Except for the speakers, this system has been together in more or less this configuration for about 3 years. Two Christmases ago, the missus asked if I could move the big Infinity RS-IIb's out of the living room, and use the Sony's for the holidays. Trying to be an understanding partner, I agreed...big mistake, as they have not been allowed back in the room since :sigh:. Maybe some day.

Pictures to come later. Light is poor right now and everyone else in the house is asleep.
 
I know. I've been waiting for this..... and now he's using Sony speakers...:headscrat

What Tedrick should do is find/build a pair of speakers that just tear the Sony ones to shreds yet aren't any bigger. That'll show her.

*Sigh* ..... Women.
 
I'm surprised she 'settled' for the M7's. Those aren't exactly-small. They're supposed to be great speakers.
 
I'll be the first to sign the 'Bring Back the Infinities' petition.

Look forward to the fotas.
 
I feel your pain about the Infinities, I just moved the Maggies back after the holidays and endured the first couple of days! :>)

Tedrick, what you need is a set of original stands for your pair of Modulus satellites and a servo-controlled sub. While it won't quite produce the EMIM magic of the RS-IIb's, it will still give you some of that Infinity trademark EMIT magic.
