Infinity Prelude MTS


Does anybody here have anything good to say about these speakers which, for what it's worth, are in class A of Stereophile's Recommended Components, have been well reviewed by Michael Fremer in the same publication and by Anthony Cordesman, but seem to be given short shrift by the subjective audiophile set, mainly because Dr. Toole does not suffer posers too well it seems. I have auditioned a pair and was astounded by the bass reproduction, felt the midrange and treble were clear and accurate and liked the fact that the stereo image seems high enough off the floor, unlike some speakers I heard that despite being at the correct height seem to have the performers only a foot and half or so above floor level. My one concern is that the bass seemed a bit detached from the rest of the range; then again, I have not heard very many music systems with subs. The rest of the system was composed of a Krell CD player and Krell integrated amp. The room was square and dreadful. I think the bass could be made to sound much better in a well proportioned room. Many thanks.

I've been living with MTS speakers for about 2 1/2 years now and I love them. It took a while to find components that I could afford that were capable of matching their performance but once I did and got everything tweaked to my satisfaction, I found them to be one of the most impressively realistic speakers I've ever heard.
Voodoochile:

Which Intermezzos do you have? Do you find them to be overly sensetive regarding placement?

If you ever visit the past what compnanets did you get that complemented the Preludes?

I've also had my MTS Preludes for a few years now. I run them with a Llano 300 watt class A amplifier and Threshold T-3 preamp. I think they are very nice.

I have a large room in my finished basement and actually have them 13 feet apart and am 13-14 feet back. I only tow them in a bit, but what a soundstage! I'm using JPS Labs interconnects and speaker cable.
