Thanks all, kinda strange to wake up at 1 in the morning to have coffee with the wife, walk in the living room and see something bigger than me.....Or as large framed as I am
.
I think everything was fair, 18 with tax. And he threw in the Quantum 5's with a new foam kit, the owner had showroom quality stands made for these also,just fantastic workmanship. they are in mint condition as well, I mean their so nice feed-n-wax isn't needed. Amazing to find in such nice condition, this fella reallly cared for his equipment. The QLS-1 cabinets IMHO are showroom quality, it doesn't get any better. Grills included.
The QLS-1's aren't without problems, the right speaker, number 1670 mids and emits are randomly playing. The emits are more problematic. 1669 seems to be OK and working. So it looks like I'll be diving head first into those pesky pots and possibly a re-cap. Condition wise, the mids all work, they're soft and supple,the emits look fine I see no evidence of being overdriven. I'm a 100% sure the crossovers are where there work is. Honestly I'm a bit intimidated by their size.
Even with the problems, everything I've read is true. They do sound a bit boxy but bass and soundstage is huge. I love everything about them !
My XPR GEN-2 did OK, for what I listen to it was pleasing to the ear at modest levels, when these are paid off it's going to be McIntosh, 352 or 401 to finish everything off.
I'm not going to be pesky and ask a bunch of questions. There's plenty to thank from the owners here with archived info from those that have been here and done it. That's my starting point. I promise to have pics up asap.
Again I want to Thank All !
Oh yeah almost forgot, you guys spotted those green mids ! They are an infinity product ! For car audio ! Well done. I have the brochure, I doubt I'll replace them they sound fine.
And for you hardcore guys, the letter I have from Infinity to this gentlemen, is for some sort of device for the QRS. A speaker I didn't even know existed.
It's hand signed by a Bascom H King. On official Infinity Letterhead dated November 1, 1978
