which ones would you pick?: 1) Infinity Alpha 40CH (3 way speaker, 20-200 W RMS, 8 ohm) or 2) jbl xti 80 (3 way speaker, 250 W , 6 ohm) thanks. |

Infinitys alpha series have gone out of production. They are good speakers, but if you want to buy surround or something later on, don't buy them, as the rest of your system will have to be from another manufacturer. i would go for JBL, with these two choises, although there are many other speakers in the same price-range that are better. |

but actually, I can't seem to find the XTI-series on JBL's homepage neither. maybe they too have gone out of production... |

|
|
so if i don't want surround later on, infinity is a better option? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yes. but you should also look into Dali, B&W and Audiopro-speakers. |

i just found some store that apperantly sell both; dali and b&w - i'll go check next week but im having a feeling these could be quite expensive... i could get those infinity or jbl's for about 700 eur (a pair). and thanks for helping :) |

It's always tough choosing speakers |

especially cuz i don't know anything about it :) |

Well that's a distinct disadvantage :P |

well.. i'll try to deal even more insight. My parents have the Infinity Alpha 40s. They bought them not long ago (knowing they were out of production, because they only wanted stereo, and the alpha 40s have won several tests), and they are great. The sound is crystal clear. The only bad thing is that they are kind of hard to place.. they have to be placed at a special distance from the walls and things like that. The good thing about speakers out of production is that the price gets reduced (and.. you don't need to worry about spare-parts, because those will always be available, even though the speaker has gone out of production, so if you blow them, they can be repaired). The bad thing about discontinued speaker-lines, is that there mostly is a reason for them being out of production. Maybe they're technology has been improved in a newer version or something.. I, personally, have the Audiopro Focus SA-5s, and they are great as well. Even though they are not three-way, they go deeper on the bass and higher on the treble than the Alphas.. for some reason, they have a HUGE frequency-range. They are also easy to place. I also have some B&Ws standing in my room (they're my brothers, but he is in africa), and although it is a little older model, the sound is pretty good (even though they are even more hard to place than the infinitys). Dali-speakers almost ALWAYS get good reviews. It is a good brand, but they are a bit expensive, and the audiopros have just as good sound, just at a lower price (maybe because with the Dalis you have to pay a bit for brand and design.. the Audiopros may not look like much, but the sound is GREAT!) |
