floor standing speakers with powered woofer

P.S., I have seen them for sale for around $1,000, cost new was about $3,400. The only problem I ever heard about was that the speaker surrounds sometimes needs replacing. Mine are still good after 12 years, never any problem. Still play them nearly every day.

I have the Infinity Prelude Compositions MTS. Vastly underrated speaker. Google/Read Robert Harley''s review in Stereophile. Four-way dynamic loudspeaker with internal woofer amp. Driver compliment: 12" woofer, four 5.25" lower-midrange units, two 4" upper-midrange drivers, 1" soft dome tweeter. Frequency response: 25hz-20kHz. 6 ohms nominal. 96db sensitivity.

I bought these speakers to pair with my Cary 300B SEI Integrated. Approximately 11 watts. An extremely good match.

At the moment I have them connected to my Cary V12 & Slp98 combo. Heavenly 50watts Triode that will bring you to tears often. Just right warm, full, midrange to-die-for, yet still transparent. It rocks Led Zep. Size and scale on large orchestra is just right. Tone, tone, timbre, you hear the strings plucked plus bod, decay, really nice. Well you get the idea. Good luck.

P.S. I believe Stereomojo used this speaker for Stereomojo DAC shoot out.

Saki, you are likely reading a review of the later model, which was 90db. The specs I gave are for the earlier model that I have, taken directly from the Owner's Manuel. The review in Stereophile was from around 2000-2001 by Robert Harley. Infinity no longer makes this speaker...they screwed it up with the later model.
