Can anyone identify this set and let me know what it's worth? It's at a local auction tomorrow and I might check them out.

The model should be on the back.
Infinity Alpha 50, black ash finish. Originally $600/pr, good used price about half that. They're described as a nice wing speaker for home theatre sound systems. Vintage 2007, discontinued now.

Make sure you check that the foam surrounds on the speaker drivers are ok

Thanks, gents!

Do they STILL use that foam on their speakers? I've had to redo the surrounds on a couple of Infinitys, simply because I like their sound; I like that multicell tweeter they used to use. Good highs, clear, but not strident. I don't know if the set referenced here uses that tweeter - it doesn't look like it.

They sell re-foam kits for them

My "A" system has a set of Infinity towers as the fronts, they each have 3 10" woofers
Love them - good luck with the bidding
Needed to edit, my ride is an Infiniti, speakers are Infinity

I looked at them tonight. The little tweeter at the top was broken on one of them. Everything else at the auction was junk, so I didn't even bother to stick around.
They woulda looked real nice on either side of my 50" plasma.

I have a pair of Infiniti Kappa 9's and a pair of Kappa 8.1's for decades and simply love them! Get them if you can...
Brian, do you have any Infinity components in your Infiniti? You should get real good gas mileage...

When I bought my sound system in about 1980, I was torn between the JBLs and the Infinity speakers. I went with the JBLs, but just barely.
I've got an old pair of Infinity 2-way bookshelf speakers sitting on my oversize desk in my man cave. My brother bought them for my parents in the late 80s. The foam around the second driver was rotting away on each one. I found a company that made replacements and now they're stellar. The sound is pretty sharp, I get decent separation on heavily orchestrated stuff. I run the computers outputs into an old JVC receiver and added on a Polk subwoofer to supply some bottom. It's not the equal of the system we have in the living room but it's a damn site better than any computer speakers I've ever heard.
