I don't know, I'm not so sure about that. Is the reverse also true?

I mean -- no offense, intended -- but those SM255s aren't exactly the last word in floorstanders.There are several variables to take into account here, but I'm pretty sure that if one had a mind to, one could put together some combination of monitors + subwoofer that would subjectively outperform his current Infinity setup. That's if he were unhappy with the Infinities.

Either way, if one is going to look for speakers, audition wherever possible and allow for break in period. My guess is that his dissatisfaction with new speakers has more to do with break-in (or lack thereof) as it does with his ears being acclimated to the more familiar sound produced by his Infinities.
