Busted, another nail in the coffin for 'high-end' audio..

Did infinity go to hell before they came out with the Prelude MTS?

I believe these came out in '99 or so. I heard the smaller bookshelves from the series and was quite impressed. I wish I could get my ears on these though

I have the predecessor to the Prelude MTS, The Prelude P-FR and really like them. I would like to try the MTS myself. Infinity usually comes out with a new driver technology and builds a wonderful sounding flagship speaker like the P-FR and MTS. Everything else in their line is then smaller with less drivers and compromises to bring the cost down where normal people can afford them. I am a normal person (up for some debate) and bought the P-FR used as I couldn't afford the $4500 price tag when they were new. I think the CMMD tweeter in the MTS is so crisp it takes the multiple midrange drivers to tame it and make it sound good. I think that is what hurt Infinity because to me their smaller speakers were way too bright. Same I have felt about JBL with their pure titanium tweeters. Just too bright in a two or three driver enclosure.
