Message-ID: <10210@uwm.edu> Date: 14 Mar 91 14:00:51 GMT Sender: news@uwm.edu Lines: 23 Approved: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Originator: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu I have heard from various people (and read in the news groups) that you should never use box subwoofers with dipolar speakers. I believe the reasoning was that it would be hard to get them to blend in together. I was listening to some of Infinity's RS series three speakers. I got to talking to the salesman about Infinity the company, and of course he brought up their $75,000 speakers. I left with some documentation on them. From the description in the docs, it appears they are basically a bipolar system with a rather large subwoofer. In the docs they kept saying that they were bipolar down to 70hz. Who has heard any the Infinity IRS line of speakers? Do they work? Does this mean you can use subwoofers with bi-polar speakers? Thanks for any comments. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick W. Brewer President of CATT Program at NCSU noble@catt.ncsu.edu
