I figured survey results from The Haven would be noticeably different than survey results from Steve Hoffmans, and as is typical of The Haven anditsour members, I was not let down. Actually results are noticeably more different than I thought they would be. Here are the results thus far. 23 total votes @The Haven, 145@Steve Hoffmans. Thanks for participating and commenting in this just-for-fun survey and feel free if you havent.

General question, dont think too hard. And if you pick bass, mids, or highs, that does not insinuate that your preferred sound is "unbalanced from a...forums.stevehoffman.tv
What's our average age...Interesting that the Highs have not received one vote.
I resemble that remarkWhat's our average age...
Maybe none of us can hear them 😋
I have owned three different pair of Lowthers... guess I'm right along with you. 😎Hmmmmm.......I love Lowthers. Wonder how I voted.
"The highs" - the quality and delicacy thereof can be pretty important to me, come to think of it, especially in classical rep.Interesting that the Highs have not received one vote.
What kinda triggered my own comment was listening to the EMITs in the little Infinitesimals. Dang, they're nice.The highs, for me, are more often a deal breaker in 'bad' speakers, than they are something I look for as the preferred ideal. I've sold a few speaker due to them having highs I didn't care for. My Spendor S-100s, for one.
I only ever had one pair of Infinities with the EMIT tweeter, but I do remember them as they really stood out as having better treble than the other vintage speakers I was playing with at the time. I'm generally not a fan of older speakers anymore, but I'd make room for a nice pair of Infinities (assuming they're small like yours).What kinda triggered my own comment was listening to the EMITs in the little Infinitesimals.

The Infinitesimals are the only Infinitys I've had through. I'm not a older speaker fan, either. The little guys with the EMITs and the Luxman are really my final answer to desktop sound, though. The tweeters give the sound a really tangible, "real" texture and imaging.I only ever had one pair of Infinities with the EMIT tweeter, but I do remember them as they really stood out as having better treble than the other vintage speakers I was playing with at the time.
