Infinity Beta 50 speakers; how do they compare?

I can't give you a specific name, but an Infinity insider told me to keep my Primus 360's over the Beta 50's (and 40's). It's not that the Primus's do everything better than the Beta's in every way, but the Primus performs better overall in Infinity's proprietary objective measurements, and would thus perform better in their subjective listening tests.I bet the Primus's would be preferred in double blind listening tests over 80% of the other speakers on audiogon, regardless of the price. They are a phenomenal pair of speakers.

Where'd you get them for $329 a pair? That was a good price. I got my 360's for $299, refurbished direct from Harman.

Markwriter thanks for your comments. I've been listening to the Primus 362s and really think they are amazing for the money; I've decided to just keep them and am getting my son a pair of Infinity Primus 152s. I got the 362s on eBay from a place in New York called Audio Video Source brand new for $329, but with the shipping they came to $408; still a real bargain. Thanks again for your comments.

I stumbled upon a nice Fisher KX200 tube integrated amp at 30 wpc. I'm thinking that the P362 might be a lovely match for the vintage tube amp. The 91 dB sensitivity sure sounds attractive.

To start with I'll try the amp with a pair of refurbished EPI 150s. I had a pair in college running off a 15 wpc Marantz SS integrated amp albeit in a small apartment.
