Infinity RS-II vs. Klipsch RP-5

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Infinity RS-II tower speakers??

I just came across a once in a life time deal, and these speakers are part of the package. I would simply try them out myself, but considering I live on the second floor in a condo and they weigh ~100lbs each I would prefer just to move them only once (ie sell them, and deliver to someone else's home)

My musical sources are all digital flac or apple lossless, and genre ranges from classical to classic rock to the occasional hip-hop or reggae.

If it helps, here are my components:
digital source 24/96 --> Monarchy DIP Upsampler -----> Emotiva XDA-1 DAC -----> AES AE-3 tube preamp ---> Mcintosh MC2125

Any thoughts or recommendations?? THANKS!!

Great info, thanks!

So, the exact model of these speakers is "Infinity RS II A & B", does that mean I have the RSIIa you mentioned?

Very helpful thanks! Is there any way to distinguish if I have a or b (assuming it's one of the 2)?

Again, very helpful! Thanks!!

I should have mentioned earlier - even though I haven't seen the speakers in person yet to apply all the information you provided, I do know when the guy bought these in the early 80's they retailed for $2,000 a pair.

With that price in mind, which model would you speculate them to be? If you think you may know, what do you think they would be worth in today's market? (just a ball park idea)

Thanks again Elizabeth!
