Infinity Renaissance 90 questions
Hi Timpani, I completely agree with your comments on the quality of upstream components (particularly amps) & the need to feed the Watkins high current, that's why I like the Classe so much, it gives you enough watts in a single pa, but a truc... 
Infinity Renaissance 90 questions
Hi Timpani,I was wondering in your response: "These emits are the same as used in the Epsilon but in the Epsilon they are used with a specially designed dispersion membrane which increases their horizontal and vertical dispersion and eliminates th...

Hmmm Okeeteekid, Clavil's comments make me think you mod on your K9's may have cured an efficiency problem. Those monsters Clavil is driving his Rens with, and the similarly superb results owners report from similar set ups makes me think that if ... 
Which is the best high end passive power filter?
Would anyone with experience with both the higher end RS filter AND Tesla Power Cell care to comment on their comparative audiophile performance? (I should state, in my case, I only need 8 outlets & it would be run on standard 240v/15 amp AU s...

Thanks Timpani, am not contemplating any refurb of my crossover as mentioned at this stage, but your comments are interesting. Also, which version of the Ren 90 crossover is that, as there were obviously several revisions throughout the production...

Timpany, thanks for sharing your technical experience with the Ren 90's. As most fans of these speakers would know, there are basically no reputable critical reviews to be found online, and therefore no lab reports etc..you're relying on Infinity'...

That's an interesting set up on your Rens Timpani. Speaking the obvious, but smooth watts are very important for the Emits! I can certainly understand the popularity of running a ss amp on the Watkins & tube power for the highs, but I feel tha... 
Infinity Renaissance 90 questions
Hi Timpani, I was really interested to read that earlier run Renaissance 90's had a 2.5db peak at 2.3Khz. Interesting! That does support Infinity's motivation to introduce later revs of the crossover. That also put a smile on my face as the pair I...

I had a good read up on the Running Springs company & their various models, in particular the Jaco. I can see why these guys don't bother with too much advertising and self-glorification. That company is the real deal & just do the busines...

Fafafion, I agree with your view that newest is not always best, and I must say Alan's products look impressive and he seems like a very knowledgable & decent guy. Thanks to everyone for your responses!

Hi Olp88, thanks for sharing your experiences with your Renaissance 90's. I always find it interesting to hear the excitement and genuine enthusiasm owners have for these gems. You're certainly feeding your Rens plenty of juice! I agree, I believe...

Thanks Fafafion and to others for your recommendations so far! Also fafafion, why did you prefer the SA to Alan's design in your system?

Which is the best high end passive power filter?
06-28-09: Teajay,Hi Teajay, yeah I got a response from Running Springs today & it would have been too time consuming/costly to reconfigure their US version to AU spec. The reason I require AU plugs is that i've got some AU spec hard-wired gear... 
Which is the best high end passive power filter?
Hi Rushton, yeah I was actually looking at Lloyd's power filter & was impressed. He is a Mr Magoo-type character with some pretty unique and exceptional gear. His price all told is in the ballpark, so no problem there. My only query would be i...
