I'm a reviewer also, and I'm familiar with the RS IIb's and other Infinity speakers. I agree with Paul. Those are very good speakers and are capable of providing very high-quality sound. Keep them. I don't know who the other reviewer might be, but it sounds like he has an agenda for whatever reason -- either that or he's not that familiar with your speakers and shouldn't be giving you advice.
Upgrade or sell Infinity RSIIb speakers
I'm wondering if someone can help? I have the aforementioned speakers in apparently excellent condition. I haven't listened to them for about 3 years, but I will likely be able to set up a dedicated listening room next year. In anticipation of this, I started research in upgrading the wiring and active and passive x-overs of this set to maximize their capabilities. I've been told by a well respected, and seemingly very technicaly knowledgable, reviewer that I should get rid of my speakers because of their "design that just doesn't work well" and get a pair of time/phase accurate speakers like Vandersteens or Dunlavys. Now if money were no object, I would do so, but I would like a concensus, if I could get one, on what I should do. I was also planning on getting the TacT room correction unit as well. Might this unit not correct the time/phase inaccuracies of a speaker as well?
Sorry for the long post and thanks if you can help me out!
