5 model?
2. I am guessing they are rated in the range of 4-8 ohms, but can they be driven safely by a Pioneer SX-950 (85 wpc into 8 ohms and 110 into 4 ohms)? Fyi, the Pioneer is fully restored and, to date, has hardly broken a sweat driving the RS5s at moderate volume levels. Keeping in mind my listening room is small (15' by 8').
3. Is it worth it to open the RS5s up and clean/deoxit the tweeter/mid-range controls?
4. Since I plan to keep them, are there any tips as to where to find the Infinity logo badge for the grills?
I already posted some pics in another thread:

but I added a few here so it's clear what RS5 model I have.
