I've been looking for speakers that would complement my Infinity Qb main speakers with comparable tonality in a 5.1 surround set-up. I've been leaning toward finding a set of the InfiniTesimal Reference Standard speakers with the Watkins woofer and what I think are referred to as the "K" version of the Emit Tweeter. These have been difficult to find in good condition. I can find several that are not fully functioning, or need repairs/replacements. A photo I grabbed from the interwebz is attached to this post.
I'd also been watching for a good deal on some InfiniTesimal Fours - with the round Emit "R". I keep seeing them in ones and twos and sometimes with a sub-woofer. None of the deals I saw tripped my trigger.
Until tonight...
I just purchased a complete InfiniTesimal Four 3.1 system off that auction site - Right and Left speakers that I'll use as rear surround units, a dedicated center channel speaker and a sub-woofer. There are some very good photos of this entire set-up on this AK post -

I may have slightly overpaid, and I have no idea of the real condition of the speakers I bought - an auction site is always a crapshoot. However, even if they need some work, I think I might be pleased with how these will work with my Qb's. I didn't even know there was a dedicated center channel speaker for the InfiniTesimal Four, so I was surprised when this showed up. I may have to look for another similar sub-woofer in order to get some additional distribution of the bass.
It would be nice to hear from someone who has used these speakers in their own system. I think using them with a set of Qb's in a 5.1 surround system is unusual enough that I won't find anyone with that experience, but I'd love to hear any thoughts or comments you guys might have.
