Infinity RS 1b the one with 4 Towers - Recommend?


I have a working Infinity RS 1b system. The base drivers are fine.

Trouble is that I have not used this system for over 7 years. Is this system still competitive? Is there any market for it?

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Still great speakers,if well preserved.Sid Marks of TAS fame(he wrote the Mercury and RCA LP column for years)still has this speaker as his main set up.I've heard them at his place,like a zillion times.

I had them years ago,and wonder why I got rid of them.

SUPERB....and don't doubt that for a minute!Actually,in today's market,and poor economy, these designs would sell for a small fortune.

Consider yourself lucky-:)

Good luck

Yes, fine speakers but rot will set in and cones will also go bad. Dump them while you can. Much better stuff out there.


My RS1-B's are about 28 yrs old. I originally bought the first pair of RS-1's from Lyric. Then I had them moded to the 1A's. The Arnie Nudel visited me and convinced me to upgrade to the B's. I dit that but also did some extra mods (somewhat similar to Sid's but not that extensive).

When I would visit shows or visit a friends home to hear their system I always felt that, as aged my system is) it still represented a great illusion of thew sound I appreciated.

My EMIMS have all been replace but my EMITS and woofers are all original.

A truly GREAT system (Sid's is better).

P.S. Good to see you back, Mark!

Guys -
This is most helpful and encouraging.
Keep the comments coming.

By the way, the system comes with a crossover box. Is that what I should be using or something else?

Thanks a ton .... and may your ears stay perfect as long as you live.

Now I just have to decide whether to keep and reactivate them, or sell them.
