I purchased a pair of Infinity IL-40 speakers fro $733 a pair, an IL-36 center speaker for $375, and an IL-100 sub woofer for $375 at Circuit City. It required hard ball negotiating including getting price quotes from competing dealers.
This is excellent equipment. The Interlude has received excellent reviews and deserves every accolade heaped upon it. I'm in the process of upgrading to B & W and I have to admit there is a lot of difference between the HTM-1 center speaker and the IL-36 but very little difference between the CDM 9 NT and the IL-40 (the HTM-1 was $1640 and the CDM 9 NT were $2210 a pair.) I'm trying to sell the IL-36 sitting in my closet. I'm using the 4 IL-40 speakers for surrounds. The 2 subs sound great and work well with both music and movies.
I strongly recommend the IL-40 over the lesser models. This is a really great speaker for the price and compares favorably with models costing three times as much. I almost regret purchasing the CDM 9 NT speakers-the difference in quality is far less than the difference in price.
Good luck!!!
Best regards-Henry
