What to drive my RS 2b's Infinity


I currently am trying a bryston 3b on the low end
and a SUMO nine on the mid-highs

I feel it is a bit underpowered.

Any experience out there with these speakers ?

Hello:

I had these for a long time, still with Infinity, now have IRS BETA. RSIIb not an easy load, quality of amplifiers will be revealed best results with 200w/ch+ solid state with high current on the bottom and 100w/ch+ tube amp on the top. Good interconnect and speaker cable a must.
Tube preamp will help too. All the higher-end Infinity models of this era were voiced with Audio Research. Although these are no "spring chicken" these days, you'll be hard pressed to find better sound if properly amplified.

Keep the Infinity flame burning, and good luck!

I recommend a good tube preamp driving an InnerSound ESL amp. The InnerSound amp is designed to drive the most difficult speaker loads and it will deliver 600 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 1200 watts/channel into 2 ohms. It's a great sounding amp that makes most other decent amps sound wimpy by comparison!
I have owned a pair of RS 2b's, RS 1b's, Delta/Gamma's . wich I am using at this time. Right now I am running the Delta/Gamma's with a Plinius SA 250 mk III,and the sound is warm and wonderful. I have tried ,on all the above Infinty systems ,Krell KSA 250,KMA 100's mk II,Parasound HCA 3500, Adcom 5800, Mark Levinson No. 333, Accuphase amps, etc. The Krells had great low end punch, but the Plinius makes those Infinity emits and planer mids sound so warm ,like a tube amp. I would try a Plinius SA 100 or SA 250 , It will drive your speakers well, since Plinius amps can run in class A/AB
