Infinity seriously lost their way for a number of years and became mass market, Circuit City junk. They have made great inroads with their newest product, but they are still fighting the perceptions. We have an Intermezzo system (4.1's, 3.5, 2.6's, and 1.2) on consignment from one of our clients who needs a larger system to fill his huge space, it is truly excellent. Infinity is still suffering from trying to be everybody's speaker company. They have 3 lines of mass market product (Entra, Intermezzo, and Kappa) that is sold at high discounts online and in Circuit City, but then they have two more lines (Intermezzo and Prelude MTS) which are truly excellent and targeted towards specialty audio. Unfortunately, the upper lines are still associated with the cheaper lines. What they need are fewer product lines (c'mon, who needs five different speaker lines!), better advertising of their product, and better control of Intermezzo and Prelude distribution if they want more credibility and respect.
Why are Infinities the Rodney Dangerfields of spe
I have yet to hear anything but praise for the baby Infinity 2.6 Intermezzos or the top end MTS Preludes. In searching the audiogon forums, however, I notice that the responses to Infinity threads is almost nil. What gives??? I am interested in some 4.1 Intermezzos that can flat out spank many speakers that are highly touted in some of the discussions. Am I missing something?
