I was handed down a pair of Infinity RS2's by my brother about 2 years ago and have been very happy with them. It seems like a good match with my CJ tube amp. ( CJ just a little soft top end ) I was wanting to know if these QLS's would be an upgrade over the RS2's. My room is 16.5 X 15.5 and the QLS's might be just a hair big.
I was thinking about e-mailing the seller and asking for a visit before bidding.
Thanks

Cjpremierfour,
You didn't mention whether your RS-IIs were regular RS-IIs vs. RS-IIA/Bs, or which CJ amp you had, so I'll make some general comments.
First, the QLS-1s need a lot of power for the Watkins woofer, and your amp needs to be comfortable handling low impedances. That combo is not typically the forte of tube amps, but your CJ may be an exception. Some of the bigger 200W hybrids may be comfortable in that role, but I wouldn't suggest trying to power QLSs with an MV-45, for example.
I find the RS-IIs and RS-IIA/Bs to be exceptionally fine speakers. Aside from additional bass extension, I'm not sure the QLS-1 have anything on the RS-IIA/Bs.
In a room your size, I think you might find the RS-IIs a better match, but if you can go audition the QLSs, by all means do so. They're pretty impressive speakers.
