Infinity Prelude MTS

Does anybody here have anything good to say about these speakers which, for what it's worth, are in class A of Stereophile's Recommended Components, have been well reviewed by Michael Fremer in the same publication and by Anthony Cordesman, but seem to be given short shrift by the subjective audiophile set, mainly because Dr. Toole does not suffer posers too well it seems. I have auditioned a pair and was astounded by the bass reproduction, felt the midrange and treble were clear and accurate and liked the fact that the stereo image seems high enough off the floor, unlike some speakers I heard that despite being at the correct height seem to have the performers only a foot and half or so above floor level. My one concern is that the bass seemed a bit detached from the rest of the range; then again, I have not heard very many music systems with subs. The rest of the system was composed of a Krell CD player and Krell integrated amp. The room was square and dreadful. I think the bass could be made to sound much better in a well proportioned room. Many thanks.

I love the MTS Preludes, I audition the Revel Salon, Wilson Sophia, the B&W 802 and when I heard the Preludes I was SOLD.
Coming from the Dunlavy familly it was great to get rid of the monster speaker.
If you have the right Amp you can listen to JAZZ, Classical, and Rock.
I have had mine for 1 year and I have been to 4 stereophile shows nothing for the money comes close.
Infinity will come to your house and set up the subs, and off you go. The subs are self powered 800 watts each that is a whole horsepower per Sub. they can tighten the base, they can lighten up the highs whatever. I think perfect for tube lovers as you can run the towers with your tube amp and let the subs run off there own built in amp. I think 27 Hz.is the lows.*** Class AA ,up with the Big Boys $80,000 +++.

They are very under rated, they do not go to Stereo Shows, they hardly advertised. Used $5500 on audiogon a steal deal.

Even my brother bought his NEW in Vegas, he whent to the CES 2003 show looking for them and he said he found them but not hooked up.
He went to the Vegas dealer listen to them for an hour and bought them on the spot, he loves rock and Roll.
Try them, you may love them!!!
