Sounds like they might be a good match for my sx-1250.
My lovely vintage Sony SS-G7a 15 inch woofers yet the midrange is to die for.
Soundstage fit for a Super Bow

Quick question: what is the general consensus on the Infinity Qa speakers? I recently got handed down a pair from a friend who found them at a Goodwill. I haven't tried them out yet since my Marantz 2220b is being cleaned and repaired right now. They have Infinity's famous tweeters from the looks of it, but are they worth keeping or refurbishing? Silly question I know, so please forgive me.
Recently got my Dad's old setup running. McIntosh C26 preamp, McIntosh MC2105 power amp, and Magnepan Tympani 1D speakers. The preamp is a bit screwed up (volume pot has a lot of noise on it and channel imbalance), but the power amp and speakers work flawlessly. My Bifrost through a SYS into the system is pretty incredible. The soundstage, obviously, is absolutely monstrous. The only thing I'm missing is some extra dynamic impact, which I know planars lack, but the newer 1.7 Magnepan speakers definitely have a better sense of impact over these guys. Still, liquid smooth and MONSTROUS sound from these guys. Really enjoying it.
WOW! What a nice system to inherit! Consider cleaning out the c-26 with some deoxit to help with the scratchiness and imbalances. It's a piece of cake on that unit, the hardest problem I had with mine was keeping the chrome chassis from getting deoxit schmutz on it.
A craigslist find yesterday...................two Polk Audio M5JR bookshelfs from 1990 added to my family room system with the Pioneer SX-1050 driving them. Very sweet sound and thump plenty good enough for me. And meet the WAF.
