Thanks for your responses. I've never seen a used pair on Craiglist or Ebay. People must really like them.
In comparison to my IRS Sigma the Ren-90:s seems to be the more "earfriendly" and easylistening speaker of the two. BUT.. If you go with the upgrade to the Sigmas you will get a much more complex speaker with extreme demands considering positioning and you will need a separate powerplant. A 12 inch woofer is never wrong:thmbsp:

The Sigma's are such a better speaker than the Rens, it's ridiculous to compare the two.

Picky, picky, picky is what Infinity speakers are with ribbon drivers. Took me quite a while to find an amp that really let my Ren 90's sing. I've heard IRS Gammas and Betas, and in my room, the Ren 90'ss sounded good as either of the other two in their rooms, to my ears of course. They can benefit from a good subwoofer or two, but the 10" Watkins woofers do dig down low, and I have good response at 26 Hz.
The Ren 90's give you a significant portion of the high-end Infinity sound, all while keeping the price fairly reasonable, and in a relatively small package.
The best Infinity? That's debatable; in my opinion, no, but they are certainly my favorite
