ADS L710 or Infinity Infinitesimal Which One?

I am wondering how an Infinity Infinitesimal will sound compared to an ADS L710? I have been partial to Infinity, but the Infinitesimal usually sells for premium dollars, like $350-450, whereas an ADS L710 sells for $200-350. My space is somewhat limiting (thus the interest in Infinitesimal), but I think I can handle an ADS L710. I have read great things about the Infinitesimal's sound, but I am wondering if it can compare to the ADS L710 considering the driver and size difference. Any one familiar with both these speakers? How will they compare?

The L710 might be doable in a small room. Bigger bass for sure (The Infinitesimal is pretty-small, right?). I've heard some people talk about the bigger ADS models not liking a small room, but I think the L710 might be just fine.

If you want that smooth top-end and great mids and want to keep the cost down, try one of the sealed Wharfedale W*** models from the late '60's or early '70's. W60D, W70D, W60E... (Several AK'ers on here have the W60E's or W60D's, which are basically the same speaker, and they're quite-happy with them). Or you could go with one of the more-efficient, ported models from the early to mid '60's, which have a much-more-British sound (W60, W70... I have my W90's in a room that's somewhere around 15'x15' or maybe even 12'x15').
 
My shop is 20 x 24 and the speakers will be mounted on the 24 wall. 'll take a look at the Wharfdales. Thanks.
 
If you were to get a pair of Infinitesimals (0.1 or 0.2 with dual drive woofer) and not like them you could always sell them again for around the same money. They are very easy speakers to ship. We use ours with a small 8" sub that is unseen in our living room.

The Infinitesimal alone won't do too well with bass. You should read about the dispersion patterns of dome and ribbon tweeters and think about how they fit your room.
