Infinity Intermezzo 4.1T Towers.


Does anyone own or heard the Infinity Intermezzo 4.1t tower speakers?
They look very impressive, and there are some great close-out deals going on them.
I also read that they share alot of the technology as the top-of-the-line Infinity Preludes.
What are your impressions of these sonically?
What are there sonic strengths and weaknesses?
How do they compare with other speakers in their original [$5,000.00 per pair] price range?
Thank you for your responses.

I've had them for a year now and I still love them. Last summer I auditioned Eggleson's Rosa, B&W 803, and some VR-4's. I also ordered a pair of the 4.1t's and ended up keeping them. If you want BASS then these are not for you. In my room they go flat to 25hz with no doubling but they did not sound like the other speakers I auditioned which I suspect have mid-bass humps. The top end is not bright or with any sizzle and they were the only speakers I've heard in my price range that did not whiten the sound of brass. I suspect they might sound a little unimpressive but in the most impressive way. Soundstage and imaging are top notch. The built-in parametric eq and test kit really helped tame a room mode at 47hz in my room. Ultra fidelity and a mark of honor for Infinity. Probably the best speakers most audiophiles have turned their noses up at and disregarded because of the brand name. To sum-up: Mid-range to die for, flat frequency across the band, and lack of coloration. B&W who?
