A secondary system to enjoy.

reubent

I have 2 vintage Infinity Speakers that use EMITs - Infinity Qb and RS1.5. I do not find the EMITs "steely" in either implementation. 

I don't find EMITs to be even remotely "steely." They are revealing, however, and can sound strident if driven by the wrong amps, especially high feedback SS amplifiers.

Why not install speakers in the ceiling throughout the house and attach them to an amplifier so you can hear music throughout your home?  Here is where a Bluesound comes in handy.

Use of my secondary system is outside on my back deck in the afternoons. My primary one serves late evening. Will more often steer towards rock/blues during the afternoon hours than the evening ones (jazz/vocals then). More driven by time of day/attitude than system I believe.
