Pinnacle K8 vs Infinity ERS 110II or ERS 110DT?

[Modoc]

would welcome some opinions on the above in ceilings. Installer was out of the K8's, so substituted the Infinity's instead. I'm not definitely sure if I have the 110II's or 110DT's? I think the 110II's though as they have the "Infinity" logo on the grilles. Thanks for everybody's input....look forward to your opninions.

They're OK, what are they being used for?

 

[Modoc]

rear left & right at this point.

I'd imagine they'd be just fine for movie watching. Those speakers arent asked to do all the much and are just there for support.

On the other hand, if you're listening to a lot of multichannel music, those speakers' responsibilities go way up. At some point you might look to upgrade.

That said, who cares what I or anybody else here thinks.. Do you like em?

 

[Modoc]

upgrade to what exactly? Would RBH's make that big a difference as to being an in-ceiling speaker for the rear? And what about adding 2 fL&R front in-ceilings? Thanks.

Perhaps you could elaborate on what else you've got.

I'm guessing the surround will be used for movies and tv, or maybe a DSP mode when it comes to music, I think your surrounds should be just fine. Heck, thats a pretty nice unit, I'm sure they'd perform nicely with anything you throw at em.

Like I said, the only thing that matters is that you like em.

The Infinities aren't aimable, so make sure you know exactly where to place them.

I have a pair of ERS 310's still in the boxes in my attic that I bought to be surrounds for my P362's. The tweeters aren't aimable. (Leave me alone about the installs. I bought wire and plates to do it this spring, but a certain female has kept me busy w/ wedding stuff. I ain't climbing into a 130 degree attic right now anyway.)

Why didn't you insist the installer get more Pinnacle's to match your fronts?
