Powering Old Infinity towers with Peachtree 125 sky-- with analog EQ


How can I set up a system where I use(2) Infinity RS111A towers and (2)InfinityRS5B at the same time  with adding an old school vintage Yamaha EQ? .. I've already purchased the Peachtree 125 sky.

I’d love to hear a servo static I again. It was pretty spectacular back in 1971 and amazingly expensive at $2000. Can you imagine?

Any amplifier will work and sound better into a net 8 ohm load (4 ohm  speakers in series) than it will work into a net of 2 ohm load, assuming you parallel two 4 ohm speakers. Albeit some amplifiers can handle the 2 ohm load.
Here is a suggestion: Fix the room, not the electronics.  And if that doesn't cut it, from what I read, doing EQ in the digital domain is superior to doing it in the analog domain.  Every analog equalizer I have ever heard does serious damage to SQ, in my opinion.  Also, if your ultimate goal is to use the two pairs of speakers you mentioned in your OP, then I recommend you set them up in your room and listen extensively, BEFORE you evaluate the need for EQ.  (Again, if paralleling two 4-ohm speakers is not recommended with your amplifier, then explore connecting them in series for a net 8-ohm load.) With two pairs of speakers, you will have a lot of flexibility to cure perceived room problems by re-positioning the speakers.
