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.

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.

One more thing guys

For power, I used to use bi amped mode to power the RS Ib.:

- A couple of Krell mono amps (Krell KMA100 Class A) and
- A Mark Levinson (ML-9).

Is this enough power?
Are these amps up to the task?

Thanks
Hi Rick...Glad you are well!

I'm out of the hobby,after 40 years of it all.I'm currently back to my first love.Seriously studying music theory and playing acoustic guitar again.

Very rewarding

The crossover box for the RS-1's is needed,but the design can be significantly bettered by "updating/modifying" the crossover box.A good outsourced modify guy can most likely do this.

Good luck to all
