Infinity 5000 (Not RS)

Hi,

I tagged an old post in the generic speaker section but I think I should have posted here really. I did a forum search and only came up with info on the RS 5000.

There is a pair of Infinity 5000 speakers on CL in my area. They are not RS 5000 but just plain 5000. I cannot attach the picture a second time but it is in this post :

The picture is a little out of focus of course and I cannot make out any detail on the drivers but they don't appear to be anything amazing. I could be wrong of course...

Here is the only info the infinity site has : http://www.infinitysystems.com/home...kProduct=Y&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA

Would any of you know if these would be worth $50 and about 1 1/2 hour drive?

Thanks!

Well, ok... Maybe I'm more interested in the sound...

Yes,

I did admit that I posted on someone else's thread about this first but then realized that it was not in the infinity section.

I guess I'm not as worried about the value as the sound. I know from what I have found so far that they were not high end or anything when they were sold. Beyond that, I have not found much info on them. Since this is the infinity specific area, I was hoping someone that had a pair at one point and could tell me if they were horriable?
 
The 5000s were made for us, by Infinity.

You'll find them to be very satisfying. A smooth, extended (though not EMIT-like) top (soft-dome), nice mids (doped paper), and a controlled and solid bottom-end (polypropylene- and this is a vented design, very unusual for Infinity).

My mom still runs the pair of these I gave her in, oh... 1982? Very easy to drive, as well.
 
Wow, very cool info. No wonder there isn't alot out on the web for those speakers. I wound up buying a set of RS5001's and am very happy with them so far. The 4ohm load on the 5000 scared me a little as I don't have great amplification yet. Sounds like a decent speaker though. I think there is still a set for sale around tampa heheh.
 
Ah, those would be the ones in the Tampa CL.
If the cabinets are in good shape, they would be worth the asking price.
