All original, and yes I am the original owner.

The cabinets have picked up a few tiny imperfections due to age, but nothing major.
Also included is a second set of midrange tweeter panel covers/screen along with a 20' pair of Monster Cables designed for the base towers and a second pair of 20' Sound Hose, these are the ideal cables for these speakers. Included is the Original Infinity RS-1 (b) Servo Crossover. Everything is original with NO modifications.

Stereophile Review- Summing Up- Infinity RS-1
All in all then, the RS-1Bs must be ranked among the very best speaker systems that money can buy without going completely overboard. They are not The Ultimate Speaker for everybody, but in view of what they do superbly, I think it fair and accurate to describe the RS-1Bs as the quintessential audiophile speaker system. These speakers do nothing valued by the critical audiophile anything short of superbly! People who get to hear live music frequently, and who value what we have come to call "musicality"--sweetness, warmth, and delicacy--may be better off choosing something else like the MartinLogan Monoliths, but in so doing they will give up some of the impact and drama that are just as characteristic of live music.--J.

I'll own a pair some day! One of several 'dream' speakers for me!

Some day is today! Comon... Omaha to Denver? Easy! Straight shot down I80... ok 8Hrs... but I did that for my KEF R107's and I think AudioFan doubled that for his Beveridges. ;)

Hmmm... how about a 2nd trip here? Then you can compare with 107's and keep the better pair. :D
Man, Denver has so many good speakers popping up.

Ya got that right! And NO, I do not have $3400 hanging around... let alone the room for them to "breath" properly! These will probably end up in a Chaliot in Aspen! ;)

You're so right! It's an easy drive (albeit a boring one) but alas I am leaving for an east coast wedding in Rhode Island and I doubt my wife would appreciate me missing out on her youngest brother's wedding!!!
 
Yeah go get them, you won't be disappointed, they aren't Betas, but next best thing! I always like this pic off the web of another pair in a owners listening room. All Accuphase equipment in his system, driving them and none of it is real hi power just hi quality.


And unlike other vintage Infinity systems their an easy load, a 100 watt per channel tube amp on the mid/hi panels and 200 watts on the bass towers will blow you out of the room!
